This link between the Székesfehérvár and Sárbogárd lines provides an alternative to the Budapest - Székesfehérvár line via Erd alsó. Doubling of the latter route, completed in September 2013, has relieved the pathing pressures previously experienced, nevertheless this link is still used by an hourly local service between Kőbánya-Kispest and Székesfehérvár. No other trains appear to be booked via this route (have a | marking at Érd felső). It should be noted that punctuality can affect the route taken by non-stop trains.

Obscure services

In the heading to each entry, the map reference for the line in the European Railway Atlas 2016 published by M.G. Ball is shown.

Almásfüzitő avoiding line: Tata – Almásfüzitő felső

[1] (ERA 207B3) HU19/1

Celldőmőlk avoiding line: Külsővat (Vinár elágazás) – Boba (Celldömölk-Rendezö)

[10, 25] (ERA 206C1) HU19/2

This east <=> south curve avoiding Celldőmőlk is used by one summer dated train pair.

Érd felső (Érd elágazás) – Tárnok

[30a] (ERA 214B1) HU19/4

This link between the Székesfehérvár and Sárbogárd lines provides an alternative to the Budapest - Székesfehérvár line via Erd alsó. Doubling of the latter route, completed in September 2013, has relieved the pathing pressures previously experienced, nevertheless this link is still used by an hourly local service between Kőbánya-Kispest and Székesfehérvár. No other trains appear to be booked via this route (have a | marking at Érd felső). It should be noted that punctuality can affect the route taken by non-stop trains.

Kőbánya felső - Rákos (via low level tracks)

[30, 80a] (ERA 214A2) HU18/5

This route from the south side of Kőbánya felső station to the north side of Rákos station via the low level lines was used in 2015/16 by a summer dated train pair between Miskolc and the Lake Balaton area. The same train pair ran in 2016/17 and run this year, but do not call at Kőbánya felső, so it is not clear whether the train takes this route. Confirmation of the route would be welcomed by the compilers

D Note 1 15607 Miskolc Tiszai - 08:49 Gödöllő - Keszthely
D Note 1 15606 Keszthely - 18:25 Budapest Kelenföld – Miskolc Tiszai

Note 1: These trains are omitted from table 30, but timings are shown in table 80a at Gödöllő. Full timings at all calling points are available on the elvira.mav-start.hu journey planner. The Budapest Kelenföld time has been taken from there.

Budapest-Ferencváros - Kőbánya felső

[30, 80a] (ERA 214A1) HU18/6

This east - west route avoiding Budapest Keleti is used by one summer dated train pair between Miskolc and the Lake Balaton area.

D Note 1 15607 Miskolc Tiszai - 08:49 Gödöllő - Keszthely
D Note 1 15606 Keszthely - 18:25 Budapest Kelenföld – Miskolc Tiszai

Note 1: These trains are omitted from table 30, but timings are shown in table 80a at Gödöllő. Full timings at all calling points are available on the elvira.mav-start.hu journey planner. The Budapest Kelenföld time has been taken from there.

Dombóvár avoiding line: Dombóvár alsó – Kaposszekcsős (Dombóvár elágazás)

[40, 41] (ERA 212B3) HU18/7

This west <=> south curve is used by trains between Kaposvár and Pécs which do not call at Dombóvár. The platforms at Dombóvár alsó are on the curve so trains which start/terminate/reverse here do not connect with the line towards Kaposvár.

SSuO plus daily in Summer 8803 Tapolca - 19:57 Kaposvár – Pécs
SSuO plus daily in Summer 8802 Pécs – 08:06 Sásd – Tapolca

Rákospalota-Újpest - Kőbánya felső

[70, S3] (ERA 214C2) HU18/8

This route is used by the one daily international service between Budapest Keleti and Slovakia, as shown in Table 70.

Cegléd avoiding line: Ceglédi szállások (Nyársapát elágazás) – Abony (Abony elágazás)

[82, 140] (ERA 208B1) HU18/9

This east <=> south curve avoiding Cegléd is used by the following services:

D FO Ex1575 Szeged - 14:28 Kecskemét – Miskolc-Tiszai
D SuO Ex1576 Miskolc-Tiszai - 19:01 Abony – Szeged

Szolnok avoiding line: Abony (Paládics-puszta elágazás) – Abonyi út (Újszász elágazás)

Eger-Rendező: Eger-Rendező elágazás – Eger-Rendező – Eger

[87a] (ERA 208C3) HU18/11

The single line approaching Eger from the south splits to serve a substantial goods yard [Rendező] which potentially provides alternative bi-directional routes for arrivals and departures. The direct route is approximately 2.4km and the route via Eger-Rendező is a little over 2.5km. Click on the thumbnail for a full size diagram.


The timetable on Monday to Friday has two instances where there are conflicting trains between Eger and Maklár. Most Eger arrivals take 9 minutes from Maklár the two conflicting arrivals are allowed 12 minutes and two other trains are allowed 10 minutes. Departures from Eger are allowed 10 minutes to Maklár (including the working conflicting with train 5510) with the exception of train 547 and one other departure, which does not conflict with a passenger arrival, both of which are allowed 12 minutes. It is speculated that the conflicting trains allowed longer to travel between Maklár and Eger are routed via Eger-Rendező but reports of trains known to have travelled via Eger-Rendező would be appreciated by the Compilers..

5510 Füzesabony - 04:34 Andornaktálya – Eger
EITHER 5500 Budapest-Keleti - 06:58 Maklár - Eger
OR 547 07:04 Eger - Budapest-Keleti
553 17:04 Eger - Budapest-Keleti


Zalaegerszeg avoiding line: Zalaegerszeg-Ola (Zalaszentiván elágazás) – Zalaegerszeg-Ola (Andráshida elágazás)

[25] (ERA 97A1) HU18/12

This east <=> west curve avoids Zalaegerszeg and is used by the following services while engineering work takes place between Veszprém and Ajka in summer 2018.

Note that whilst the western end of the avoiding line is at Zalaegerszeg-Ola, the station has one platform face for the Zalaegerszeg route and the other platform face for the avoiding line and the physical junction is west of the station. Trains 246 and 247 are a bus between Veszprém and Ajka.

D1 1247 Ljubljana – 04:10 Zalalövő – Budapest Keleti
D2 247 Ljubljana – 13:07 Zalalövő – Ajka (- Budapest-Déli)
