The size of the Keleti station and the directly adjacent railway facilities may surprise readers less familiar with the subject.

As we reported earlier, the MÁV service has been completely completely closed Budapest’s Keleti railway station so that the largest technical refurbishment of the past decade could be carried out at one of the country’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.

  • 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.
