Attention: Budapest-Vienna railway line renovation continues in Hungary, timetable changes

The renovation of the Győr (Budapest-Vienna) railway line, which started last autumn, will continue from 27 April. The works will last until 9 May, during which time MÁV’s timetable on this main line will change.

MÁV will carry out track maintenance on the main Győr line (Budapest-Vienna) from mid-April to the beginning of July in several phases on different sections, based on the necessary technological specifications, the railway company said on Thursday.

The renewal will be a follow-up to the upgrade between Biatorbágy and Szárliget last autumn. Work on the line will run from 27 April to 9 May, between Bicske and Szárliget.

MÁV said that on the Bicske-Szárliget line, track and switch adjustments, ballast replacement, track tension release and overhead line maintenance are carried out.

The maintenance on the Budapest-Győr-Hegyeshalom line will affect the S10, S12 and G10 trains, the Savaria ICs of Szombathely and the Sopron intercity trains, Világgazdaság writes based on MÁV.

The departure and arrival times of the majority of international trains, including railjets, will remain unchanged from the original schedule, but the Kálmán Imre EuroNight, the Dráva and the Mura IC will operate with a modified timetable.

In addition to the maintenance work carried out by MÁV, track reconstruction is also taking place between Ferencváros and Budapest-Kelenföld stations during the same period, so the experts took this into account when designing the timetables.
