The Békéscsaba-Lőkösháza railway line in Hungary has become significantly more expensive than originally planned. Officials found a new way to justify cost overruns.

Although MÁV renovated a few train tracks, delays in train traffic has not been fixed. In fact, trains are now running slower on the newly renovated tracks.

38 percent of MÁV's "new" - 20 years old - Siemens trains are out of operation due to a lack of spare parts.
