August will be a busy period for Hungarian rail infrastructure workers since they will be occupied with renovating critical railway links. Those include the Gubacsi bridge in Budapest, the section between Ferencv\u00e1rosi railway station and Soroks\u00e1ri \u00fat, including a bridge renovation, and the reconstruction of railway line 150. What is the trick in this case? The fact that work co-occurs, thus creating substantial disruptions to intermodal operations.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>For a country like Hungary, where rail cargo transit options are already considerably restricted, the simultaneous launch of rail infrastructure works seems like a red flag. Hungarian rail professionals are expressing their discontent in this regard: \u201cThe stakes are high, as around 90 per cent of intermodal traffic in Hungary takes place at the terminals available on these routes,\u201d commented Lajos H\u00f3dosi, managing director of HUNGRAIL, adding that perfect coordination is critical to avoid immense loses for operators.<\/p>\n
