Wow. I'd love them to keep it.

This seem a bit insane as usually there are well under a dozen of people cuing up at ether of stations. And taking into account the guys behind a desk will spend 10-15 min to give you a ticket it should be quite a nightmare.

Anyway, Hungarian railways (in terms of quality / being modern) are way into the future comparing to other Central EU. Love to travel with them but Austrian are even better ;)
