Train service resumes on key line
Following the receding of the Danube floodwaters, railway workers removed protective coverings and approximately 20,000 sandbags along the section between Lábatlan and Nyergesújfalu on the Esztergom–Komárom line, Economx reports. This stretch of the railway runs along the riverbank, doubling as part of the region’s flood defence infrastructure.
As part of the flood prevention efforts, the railway embankment was elevated near Tát to align it with the flood defence levee, aiding in water management, according to reports.
