Route

edit

The line runs roughly east–west between Tatabánya and Pápa. In Tatabánya, the line diverges from the Budapest–Hegyeshalom railway line west of the Tatabánya railway station. In Környe, 7.6 kilometres (4.7 mi) from Tatabánya, the Környe–Oroszlány railway line veers off to the south to serve Oroszlány. Electrification ends at this point, and there is no passenger service beyond Környe. The line connects with the Székesfehérvár–Komárom railway line [hu] in Kisbér, the Győr–Veszprém railway line [hu] in Veszprémvarsány, and the Győr–Celldömölk railway line and Pápa–Csorna railway lines [hu] in Pápa.[1]

Operation

edit

Hungarian State Railways operates the S12 service as part of Budapest's suburban network. The S12 runs hourly between Oroszlány and Tatabánya, with connecting service to and from Budapest Déli station.[2]
