📋 Tender Overview
Between the HEV stations of Szigetcsep and Szigetszentmarton-Szigetujfalu part of the track will be renewed thus the speed restrictions will be lifted. During the works from November 3 to 21 2025 the H6 HEV will only operate between Kozvagohid and Tokol: on the omitted section between Tokol and Rackeve the H6 and H6E replacement buses will operate.
The engineers of the MAV Groups suburban railway and bus services have developed an innovative passenger-friendly solution for the duration of the works. The H6E replacement bus operating between Tokol and Rackeve as well as the 697 bus running between Rackeve and Makad and Lorev have had their schedules and routes modified so that more services provide direct connections between the affected settlements without transfers. Thanks to this and the cooperation ensured by integration passengers do not need to change vehicles: they can travel from Tokol to Rackeve on the same bus as from Rackeve to Makad or Lorev thus ensuring more comfortable and simpler transportation in the region. The MAV Group hopes that passengers will respond positively to the new replacement system that provides direct connections. During the track closure the schedule of the 697 bus will also be slightly modified. Another advantage of the new replacement system is that despite the traffic changes the travel time is practically the same as the usual travel time. The schedules are available on the BudapestGO travel planner and on the bkk.hu/menetrendek website and further details about the traffic regulations can be found on this page. About the works: During the renovation part of the track bed between Szigetcsep and Szigetszentmarton-Szigetujfalu HEV stations will be renewed which will not only make travel safer but also smoother and more comfortable. During the works the worn-out track bed material will be removed and replaced with new railway crushed stone. Additionally we will replace the tracks where necessary and carry out timely repairs which will reduce the noise and vibration levels of the track and improve passenger comfort. After the completion of the works on the renovated section the current speed limit will be lifted and it will be possible to increase the permitted speed on the track.
