New timetable: travelling between Budapest-Austria changes, travel times increase

Change language:
The timetable on the Budapest-Tatabánya-Győr-Hegyeshalom-Austria main railway line will change from 18 September due to the reconstruction work on the line.
According to Pénzcentrum, the first phase will concern the segment between Biatorbágy and Szárliget. Based on the plans, it will last until 26 October. Therefore, passengers should expect longer travel times and replacement buses in some segments.
Only one train will commute on that segment every hour, providing an uninterrupted travel option between Budapest and Austria in each direction. But it will not stop between Kelenföld and Tatabánya stations. During the morning rush hours, some G10 trains and passenger trains will run on their full routes:
- the G10 train (4919) from Győr to Déli station, originally departing from Tatabánya at 5:34 AM
- the passenger train (9309, 9307) from Hegyeshalom to Keleti station, originally departing from Tatabánya at 6:29 AM and continuing at 7:29 AM
- at night, the G10 train (9318) from Keleti station to Győr, originally scheduled to depart at 21:40, will also run its full route.






Oops. Good thing Flixbus offers a decent alternative – 3 – 3.5 hours direct or minimal stops and very affordable …
