On Monday, János Lázár, the head of the construction and transport ministry, said that the ministry is coordinating the revamp of ten busy railway stations.
Lázár said in a Facebook video that Debrecen railway station will be rebuilt with private capital as part of the scheme.
Commercial functions are being hived off from railway purposes and handed over to private capital, he said, noting plans to create a shopping mall with a railway point of arrival.
Tenders are open to private capital for projects in Debrecen, eastern Hungary, Győr, in the west, and Szeged, in the south of the country.

Can somebody–ANYbody–renovate Deli, please? It looks and feels like an absolute dump that even hobos find beneath them to sojourn at.
As a resident of one of tge cities to be affected, I’m not sure I’m overjoyed at the prospect of the quite probably years of disruption that station rebuilding will involved. Are they sure they can find enough skilled workers dedicated to this one job? Will they be planning to rebuild them all at the same time? Has this enormous project been thought through properly?
