Будимпештанска железничка станица у припремама за возове из Београда
Будимпешта – Железничка пруга Будимпешта–Београд, која ће, како се најављује, крајем фебруара бити пуштена у рад, не само да представља нову стратешку железничку вез у између Мађарске и Србије већ и увелико преобликује мађарску железничку инфраструктуру. Пругом ће, наиме, саобраћати нископодни електрични возови кинеске производње, што је био разлог да једно од кључних саобраћајних чворишта у Будимпешти – железничка станица „Келети” – уђе у нову фазу обнове.
TL;DR
- The Budapest-Belgrade railway line, set to open by the end of February, requires significant infrastructure changes in Budapest.
- Budapest's Keleti station is undergoing platform reconstruction to accommodate new, low-floor Chinese-made trains.
- An additional 300 million forints (770,000 euros) has been allocated for platform modifications at Keleti station due to initial incompatibility with the Chinese trains.
- The incompatibility arose because technical specifications from the Serbian side were not provided to MAV in a timely or detailed manner.
- The Hungarian section of the line, financed primarily by a Chinese loan (85%), is upgraded to a double track and designed for speeds up to 160 km/h.
- Freight services are expected to commence on February 27th, with passenger services anticipated by mid-March, pending final approvals.
- The line is expected to significantly relieve road traffic and accelerate goods transport between the two countries and wider European markets.
- Hungary aims to ensure border and passport checks do not exceed 30 minutes to make rail transport more competitive.
