Watch out: these are Hungary’s most problematic railways

Hungary railway transport travel

In Hungary, the railway network is quite extensive, you can travel to every corner of the country. However, some railways are more problematic than others. Read our article and have a look at the most problematic railways of Hugary!

Hvg.hu has collected the railways with the most issues. To compare them, they gave points for delays. However, difficulties due to accidents were not taken into account.

The most problematic railways

The Budapest-Záhony line, ranked first in both 2020 and 2021, topped the list on January 1 and remained there throughout. The second place goes to the Budapest-Újszász-Szolnok-Békéscsaba-Lőkösháza line. In 2021, the Lőkösháza line came second, but while the Záhony line won 264.5-168.5 then, this time the final result was 223.5-209. This means that this time, there were much fewer problems on the Záhony line than last year. As for the third place, the Budapest-Hatvan-Miskolc-Sátoraljaújhely line was the third most problematic.

Top ten

As a new line, the Szeged-Békéscsaba line between Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely was established, it changed the list. It entered the top 10 and knocked out the Székesfehérvár-Szombathely railway line. In addition, the Győr-Celldömölk, Győr-Veszprém and Szerencs-Nyíregyháza lines have been out of service since 2021.

These are the top ten most problematic railways:

  1. Budapest-Cegléd-Debrecen-Záhony
  2. Budapest-Újszász-Békéscsaba-Lőkösháza
  3. Budapest-Hatvan-Miskolc-Sátoraljaújhely
  4. Budapest-Székesfehérvár-Nagykanizsa-Gyékényes
  5. Budapest-Győr-Rajka
  6. Budapest-Pécs
  7. Szeged-Békéscsaba
  8. Budapest-Vác-Szob
  9. Budapest-Lajosmizse-Kecskemét
  10. Budapest-Esztergom

The top twenty most problematic railways

In the second ten, for the most part, there are lines that are also quite important at the national level. They are not overwhelmed by the traffic of the capital agglomeration every day – with one exception: the Debrecen-Nagykereki line.

The following railway lines are in the top 20:

  • 11. Székesfehérvár-Szombathely
  • 12. Székesfehérvár-Tapolca
  • 13. Cegléd-Szeged
  • 14. Debrecen-Füzesabony
  • 15. Hatvan-Szolnok
  • 16. Miskolc-Hidasnémeti
  • 17. Hatvan-Somoskőújfalu
  • 18. Debrecen-Nagykereki
  • 19. Budapest-Veresegyház-Vác
  • 20. Bajánsenye-Zalaegerszeg-Boba

Problems in proportion to the distance

However, if we take the proportion to the distance into account, we may get different results. It is obvious that there are many more possibilities for error on the 335 kilometers between Budapest and Záhony than on a rural railway line. This is why HVG also calculated the error list by dividing the error points by the length of the line.

The most problematic lines in proportion to the distance:

  1. Nagyatád-Somogyszob
  2. Budapest-Esztergom
  3. Budapest-Vác-Szob
  4. Budapest-Újszász-Békéscsaba-Lőkösháza
  5. Szeged-Békéscsaba
  6. Budapest-Lajosmizse-Kecskemét
  7. Budapest-Hatvan-Miskolc-Sátoraljaújhely
  8. Budapest-Győr-Rajka
  9. Budapest-Cegléd-Debrecen-Záhony
  10. Tatabánya-Oroszlány

The unproblematic railways

Although many railway lines are unreliable, you can find some unproblematic ones, too. However, not many. There were three of the country’s 85 railway lines from which not a single error message was received throughout the year. These trains run between Szombathely-Kőszeg, Mátészalka and Csenger, Fertőszentmiklós and Neusiedl am See.

    Forgot to mention Budapest’s number one flop- the beloved M3. The longest and most expensive renovation anywhere for a short tunnel.
