Hungary’s National Transport Centre (NKK) has been awarded 2.8 million euros for the upgrade of the Nyugati station, Dávid Vitézy said on Facebook.

Meanwhile, he said a project to build new train stations in southern Budapest had been rated “excellent” by the European Commission.

However, because the project’s environmental permit was revoked earlier this year, a decision on its financing has been delayed until a new permit is obtained, Vitézy said.

The state secretary called the project “the most important rail link between the eastern and western part of the country”.
