📋 Tender Overview
From Tuesday on Wednesday the country split in the railway sense: while traffic is gradually restored in Transdanubia and we can rest on more and more lines some lines of northeastern Hungary have caused new difficulties and a hurricane wind yesterday afternoon. In this area both Monday and Tuesdays storm damage and the gradual reboot of rail traffic will continue to be continued.
Two major waves of the start of the week at the beginning of the week caused unexpected damage to almost nationwide. On Monday the most powerful railway area was Lake Balaton the capitals agglomeration and later the lane north and southeast of Debrecen and on Tuesday the second wave of the hurricane hit the Northern Great Plain where it made it difficult to restore earlier damage and cause further problems.
On the main line of Debrecen a tree on the line was fell on the pipeline the track was excluded for a longer period of time but traffic was restored to the night hours. Many rainfall and malfunctions that affect the power network of the public service provider have also caused power supply and safety problems but most of them were also eliminated for the night hours.
The 101 Bishop-Biharkeresztes line is being restored on Monday which is expected today.
Unfortunately due to continuous exclusion and uncertain information several trains suffered hours in some cases several hours late and forced to wait for the open rail. The organization of the rescue was made difficult by the fact that the storm did not temporarily work as a result of the storm and the previously used amplifier bus capacity was not made by road obstacles.
For the two days it can be said that every main lines were affected by the storm more than a dozen places of wood leaning on the rails and/or overhead line making over a hundred locations overhead or wood. Most of these at about 80 interventions have been able to eliminate the hundreds of our staff who were on duty or extraordinary work on Tuesday morning and morning in some cases voluntarily interrupting their holidays.
A two-story KISS motor train failed as a result of the storm: one of the rails passed examined and traveled and another at lightning at Kobanya-Kispest station.
Personal injury miraculously did not occur but at the same time during the stormy weather a colleague of Kisvarda was hit by a lightning strike and was taken to hospital for observation and fortunately he was fine.
In the case of Volan there were many lines involved with several hours of roadblocks difficult to transport which was twice the problem: directly to obstruct bus transport and indirectly through train replacement and removal.
Despite the difficulties the bus reinforcement spun in the highest grade: the first day was not less than 207 and the second day was more than 130 Mavibus nationwide.
Both our entry and our passenger company have served participated in the ministry of all our invited colleagues or in the prevention of damage or maintenance of transport providing replacements and discharge.
Current situation on the affected railway lines
On Tuesday morning train traffic could start most of the lines where Mondays storm caused significant damage. However some lines are restored and some lines can be delayed for days.
From Tuesday the timetable was restored on another 5 lines:
From the morning the schedule was restored on the HEV line H5 after the fallen trees were removed. On the Esztergom line and the Budapest-Vac-Room line the timetable was restored early Tuesday afternoon and traffic on the Veresegyhaza line was restarted in the evening.
On the Debrecen-Nagykereki line S506 flights will run according to Wednesday morning.
Where the recovery is still on:
On Wednesday the train traffic started on the northern shore of Lake Balaton the blue wave InterCityk is already on their entire route but instead of the Katica interrences and the hookahs it is still a replacement bus between Csajag and Balatonfured.
Our colleagues are working on the Puspokladany -Biharkeresztes and Nyiregyhaza -Vasarosnameny line and we carry our passengers on these sections with replacement buses.
