Hungarian state railways, MÁV, have implemented significant speed restrictions due to extreme temperatures. The intense heat has caused rail tracks to expand, creating potential safety risks. Consequently, trains on several affected lines are now limited to a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. These precautionary measures are necessary to prevent derailments and infrastructure damage. Passengers are advised that these restrictions will likely lead to minor delays across the network. The railway operator is monitoring the situation as temperatures remain high. Travelers are encouraged to check schedules for updated arrival and departure times.
