German rail disruptions expected due to strike, Hungarian trains affected
Several international trains departing from or arriving in Hungary are expected to have longer running times from Wednesday to Friday due to the planned walkout on German railways, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) said on its Mávinform website.
Mávinform reported that a walkout will be held on German rail from 2 AM on Thursday until 1 PM on Friday. This is expected to cause significant disruption and longer journey times.
Trains affected
The strike will affect the Kálmán Imre EuroNight with direct trains to Stuttgart, the Railjet xpress to Munich, the Metropol EuroNight with direct trains to Berlin and the Hungária EuroCity trains to Hamburg.
The German rail operator Deutsche Bahn (DB) advises passengers to postpone their journey if possible or to choose an alternative travel option. Travellers heading for Germany should consult the DB and MÁV information platforms and customer services.
Tickets and reservations purchased by 4 March for Thursday or Friday (7 and 8 March) for travel to, from or via Germany can be returned free of charge or used until 15 March. Tickets can be validated for other dates at international ticket offices.
Tickets purchased online can be redeemed in the mobile app and by emailing eszrevetel@mav-start.hu.
