Heated trains in the summer, only in Hungary

A passenger informed 24.hu that the temperature was unbearable on one of the MÁV trains, and passengers later noticed that the heating was on. The incident happened in June when the outside temperature alone was hard to bear.

24.hu’s source was travelling home from work on the Monor-Cegléd route. The temperature was so hot that all of the windows and doors were wide open. There was no air-conditioning anywhere on the train. People sitting by the window were the first ones to notice that it only got hotter and hotter. As it turned out, the heating was on. The heat was unbearable; passengers were soaking in their own sweats the whole time.

24.hu decided to investigate why the train carriages were heated for no reason whatsoever in the middle of June.

24.hu asked the service provider MÁV about the incident, and the company said that it must have been an isolated incident because all the heating is turned off after the 15^th of April according to regulations (and taking into consideration the outside temperature).

Regarding the question of why was the heating working on that particular train, MÁV said nothing. It remains a mystery.
