Hungarian railway service disruptions
Overview
Railway operations in Hungary have faced significant disruptions due to infrastructure damage and rolling stock incidents.
On September 21, 2026, a fallen tree near Ferihegy caused overhead lines to snap, impacting the Cegléd main line near Budapest. This resulted in the suspension of train passage between Kőbánya-Kispest and Vecsés, necessitating replacement bus services and causing diversions for long-distance trains from Szeged.
Later, on September 28, 2026, a train derailment in an area managed by MÁV Start led to the temporary suspension of traffic on the Budapest–Curtici route. The incident caused delays for international services destined for Bucharest, with Romanian operator CFR Călători attempting to maintain service using reserve wagons.
