Within the framework of the tender of Connecting European Facility (CEF), Hungary is applying for financial support for the expansion of two internationally important railway networks.

Applications for the tender can be submitted until the end of March. The winning projects will be decided by the European Commission and the MPs, and the final results will be published in the summer.

Hungary may also have the chance to win the financial support,

requesting a total of EUR 7.64 million (~HUF 2.8 billion) to continue the preparations for the expansion of two internationally important railway networks:

1. New railway connection between the Kelenföld and Nyugati railway stations

As a result, the largest and most dense section of railway lines in Hungary could be created. Hungary requests support to finance the environmental protection parts of the planned new railway connection.

2. The Hungarian section of the Budapest-Warsaw high-speed railway

A feasibility study is already being carried out on the creation of a high-speed rail link between Central European capitals in an environmentally friendly way. The infrastructural development could create a convenient, fast, competitive mode of transport between Budapest, Bratislava, Prague, and Warsaw, connecting the region to the Western European high-speed rail network.
