TTR141 Hungary the west.   Welcome to Hungary- a little exotic, a little different. This instalment takes you on a tour of the western part of the country starting at Hegyeshalom, the border station of MAV - the Hungarian state railway and the Austrian ?BB. We follow the Ostbahn in Hungary to the regional capital Gy?r, the junction station with the semi independent GySEV. At Gy?r there is a procession of international trains: RailJets from Munich, sleeper trains from Switzerland and classic ECs but no longer can we glimpse the Orient Express- that?s just a memory! International freight is seen as well ? Audi have a car plant in town and you see their unit train heading for Heilbronn in Germany. Before heading further south we look around the splendid town - then back tracking to Csorna to follow the EU freight corridor towards the rapidly expanding port of Koper (Slovenia) as far as Szombathely. Szombathely is another delightful town and an amazing rail centre, the crossroads of MAV, the Hungarian state railways and GySEV. Here you see passenger car representatives of four railway administrations of the former Yugoslavia in a single train! A new international freight route is being created that will be in direct competition with the ?BB S?dbahn and the new transalpine Koralmbahn between Graz and Villach. Then further south still to the twin border crossings ? both with Croatia ? of Murakereszt?r and Gy?k?nyes. These are now busy places ? freight is returning after years of Balkan turmoil.  Narrated RT 60 mins
