On 10th July two freight trains collided on line Budapest-Keleti - Hegyeshalom border between Biatorbágy and Herceghalom stations. The freight cars derailed, blocking both tracks and severely damaging them.
According to the plans, one track will be passable from 11th July. The reconstruction works of the second track can last for 5-7 days, thus a significant capacity reduction shall be expected during this period.
