Proposal for a comprehensive study on the development of the railway network
Abstract
Among the backlogs accumulated on the Hungarian railways over several decades, it is mainly the technical ones that are currently being filled, while the development of connections between the settlements within the network is only at the beginning. To be able to look at least 30 to 40 years ahead, it is advisable to analyse the history of the development of the
Hungarian railway network, including the interrelations between settlements, economy, technology, society, etc., without neglecting the international perspective, also in comparison with certain European countries. This article aims to draw attention to the importance of this task, using a few examples.
