The extreme heat will persist in the next few days, a national heat alert is in effect, the Ministry of the Interior has put the red code into effect. In hot weather, due to thermal expansion, harmful material stress is created in the tracks and overhead lines.
MÁV therefore constantly monitors the track network, measures the track temperature and, if necessary, introduces speed restrictions, which can lead to longer journey times. In some areas and lines, the traffic can therefore be interrupted, even longer delays can occur, in which case the trains cannot even keep the connections.
For all these reasons, the railway company asks its passengers to travel on the weekend only when absolutely necessary, and if they do so, they must inform themselves about the current traffic situation on MÁV's internet and social media pages, at the railway company's customer service, at MÁVDIREKT - points out the MÁV .
