Govt Soon To Decide On Plans For Budapest Train Stations
- 20 May 2016 9:00 AM
The government will decide on future plans for Budapest’s Nyugati (Western), Déli (Southern) and Kelenföld railway stations next week, government office chief János Lázár said, adding that the aim was to make transport safer and to expand green areas in the capital.
Among the plans to be examined are a proposal to building a link between Nyugati station with the zoo in the City Park under the Nyugati Liget project.
With regard to Déli station, the plans are to close down the station.
This can only happen if a substitute can be found; upgrading Kelenföld station is under consideration in that regard, Lázár said.
Plans on the use of 240 billion forints (EUR 759m) generated by the sale of state farmland are also on the agenda of next Wednesday’s cabinet meeting, he added.
