Following last night's events, the number of refugees remaining at Keleti is in the low hundreds, compared to the 2-3,000 earlier in the week. Part of the subterranean level has been cleared.

International train services are gradually getting back to normal. Trains to/from Bratislava and Prague seem to be operating almost as usual, but Railjets to/from Vienna are not back to the normal schedule yet. The 17:10 Railjet to Vienna and Salzburg was replaced by a fast train to Hegyeshalom, making the same stops, and connecting with the Railjet there. Quite a few refugees caught this train, although it was by no means full. Then soon after, a couple of hundred refugees started the long walk – presumably because they had no money for the train ticket.

The police presence on the station this afternoon was minimal, and there were no ticket or ID controls on the platforms. Everything was very orderly.
