Video of Keleti station - these works could not have been carried out without closure
As we reported earlier, the MÁV service has been completely closed Budapest’s Keleti railway station from 25 August to 20 September so that the largest technical refurbishment of the past decade could be carried out at one of Hungary’s most important railway hubs. The state-owned railway company has now shared a video on this, accompanied by a summary from Viktor Váczi, spokesperson for the MÁV Group, on on Facebook.
The works will include
- rails, switches and more than 2,000 sleepers are replaced;
- bedding will be replaced and three kilometres of bedding will be reinforced;
- 14 kilometres of tracks are regulated;
- and about 16 km of the overhead network will be repaired.
In addition, maintenance and replacement of the electrical distribution equipment supplying the operational and passenger areas of the station and its connection to a remote monitoring system are planned. Last but not least, the platform between platforms 1 and 2 will be rebuilt, maintenance will be carried out on all platform roofs and repairs will be made to the platform walkways.
