Services at Budapest Keleti railway station to resume after derailment
Train services at Budapest’s Keleti railway station were set to resume early Tuesday after a derailment halted traffic, Mávinform said overnight on Monday.
Trains arriving from the east and the southeast of the country will start arriving early in the morning. Trains coming from the west and the southwest are expected to be diverted to Kelenföld railway station until 9 AM.
Full service is expected to resume on these lines gradually, and certain trains will be arriving at and departing from other Budapest stations, Mávinform said.
Service at Keleti station was suspended after five carriages of an InterCity train arriving from Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár) derailed on Sunday evening.
János Lázár, the construction and transport minister, said later on Tuesday that rail traffic has resumed at Keleti station.
In a Facebook post, Lázár thanked the railway workers for their work to restore service and passengers for their patience and understanding.
