<p>MÁV-START Zrt.: Hungary's first tram-train line was put into service on November 29, 2021 in Csongrád-Csanád County. Starting from the Szeged railway station and taking advantage of part of the city's tram network, the line continues towards Hódmezővásárhely on the Szeged–Békéscsaba railway line, with a last newly built tram section in this city. The service is operated by the Hungarian state railway company, although it is numbered within the Szeged network as line 1.<br />
<br />
The service is provided with a fleet of 12 dual tram-trains of the CityLink model, manufactured by Stadler Rail in Valencia (Spain) between 2021 and 2022 (series 406 001 to 012). On the tram sections they run in electric mode, powered at 600 V DC. On the railway section they run in diesel mode, for which they have two engine-alternator groups of 390 kW of power each. The maximum speed is 100 km/h.<br />
<br />
Here we see tram-train 406 009 (H-START 90 55 1406 009-4) about to arrive at the Anna-kút transport hub stop, working a service towards Hódmezővásárhely.</p>

<p>Szeged Közlekedesi Társaság (trademark of Szegedi Közlekedesi Kft.): tram numbers 911 and 950 leave from the Anna-kút stop, serving line 2 towards Szeged pályaudvar.<br />
<br />
The 911 is part of a series of 13 trams of the Tatra T6A2 model, build by ČKD in 1997 for the Szeged network (numbers 900 to 912).<br />
<br />
The 950 is a Tatra TB6A2, of which the Szeged network acquired four second-hand from the city of Rostock between 2007 and 2009 (series 950-953). The number 950 was built in 1989 for Rostock (type B6A2, number 805). In 1996 it was renumbered 906. Withdrawn from service in January 2005, it joined the Szeged network in November 2007.</p>

<br />
Szeged's Tatra KT4 tram fleet consists of 18 trams, all purchased second-hand from the German cities of Berlin, Cottbus and Potsdam.<br />
<br />
Tram 208 was built by ČKD in 1990 for Cottbus, numbered as 57. It was sold to Szeged in 2005.</p>

<p>The more traditional style statues don't always catch my eye, but this one of  Ignác Darány caught my eye because of the beautiful setting he was sitting in, facing the museum.<br />
<br />
<i>Statues of former Agriculture Minister Ignác Darányi and architect Ignác Alpár have recently been unveiled outside the Museum of Agriculture, currently celebrating its 125th anniversary. Darányi was its founder while Alpár designed the Disneyesque Vajdahunyad Castle where it sits, beside the pretty boating lake in City Park. This composite of castles from various eras and styles in Hungarian history was created for the Millennial celebrations in 1896, which began 125 years ago this May.</i> (From welovebudapest.com in 2021) I didn't take a photo of Ignac Alpar.</p>

<br />
Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the river Danube. The estimated population of the city in 2025 is 1,782,240. This includes the city's population and surrounding suburban areas, over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles). Budapest, which is both a city and municipality, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,019,479. It is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary.<br />
<br />
The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the region entered a new age of prosperity, with Pest-Buda becoming a global city after the unification of Buda, Óbuda and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the Battle of Budapest in 1945, as well as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.<br />
<br />
Budapest is a global city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Budapest is Hungary's financial centre. Budapest hosts the headquarters of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the European Police College and the first foreign office of the China Investment Promotion Agency. Over 40 colleges and universities are located in Budapest, including Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University, Semmelweis University, University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Opened in 1896, the city's subway system, the Budapest Metro, serves 1.27 million, while the Budapest Tram Network serves 1.08 million passengers daily.<br />
<br />
The central area of Budapest along the Danube is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has several notable monuments of classical architecture, including the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle. The city also has around 80 geothermal springs, the largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building in the world. Budapest attracts around 12 million international tourists per year, making it a highly popular destination in Europe.<br />

Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the river Danube. The estimated population of the city in 2025 is 1,782,240. This includes the city's population and surrounding suburban areas, over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles). Budapest, which is both a city and municipality, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,019,479. It is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary.<br />
<br />
The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the region entered a new age of prosperity, with Pest-Buda becoming a global city after the unification of Buda, Óbuda and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the Battle of Budapest in 1945, as well as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.<br />
<br />
Budapest is a global city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Budapest is Hungary's financial centre. Budapest hosts the headquarters of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the European Police College and the first foreign office of the China Investment Promotion Agency. Over 40 colleges and universities are located in Budapest, including Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University, Semmelweis University, University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Opened in 1896, the city's subway system, the Budapest Metro, serves 1.27 million, while the Budapest Tram Network serves 1.08 million passengers daily.<br />
<br />
The central area of Budapest along the Danube is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has several notable monuments of classical architecture, including the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle. The city also has around 80 geothermal springs, the largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building in the world. Budapest attracts around 12 million international tourists per year, making it a highly popular destination in Europe.<br />
