People love the Light Train, so it is here to stay!
For this week, at least. We have light trams, light trolleys, and now came the light train as well. It has been on the road since the 24th.
The locomotive called SZILI is dressed up in a 350-meter-long string of LED lights. Since people are absolutely loving the Christmas train, MÁV has decided to let it run for another week. Here you can check the timetable of SZILI, which is updated every forenoon.

“The SZILI locomotive, dressed up in its festive finery, will continue its cross-country tour this week to meet the great interest. The locomotive is decorated with a 350-metre-long string of 3,500 LEDs,”
wrote MÁV.

They added that this was the first time that a decorated locomotive ran on the Hungarian high-speed railway network. Every day during the Christmas period, the train travelled in a different direction. During the holiday season, the train reached Pécs, Szeged, Kecskemét, on the IC line of the Eastern Circle and on the Debrecen-Nyíregyháza-Miskolc line.

“Szili will set off on its last journey on 30 December this year to illuminate the railway lines of the Transdanubian region with its thousands of lights”,
shared MÁV on its Facebook page. The light train will say goodbye to people at Balaton.
MÁV also shared a spectacular video of decorating Szili, check it out:

“All Aboard” – such on-going IMAGINATION & CREATIVITY – can be implimented – to make not just Trains, but Trams, Buses, Trolley Buses – and of course, our Much Loved – Public Ferry’s – that HOPEFULLY, all the Bureaucratic ‘Crap” has been sorted out by the Mayors Office of Budapest & the Government, and we see them – on the Danube next Summer.
Trams that run on the “largish” – public tram line services in Manchester, in the United Kingdom – when the driver has need to express displeasure of a motor vehicle or human – act of annoyance – his/hers – what we know as a Bell sound of annoyance – in Manchester – the trams “sound off” – the whistle sound of a Steam Locomotive.
Little things – outside the Square – creativity & imagination, keeping – attracting PEOPLES attention.
Congratulation – ALL at MAV – wonderful inovation – Thank-You and WHAT next – are the Thinking Creative Minds – in the Marketing Department of MAV – what do they have installed for US.
