- The Budapest and Belgrade railway, which is being funded by China's Belt and Road Initiative, has reached a new milestone.
It is currently set to be completed in 2025.

Something is a miss here. The way I know, the Budapest -Belgrade route is only a portion of the economically much more important Thessaloniki - Belgrade - Budapest railway route. This needs to be both high speed as well as high tonnage line. Although a double rail line is already a significant improvement, I'd like to see a third, or even a fourth track laid down, so the high speed passenger trains and the heavy freight traffic could travel simultaneously.
On hourly traffic, you only need a passing possibility every 60 Minutes distance, not a full new empty dedicated track.
@@holger_p Thank you, You are of course right. A third track then as a compromise, all the way to Thessaloniki?
@@wotan20 Depends on the expected Cargo. For now I would say keep the space for a third track, build wider bridges supporting a third track, etc.
@@holger_p Well, I expect robust cargo traffic, but if cautionary approach is wished, so be it.
@@wotan20 In 10 hours train distance you can reach Vienna and Warsaw from Hamburg. That's probably not a target.
So it depends on the development of Hungaria, Romania, Serbia, how much cargo is involveld. Right now even traffic form Ukraine passes to Greece.
But the huge container ships from Suez could also go to Constantia and Varna for this area. And from there, you could take a river boat to go up the danube to Budapest, with the capacity of a full train... in lower speed.
So there are several paths.
We will see, who wins in the price/speed-contest.
Hi, grammar mistake!! The Budapest-Belgrade railway is currently is on track for completion in 2025. There are two "is" in the sentence
Flaunting your education❤😂
Can you write that in Chinese and to be grammatically correct? 🙂
Thanks and we just fixed!!
I was on this line back in 2016. It was severely bumpy, and we barely cracked 20 MPH. I'm glad they're finally redoing it.
❤👍👍👍👍
The US offered to place Norfolk Southern in the region, in which case they wouldn't need any tracks since the train would off of them most of the time, anyway.
Wow
congrats guys, czech people only see this with tears in eyes :D
Yes!
If this railway extend southwards to Greece, then it will bring more import and export to both Serbia and Hungary 🇨🇳🇷🇸🇭🇺
A win win win cooperation!
Thats the ultimate plan, to have a high speed railway from Instanbul to Vienna
They are building the north macedonia piece ,the greece part iS finished
The rail infrastructure on the Balkan is way behind and since the breakup of Yugoslavia international connections have declined. Some countries are now actually making some improvements. Slovenia too, I've seen a few upgraded lines and new trains. But in many other relations there's huge potential for upgrade. For example, going from Slovenia via Croatia to Serbia: It's possible but slow and frustrating. In and out of Bosnia: Actually impossible because there are no international trains, I'm not sure if they have any plans or totally given up. Albania, same story, I guess they have occasional trains with old Czech locomotives and used German rolling stock, but nothing across the border.
To Greece: Only something for absolute rail nerds. (It seems like things inside Greece are improving some, with used Pendolini from Italy, but again the international connections leave a lot to be desired.)
With trans-european corridors there's a potential for things to improve, but in the end the support of local governments is required and in a lot of countries it doesn't look like railways play much of a role in the transport sector.
There is not needs for inter railways in Albania from serbia or Hungary

This will make US mentally sick and act like zombie........!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How exactly will it? Western Europe has been equipped with 320 km/h railways all throughout the continent for decades
why ?? Trains are better than planes go fast from budapest to thessaloniki is good
标题里多了个is
Thanks
No highways, thanks
China must have a sea port connection to Serbia via Montenegro to flow cheap goods to Balkans and Central Europe❤
De nada servirá que los productos chinos lleguen a Serbia si luego es difícil que salgan al resto de Europa porque no se tienen buenas relaciones.
Montenegro ports are not as lucrative, nor is Montenegro ready to modernize its railway infrastructure (they dont even have modernized highways). Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece have modernized highways and soon railway connections all the way from Budapest through corridor X to Thessaloniki port.
How many cheap Chinese goods do you have at home? China makes affordable goods for the whole world. Everyone benefits.
@@waterloo2012 And if they stop producing, the entire world is on hold. Using their products is OK, depending on them is not.
Nice Chinese propaganda there
The West has no propaganda ?, don't be ridiculous.
Actually believe it or not its true xD At first in Serbia we used to laugh when they anounsed bullet train in 2017 i think but now we have one line from Belgrade to Novi Sad ( Serbias second largest city ) that takes less than half an hour. It is still unbelievable to think that Serbia has fastest train in Europe and even more modern than western Europe
@@Komentariram nemoj da preterujes, francuska ima najbrze vozove, tu je i italija pa i cela zapadna evropa
srbija je tek pocela da gradi brze pruge
@@ZoranJovic-li2ee Podatak je lako proverljiv. Nasi su najbrzi, vec ovi koje imamo. A novi koji su sad stigli su pravi bullet i tako izgledaju.
@@Komentariram nije poenta u vozu i kako on izgleda, već u pruzi, ova naša je za 200 km/h, to je super, ali nije najbrža u Evropi, ne preteruj. Zbog veličine zemlje, ne treba nam brže, ovo je svemirski iskorak.
Well done Hungary and stay strong!
The rest of Europe is extremely jealous...
