The infrastructure has been completed and test operations have begun on the Hungarian section of the railway line connecting the two capitals. According to MÁV, trains can reach Kiskunhalas in as little as 75 minutes.

We have built a brand new railway line, and the Hungarian section of the Budapest-Belgrade line will soon be completed, begins the video message posted on Facebook video message posted on Facebook.

The old railway line has been practically dismantled and replaced by a brand new 160-kilometre-long railway line capable of speeds of 160 km/h for passenger and freight traffic. The infrastructure is complete, with the tracks, overhead lines, buildings, platforms and signals already in place, and, as they say in MÁV parlance, dark operation is now beginning.

He points this out and explains that this means that, under real-life conditions, two locomotives are used to test whether the tracks are truly passable and whether everything is functioning as planned.

As previously written about, the Hungarian RM International Zrt. and the Chinese-owned China Tiejiuju Engineering & Construction Kft., as well as the Chinese China Railway Electrification Engineering Group (Magyarország) Kft., According to János Lázár, Minister of Construction and Transport, mid-February.

Those who have been here before will not recognise the railway line.

In his message today, Zoltán Hegyi points out that anyone who has travelled this route before will hardly recognise the railway line, as the double-track line, which can be travelled at 160 km/h, will take 75 minutes to get from Budapest to Kiskunhalas and an hour and a half to the Kelebia border.

The railway line will play a key role in international passenger transport, as the opening of the Budapest-Belgrade connection will finally link the railway networks of Europe and Serbia. The journey time from Budapest to Belgrade will be approximately three and a half hours.
