The station first opened in 1861 on the line toward Rijeka. It suffered significant damage in the Second World War. The metro station beneath it opened in 1972, and the modern facade was completed in 1975. The article names no architect, client or materials, and gives no style. It calls the facade the only modern building among all of Budapest's major rail terminals.
All tracks terminate at the station, which has 12 tracks, five island platforms and two side platforms. The article does not state a building size or heritage status.
It is one of Budapest's three main railway stations and mainly serves Transdanubia. It is the western terminus of metro line M2, and trams and buses connect it to adjoining districts. Plans exist for a cross-city tunnel linking it with Budapest-Nyugati, which the article does not say has been built.
