Portfolio
A man told the Hungarian police on Wednesday that a bomb was planted on one of the international trains on the Hungarian network. The police is checking every international train which led to a temporary halt of all the affected trains as of 9:30 A.M., the state railway company (MÁV) announced.
Once the cars are checked, the trains will be on their way again. Until midnight on Wednesday, the policy is sweeping every international train at the border therefore delays should be expected, MÁV said, asking for the passengers’ understanding and patience.

There’s an interactive map you can track the trains at and how much they will be delayed.
