The development will reconstruct the railway track, expanding it from two to three, and in some cases to four tracks. The aim is to increase the number of trains running between the capital and its surroundings, make rail a competitive alternative to autos as a sustainable means of transport, and give it a more significant role within Budapest's transport system.
The work can start after the investment received its environmental protection permit for the third time on Nov. 24 last year.
Under the Southern Circular Railway investment, the track between Ferencváros and Kelenföld stations will be renovated, a new Danube bridge will be built, and three new stops named Nádorkert, Közvágóhíd and Népliget will be added.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
