<p>We'd used the Lines 1 and 2 to get to Keleti Station only to find it closed, so we had to take Line 4 to Kelenfold Railway Station for our day trip to Vienna.  Here are a few photos from the train on Line 4 - you can see it's much more modern than the Line 2.<br />
 One thing I noticed about the Metro, which I wasn't very keen on, was the speed of the escalators down and up - they were noticeably fast and we had to jump on them quickly as they moved away from our feet!  My balance isn't so great these days, so inside my head I did a countdown each time! It seemed to work and no accidents occurred!</p>

<p>Hungary was under communist control until the late 1980s. Efforts to restore buildings to original look are actively happening all over the city.</p>

<p>The winter has arrived with a big amount of snow on 23rd november to Hungary. <br />
<br />
In the Bakony, there was really big snow so I visited there that day. The railway line no. 11, (Győr - Veszprém) is curving trough this spectecular part of the country, so I was able to take some fascinating (in my opinion) photos of diesel trains with snowy forest. <br />
<br />
In this picture, the 478 205 is running towards Győr from Veszprém with a pessenger service.</p>
