In our newspaper, followed the maintenance work carried out on the railway line in Rákosrendező over the summer.

During the renovation, more than 1.5 kilometres of track were rebuilt, nearly a dozen switches were replaced, 5 kilometres of overhead line were renewed, and 13 switches were connected to the centralised electrical adjustment system.

Zsolt Hegyi, CEO of the MÁV Group, announced on Monday on the Facebook page that track closure works and the required follow-up adjustments had been completed, meaning that as of today, slow signals and previous speed restrictions on the affected sections had been lifted.

Trains can now travel at speeds of up to 80 km/h instead of the previous 20-40 km/h.

The Director General pointed out that this means a big change especially at the Szegedi út crossing: trains arrive faster, the braking distance has increased, and therefore irregular crossing significantly increases the risk of accidents.
