Change language:
Today, the passenger hall of the Nyugati Railway Station has reopened, awaiting travellers with renewed roof structure, modern digital information system and 14 double-decker trains in the metropolitan agglomeration.
Due to its technical condition and the preservation of its monumental value, the reconstruction of the roof structure of the 144-year-old Nyugati railway station became urgent last year. The works started in the spring of 2020, as one of the key elements of MÁV’s station development project, with the complete closure of the passenger hall. Upon the completion of the roof structure and other renovation processes,
the passenger hall of the Nyugati Railway Station has been reopened today, where a modern digital information system and new end-of-track displays await the nearly 18 million passengers every year.
As the Hungarian news portal Magyar Építők reports, the completion of the passengers’ hall is a milestone in the renovation project of Nyugati Railway station. The complete reconstruction will be realised by next summer. Within the framework of the second phase, the repair of the interior vault and the roof structure of the cash register will be carried out, followed by the lighting system and the reconstruction of the suspended ceiling in the underpass of the railway station.
By the end of the summer, the first phase has been successfully completed, thanks to which travellers can enjoy a freshly renovated passenger hall of the Nyugati Railway Station. The first stunning photos have been published on the Facebook page of the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) who greeted the renovated hall with a KISS motor train, as from the end of the summer, another four such double-decker trains became available on the suburban lines, by which currently there are 14 in the metropolitan agglomeration.
Splendid – and Masterful Craftsmanship.
Congratulations to ALL – from our Government down – for what they have Acheived – bringing back to life – this iconic and historical railway station.
Work still being undertaken, it excites more to think what the total completed finished restoration will bring me and ALL.
Thank-You – your work is a credit to YOU.
it looks as before. Horrible, outdated. Look at those floors, it’s only pavement. There is no colors, no decorations, nothing. So depressive. Even smaller cities like Krakow have much newer and far better looking train stations.
Bruno – what do you want us to Do ?
PULL it down and build another likened to Milano Centrale ?
History – those “infamous” times under the Italian Prime Minister – as he was in the early part of the 20th century – Benitto Mussolino – he “pushed” – the then Italian Government – Economically bankrupt – that Milano Centrale – its ongoing changes in design – should resemble the – POWER of a FACIST REGINE.
Your not suggesting Nyugati – be Felled – and replaced with a new station under the Mussolino “creed” of Political – Ideas and Philosophy ?
This is Hungary – No – we don’t entertain that idea in our way of Political THINKING.
Hungary – we are a Democracy.
