摘要

HUNGARY'S National Infrastructure Agency (NIF) issued a call for tenders for a detailed feasibility study of the proposed high-speed line from Budapest to Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on January 28. The study will include a cost:benefit analysis of the project and identification of the alignment for the line, 250-300km of which will run in Hungary. The Hungarian section will be suitable for 250-350km/h operation using existing infrastructure where possible. The section from the border to Cluj will be rebuilt to accommodate speeds of up to 160km/h.
