MÁV

IC+

In 2018, ...

Because V43 locomotives are unreliable and have only 2200 kW of traction power, instead of increasing the number of carriages from ~6 to 12, MÁV ran an extra train (S 16290) on 21 December just 5 minutes after IC 606. The operating time of the InterCity service was also extended until 20:23 with the new IC 628.

Press release

IC 628 was kept in the timetable permanently for Fridays and Sundays and runs ever since.

I've also had an interview with György Baló^†:
