Déli train station closed this weekend



Déli train station in Budapest will be completely closed on October 10-11 for maintenance, Transport and Investment Minister Dávid Vitézy said on Facebook.
The work will include repairs to points, the replacement of rails and sleepers, restoration of the Kelenföld tunnel entrance and retaining wall, and repairs to damaged platform surfaces.

A broader redevelopment of the station area is also due to begin soon under the Gábor Baross Railway Development Plan.

The announcement follows a shunting locomotive derailment at Déli on Monday, which disrupted rail services.
