This list is based on the timetable dated from 9 December 2007 until 13 December 2008, unless otherwise shown. Standard abbreviations used are explained in the General Information document.
Last update for this page: 27 October 2008.
Almásfüzitő avoiding line: Tata – Almásfüzitő felső [1] (42A1 not shown) HU08/1
Almásfüzitő station is on a loop separated from the main line by some sidings. The avoiding line is used by trains on the Tatabánya - Komárom route not calling at Almásfüzitő station.
Budapest- Zugló - Rákosrendező [2, 100a, 142] (44B2) HU08/2
| 2819 | Lajosmizse - 04:37 Budapest-Zugló – Esztergom |
Kőbánya-Kispest – Budapest-Ferencváros [150] (44B2) HU08/3
East-west trains not calling at any of the Budapest terminal stations use this connecting line, avoiding Keleti station.
Since the closure of the terminal station Budapest Józsefváros at the December 2005 timetable change, this route is used by most table 150 trains.
Érd felső (Érd elagazas) – Tárnok [30a] (47B3) HU08/4
Use of this link between the Székesfehérvár and Sárbogárd lines relieves pathing pressure on the Budapest - Székesfehérvár line, which is only single track with passing places, compared to the Budapest - Sárbogárd line which is double track. This route is used by those table 30a trains that have a timing or | marking at Érd felső [use of black squares to signify the Érd station used has ceased], but it should be noted that punctuality can affect the route taken by non-stop trains.
Dombóvár avoiding line: Dombóvár alsó – Kaposszekcső or Csikóstőtős [40, 41, 50] (47A2) HU08/5
This west to south spur is used by trains between Kaposvár and Pécs or Bátasék which do not call at Dombóvár. The platforms at Dombóvár alsó are on the curve so trains which start/terminate/reverse here do not connect with the line towards Kaposvár.

| 9803 | Pécs - 17:27 Sásd – Szombathely |
Eger rendező [86] (43A1) HU08/6
The single line approaching Eger from the south splits significantly to serve a substantial goods yard [rendező] and offers bi-directional alternative routes of around 2km for arrivals and departures. The route via the goods yard and the south to west side of a triangle to join line 87 would appear to be used by the following service which crosses a southbound train, and which is booked to take an additional 3 minutes between Andomaktálya and Eger.
| 5520 | Füzesabony - 04:33 Andomaktálya – Eger |
Cegléd avoiding line: Ceglédi szállások – Abony [100, 140] (48A3) HU08/7
An east to south curve avoiding Cegléd.
| H | FO | 17605 | Szeged - 14:44 Nagykőrös – Záhony |
| H | SO | 16703 | Záhony - 19:44 Abony – Szeged |
Nyíregyháza NyK - Nyíregyháza depot [118, 119] (43B1not shown) HU08/8
The narrow-gauge line from Balsai Tisza-part and Dombrád continues for some 400-500 metres beyond Nyíregyháza NyK station to Nyíregyháza narrow-gauge depot. The depot appears to be available as an unofficial stop, with nominally empty stock movements in both directions carrying passengers.
Kőbánya felső - Rákos (via low level tracks) [80, 30] (44B2) HU08/9
This route is via low level tracks from the south side of Kőbánya felső station to the north side of Rákos station.
It is assumed the following trains use this route as they have advertised calls at Rákos. These services are shown in the printed timetable in Table 80 only, and are yet to be confirmed.
| E | 5609 | Miskolc - 08:13 Rákos – Balatonszentygyőrgy | |
| E | 5608 | Balatonszentygyőrgy – 17:19 Budapest-Ferencváros – Miskolc |
There are no known advertised workings, but most of the Rákos - Ferencváros unadvertised staff trains operate via this route (see HU08/10).
Budapest-Ferencváros - Kőbánya felső [80, 30] (44B2) HU08/10
An east - west link avoiding both Keleti and Józsefváros.
The following services are shown in the printed timetable in Table 80 only, and are yet to be confirmed.
| E | 5609 | Miskolc - 08:29 Kőbánya felső – Balatonszentygyőrgy | |
| E | 5608 | Balatonszentygyőrgy – 17:23 Budapest-Ferencváros – Miskolc |
