Renewal of 10 Main Railway Stations in Hungary Ahead

• 22 Oct 2024 11:40 AM

The construction and transport ministry is coordinating the revamp of ten busy railway stations, Janos Lazar, who heads the ministry, said on Monday.

As part of the scheme, Debrecen railway station in will be rebuilt with the involvement of private capital, Lazar said in a video posted on Facebook.

Commercial functions are being hived off from railway purposes and handed over to private capital, he said, noting plans to create a shopping mall with a railway point of arrival.

Tenders are open to private capital for the projects in the cities of Debrecen, in eastern Hungary, Gyor, in the west, and Szeged, in the south of the country.
