Devecseri train trap: replacement bus delayed, passengers hanging! 🚂

Locals and holidaymakers traveling to the northern shore of Lake Balaton, in the direction of Veszprém and Balatonfüred, were also affected by the railway accident in Devecser, which paralyzed traffic on line 29 for several hours. 🚂 The technical rescue lasted more than six hours, replacement buses were started, but due to their delay, the connecting train did not wait for the passengers at Devecser, leaving them at the station.

The accident happened on Thursday afternoon near Devecser, where two trains collided. The restoration work at the site could take weeks, so the traffic was directed to a diverted route. MÁV tried to bridge the problem with replacement buses, but dozens of passengers were stranded at the Devecser connection, who had to wait hours for the next flight. This is particularly annoying for those traveling in the Balaton region, as line 29 is key from Bakony to the lakeside settlements.

Local impact at Lake Balaton: For families living on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, for example in Balatonalmádi, Füred or Csopak, this causes problems on a daily basis when going to work or school. And for vacationers in the summer, at the peak of the beach season, it can even mean massive delays, worsening the tourist experience. According to regional passengers, MÁV's communication was also incomplete, many had to call a taxi. ⚠️ The forums of the Balaton communities are already flooded with complaints: "So how do we get to Lake Balaton on time?" - asks a reader from Veszprém.

According to the MÁV, replacement buses will run until full restoration, but passengers are asked to find out about the schedule. Balatonlife monitors the developments, because lakeside life depends on reliable transport.
