The final ETCS-solution was part of the call-for-tender for station interlocking. At the end of 2005, ETCS TSS of the line was declared ready by the supplier. In September of the same year, the two neighbouring railways organised two ceremonial train trips from Vienna and from Budapest to Mosonmagyaróvár (in Hungary), celebrating the readiness of the first border crossing ETCS line. The ceremony was attended by Jacques Barrot, European Commissioner for Transport (see Figure 2). At the end of 2005, exhaustive TSS examinations began (in some cases in terrible weather conditions; see Figure 3 and Figure 4). This actually came at the right time, because Budapest played host to the ERTMS World Conference in 2006. Technical visits were arranged as part of the conference, and two test trains travelled from Budapest to Bicske station, demonstrating some special traffic situations managed by ETCS.
The future: ERTMS/ETCS strategies of MÁV By 2006, MÁV was intent on installing ETCS Level 1 on pan-European Corridors IV, V and X and also ERTMS freight Corrridors D and E. A ministry decision in 2006, forced MÁV to change strategies and instead steer towards Level 2. (Unfortunately by 2006, some line reconstructions had already been prepared for Level 1 installation). In line with EU Directives, Hungary had to prepare strategies and plans for migration.
Leitha and Kimle over the Hegyeshalom border station. The test trips were successful and ETCS in Europe was given a green light! ETCS systems in Hungary – the past, present and future Pilot line for the Slovenian/Hungarian border In the second half of the 1990s, after dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia remained the only one neighbouring country of Hungary which did not have a railway connection. Therefore, the government of both countries came to a decision to build a new railway connection. This new railway line has now been built between Murska Sobota (Slovenia) and Zalalövő (Hungary). With the introduction of a new line, MÁV did not want to equip it with the traditional train detection (track circuit) system and ATP and therefore the call-for-tender for this line included electronic interlocking with ETCS Level 1 (according to SRS 2.
According to our plans, between 2007 and 2013, the following routes have been appointed for ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 TSS installation: Hódos-Boba (Corridor V and ERTMS Corridor D) Boba-Celldömölk-Győr (alternative route of Corridor V and ERTMS Corridor D, in Győr connected to Corridor IV) Budapest-Szolnok-Szajol-Békéscsaba-Lőkösháza (Romanian border) (Corridor IV and ERTMS Corridor C) Szajol-Debrecen (alternative route of Corridor V) Rajka (Slovakian border) – Hegyeshalom (Corridor IV) Székesfehérvár-Budapest (Corridor V and ERTMS Corridor D) Sopron (Austrian border) – Szombathely – Szentgotthárd (Austrian border) (GySEV line) Between 2013 and 2020, the following lines are planned to be installed with ETCS Level 2 systems: Debrecen-Nyíregyháza-Záhony (Ukrainan border) (Corridor V) Not finally decided, but other branches of Corridor IV and V can be installed with ETCS Level 2, as the following ones: Budapest-Miskolc-Nyíregyháza (Corridor V) Budapest-Pusztaszabolcs-Dombóvár-Pécs-Villány-Magyarbóly (Croatian border) (alternative route of Corridor V) Székesfehérvár-Nagykanizsa-Murakeresztúr (Croatian border) – Gyékényes (Croatian border) (alternative route of Corridor V) Dombóvár-Kaposvár-Gyékényes (Croatian border) (alternative route of Corridor V) Budapest-Szob (Slovakian border) (alternative route of Corridor IV) Komárom-Komarno (Slovakian border) (alternative route of Corridor IV) Budapest-Kiskunhalas-Kelebia (Serbian border) (Corridor X) Connecting lines to the freight terminals Of course, for ETCS Level 2 lines, GSM-R systems have to be installed.

After a lot of negotiations, clarification meetings, troubleshooting and re-testing procedures, at the end of 2007 MÁV started the trial ETCS operation with three V63 locomotives, in the first period with freight trains only. By mid-2008, Siemens, as OBS supplier for ÖBB, began its trial trips in Hungary between Hegyeshalom and Győr. These trips have been carried out with normal (commercial) passenger trains.
MÁV launched a call-for-tender in 2002 for the Hungarian section of the Budapest to Vienna line (174km, between Budapest-Kelenföld and Hegyeshalom). The winner was Alcatel Austria and the contract was signed at the end of 2003. It included the preparation of a complete Trackside System with necessary adaptation to the station interlocking (mostly to relay ones, and in three stations to electronic ones (SIMIS-C, Elektra) and open-line interlocking (relay block system and level crossings)). Beside TSS works, the supplier had to install OBS on 17 V63 electric engines. The ETCS TSS of two stations, Győr and Komárom, were taken into operation as a temporary solution, because the call-for-tender for their electronic interlocking was ongoing.
Frøsig – decided upon ETCS, as the the new ATP of Hungary. At the end of the 1990s, UNISIG tried to persuade the EU that ETCS would be applicable as a common ATP of Europe and that a test section should be found. UNISIG, ÖBB and MÁV formed the ETCS Vienna Budapest Consortium (ETCS VB) and created a short (but a border-crossing nonetheless) ETCS section in Austria and in Hungary, between Bruck a. d.
Unfortunately, because of very slow public procurement, up to now there is no result in GSM-R call-for-tenders. Hopefully, during the first half of 2009, the winner of this tender will be published and at the end of the year the contract can be signed, and by 2010, the planned beginning of ETCS Level 2 installation on the Hódos-Boba line can be used for ETCS communication. Requirements from the National Transport Authority As I mentioned earlier in this article, the traditional national Hungarian ATP system provides continuous track-to-train information. It is a great advantage, because upgrades and downgrades are both available. From a safety point of view, downgrading is very important, but from a line capacity point of view, upgrade is very useful. In the case of ETCS Level 1, these funcions can be available with infill elements only. However, MÁV did not want to install either a lot of infill balises or Euroloops and there was no GSM-R for radio-infill, so an acceptable solution for the National Transport Authority had to be found.
