From | To | Length [km] | Max speed [km/h] |
---|---|---|---|
Keleti railway station | RĂĄkos | 8 | 80 |
RĂĄkos | TĂĄpiĂłszele | 60 | 100 |
TĂĄpiĂłszele | Szolnok | 32 | 120 |
It was opened for traffic on 12 March 1882. It was an important line of that period, because the other line connecting the two cities were privately owned by StEG and MĂV needed a track owned by itself which would connect JĂłzsefvĂĄros railway station with Szolnok. [1] Later it was expanded up to the Keleti railway station. Line was electrified in 1969. There were huge changes in the early 2000s. New rails came to the track, lines between RĂĄkos and MaglĂłd as well as between SĂŒlysĂĄp and TĂĄpiĂłszecsĆ and between Ăjszsz and Szolnok were renovated. Some stations were renovated as well. Rebuilding of the line between TĂĄpiĂłszecsĆ and NagykĂĄta was finished in 2008.
MĂV charged MĂVĂPCEL Kft[ clarification needed] for the renovation of the line. It was funded from loan issued by the EBRD. As part of the Ăj MagyrorszĂĄg (New Hungary) improvement plan, there were built P+R and B+R parking places: to the stations of the following villages, towns: GyömrĆ, SĂŒlysĂĄp, TĂĄpiĂłszecsĆ, SzentmĂĄrtonkĂĄta, NagykĂĄta. There are cameras which safeguard the vehicles.
It is one of the busiest suburban rail lines of the country. Its characteristic is that mainly the whole traffic is made of the travelling to and from working. As a result, line is heavily used in rush-hours.
Since 10 December 2006 there is a clock-face scheduling on the line. As a result there is express train in every two hours to BĂ©kĂ©scsaba, there is regional train to Szolnok, which does not stop to SĂŒlysĂĄp, except at RĂĄkos and KĆbĂĄnya-felsĆ. Since 12 December 2010 there is regional train between Budapest and SĂŒlysĂĄp in working days twice, on public holidays once in an hour. These stop at every stations and stops. In rush hours of working days there is a fast regional train between Budapest and NagykĂĄta. These run hourly. To the capital, both regional and zoning trains run in every 20 minutes. As of today, there is no service at Abonyi Ășt station at the line.
There are MĂV V43 and MĂV V63 locomotives on the line. Since 2010 there are some MĂV 1047 and ĂBB 1116, Taurus rails as well. Later ones are operated by Rail Cargo Hungaria. There are EuroNight-, EuroCity-, InterCity-, express-, regional freight trains, LoLa as well. Regional trains are usually made up by 5 coaches and one locomotive. These are usually push-pull trains. Most of them are Bhvs reconstructed in Dunakeszi by Bombardier.
Since the autumn of 2012 there is some FLIRT stock as well, which was produced by Stadler.
