The Hungarian Railway Company (MAV) closed the railway station, which hosts 60-70 thousand passengers every day, because of urgent maintenance works on June 22. On the renovation of the station, 150-200 people of 8 professions worked, and approximately the same number of people carried out the one and a half year-long preparation.

Among others, they completed the maintenance of the passenger information systems, so the scripts will be more visible. They asphalted the passenger platforms, cleaned the glass and wall surface of the large hall, and replaced the broken and missing glasses. In addition, the removal of graffiti is constant in the subways.

According to origo.hu, part of the work was the renovation and maintenance of the tracks, sidings and of several points in part of the introductory rails. 23 km of overhead lines have been screened, the interlocking of the station has been renovated and the full examination of them has been carried out.
