The railway company said almost half of the tickets issued so far are for Budapest, with most people travelling to Nyugati and Keleti stations.

Most refugees are travelling on to Austria, Germany and Poland.

MÁV runs a special train every four hours between Záhony, on the Ukraine border, and Keleti station.

As the vehicles are provided by mobilising reserves, the special service does not typically affect scheduled services.
