A Kárpát-medence vasúthálózatának területi egyenlőtlenségei

The development of the railway network of the Carpathian Basin came to a halt after Trianon, the railway continued to operate separately in the detached parts of the nation. The important Hungarian-Hungarian connections were fragmented, and rail transport became difficult. The most spectacular railway lines from a landscape, environmental and technical point of view went beyond the state borders and the peripheries, respectively. The last decades have been characterized by the closure of railway sidings and the thinning of main line traffic, improvements have been made only in the European Union core network and in the agglomeration of capitals, and the minor lines with significant tourism potential have been maintained. The resulting network losses and backlogs have a very detrimental effect on the Hungarian-Hungarian relations of the continents, on the internal transport of the Hungarianinhabited regions and on the most beautiful places of pilgrimage and pilgrimage in the Carpathian Basin. An appropriate railway development strategy could contribute to the increase of the share of railway transport in the Carpathian Basin, to the development of quality and sustainable tourism and, indirectly, to the easier relocation and higher living standards of the Hungarian population
