Refugee crisis: Austria halts train traffic from Hungary due to ‘massive overburdening’

“We need to temporarily suspend the operation of trains to and from Hungary due to the massive congestion…until further notice, no tickets [are] available,” Austrian Federal Railways wrote on its website.

It added that a rail replacement bus service is in effect, along with regular buses.

It comes just one day after train services between Denmark and Germany were stopped because of exceptional passport checks at the border. 

Limits on train traffic for Denmark-Germany route still remain, though a motorway connecting the Danish peninsula Jutland to Germany reopened on Thursday, according to Danish authorities. 

Europe is currently facing the worst refugee crisis since World War II, with 380,000 people estimated to have arrived within its borders this year alone.
