- Budapest-Warsaw high-speed railway line will also be able to branch out to Vienna and Székesfehérvár
The high-speed railway line connecting the V4 capital cities may join the region to the Western European high-speed network by a branch line to Austria. Some sections of the line foreseen to be built in the next decade will enable speeds of up to 320 km/h. The tracks would also be used by domestic InterCity trains, for example to offer a more competitive alternative to road transportation to Lake Balaton.
The planned high-speed railway line will be built right along Hungary’s most used transportation axis. The corridor from Budapest to the northwestern direction is considered the most crowded one, in terms of road, railways and air. Railway line No. 1 (Budapest-Hegyeshalom-Rajka) serves 70 cargo trains and 400 passenger trains daily, operating on almost full capacity. The situation is the same on Motorway M1, carrying 70 thousand vehicle units daily, half of which are vans and trucks. A large chunk of this extraordinary traffic is attributed to international transit, but the volume of traffic to/from the Budapest agglomeration is also close to its limitations.
The new railway tracks would start from Kelenföld and would proceed to the west, avoiding Vértes hills to the south to Székesfehérvár. Trains would call at station Győr, and exit Hungary at Rajka to Bratislava (Pozsony), and at Hegyeshalom to Vienna. On the tracks designed to allow for a speed of up to 350 km/h, trains could travel by speed of 250-320 km/h except city speed limits. Two or more carriage classes would be available on the trains, with a buffet or dining car on each train.
According to the preliminary calculations, train services on this line could offer a more comfortable and faster ride to more than twenty million international and domestic passengers per year. Based on the feasibility study, the thousand-billion investment required by the development would return in the positive impacts on the traffic distribution, on the environment and on other issues, boosting the economy and tourism at the same time. The investment would free up significant capacities on already existing railway lines, facilitating the operation of more suburban and regional passenger trains or more freight trains. The new tracks would relieve the main roads from traffic jams, and CO2 emissions could decrease by four hundred thousand tons per year. In terms of travel time and comfort, high-speed trains offer a competitive alternative to road and air transportation.
The European Union intends to double domestic passenger traffic of high-speed trains by 2030, and triple by 2050. For a development matching these ambitious goals, financial contribution could easily be granted by the European Union. Preparatory works are also planned to be financed with community co-funding. Hungary has applied for a grant for the next phase through a Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) 2021 tender. Decision on the financing of environment protection works is expected for this summer. The development idea can be harmonized with the construction of the Győr-Székesfehérvár section of the freight railway line to be built around the southern part of Budapest towards that area, in the same track lane of V0.
László Palkovics, Minister for Innovation and Technology of Hungary said: “Thanks to the high-speed railway line, travel times to Vienna and Bratislava would decrease to less than two hours, to Prague to three and a half hours. Trains would get from Budapest to Warsaw in five and a half hours. In addition to connecting the V4 capitals, the investment would also connect Hungary’s high-speed railway line network to the European one. The new railway line would offer a faster transportation alternative than highways to Sopron, Veszprém and to Lake Balaton. The works are foreseen to commence in the early 2030s, but the section between Kelenföld and Törökbálint could start earlier, with the reconstruction of already existing tracks.”

HSR line should have the following path: Budapest - Nove Zamky - Bratislava - Brno - Ostrava - Katowice - Warszawa (Warsaw).
Directing HSR line through Győr makes difficult to approach Bratislava from Győr without complicated and deep tunneling.
Well, that's Slovakia's problem... Nobody's preventing them from upgrading the Hungary-Nové Zámky-Bratislava railway to 200 km/h. And the HRS might have bypass Slovakia altogether, it the Slovak government didn't promise they'll do something about it. They didn't...
That's cool
I wonder how they design such a map
Passengers are just side dish. Cargo freight services are the main dish.
🙏Please,Make it a High Speed rail of 900Km/Hr.

If this is Chinese-built, I fear this railway is a *TOFU DREG PROJECT.* Chinese are worldly renown for shoddy engineering.
Previously, Chinese had built railways in Saudi Arabia. Now Saudis deeply regret their decisions. Chinese had ripped them off with inferior quality materials. Saudis have gone back to hiring companies from USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, etc.
They are the current master builder now. They used more concrete in 3 years (2011-2013) than the US did in the whole 20th century. They built more infrastructures both in China and in other countries than anyone, all that in less than 20 years. Just type "China cities" here in youtube and you would see that even their lower tier cities is a lot more beautiful than the US major cities.
They are not the China of the late 70s when they are poorer than some poor african countries nor the china of the 90s when they are just copying technologies. They are now the leading edge of new technology like AI, EV, quantum computing, etc. Don't let your hate for them cloud your eyes.
You are still living hallucination or you just listen to BS news dude. As if it will be great if the rail is to be built by American..... perhaps after 200 years it will still be under construction. You should wake up from your hallucination and get passport to travel to the other side of the world, do remember to hold your jaw, it may drop onto the floor
tuks kano Japanese technology lasts much longer than Chinese.
@@pinklady7184 Go away! I don't talk to ignoramuses.
"The Chinese are known for bad engineering". What is that western propaganda doing when people tell such lies. Funny and sad at the same time.
Its not gonna be popular. It is simply slow. the distance between Budapest and Vienna is 214km or 133 miles, if the train takes just under two hours lets say 1h 45 m Majority of the people would still choose the car which is quicker and more convenient in many ways. The train should be going all the way about 350Km/h to have a chance for the probably very high ticket price.. And I say all the time, this is the worst time to invest into rolling railway. Rolling railway is the past. Huge mistake to shovel money into it. Hungary should go for the MAGLEV option
That's ridiculous. Maglev is a lot more expensive than rolling rail. High speed rail is the future, just look at countries like China, Japan and Spain.
Maglev is no use for Freight which this line will use or provide capacity on existing lines.
@Mikka Z. Kitka You pobably don't understand high speed rail., it takes nearly 3 hours to get to Vienna by car. If MÁV could offer competitive priceing it would win. Because you have to pay for the cars maintenace, it's fuel, toll's and if quickly adds up. If it is around the same price but faster by rail a lot of peaople will switch over to highspeed rail. Yes, currently in hungary our main electric rolling stock still consists of Ganz-MÁVAG V43's but their time will eventually come, and the IC+ programme combined with this, new locos and a cometitive priceing model could win over a lot of people.
@@aaaa7007 I am already using the existing express Rail line between Budapest and Vienna, it only takes 2 hours and 40 minutes for an average price of 20€.
If it is less then 30€ I would use the high speed line as well. Tho all the way to Warsaw would still be a bit far, I think I'd rather sleep in a Night Train for that. I rather sleep on a couchette for 10 hours on a 14 hour journey then sit through 6-7 hours on a high speed rail. Anyway better connectivity is always a good thing.
Are you from the U.S?
