Services at Keleti station to resume after derailment

Written by BT/MTI
Train services at Budapest's Keleti railway station were set to resume early Tuesday after a derailment halted traffic, Mavinform 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 Kelenfold railway station until 9am.

Full service is expected to resume on these lines gradually, and certain trains will be arriving at and departing from other Budapest stations, Mavinform said.

Service at Keleti station was suspended after five carriages of an InterCity train arriving from Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvar) derailed on Sunday evening.

Janos Lazar, the construction and transport minister, said later on Tuesday that rail traffic has resumed at Keleti station.

In a Facebook post, Lazar thanked the railway workers for their work to restore service and passengers for their patience and understanding.
