Introduction
This list is based on the timetable dated from 09 December 2012 to 14 December 2013, unless otherwise stated. The additional map references - prefixed by 'ERA1' - refer to the European Railway Atlas 2008 (M.G.Ball; published by European Railway Atlas).
Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. The MAV timetable contains a number of non-standard notes; for details see General_Information - Additional Notes on reading the Timetable.
Obscure services
Almásfüzitő avoiding line: Tata – Almásfüzitő felső
[1] (42A1 not shown, ERA1 96B4 not shown) HU13/1
Almásfüzitő station is on a loop separated from the main line by some sidings. The avoiding line is used by trains not calling at Almásfüzitő station.
Érd felső (Érd elagazas) – Tárnok
[30a] (47B3 not shown, ERA1 99C4-3) HU13/2
Use of this link between the Székesfehérvár and Sárbogárd lines relieves pathing pressure on the Budapest - Székesfehérvár line, which is only single track with passing places, compared to the Budapest - Sárbogárd line which is double track. This route is used by those table 30a trains that have a timing or | marking at Érd felső, but it should be noted that punctuality can affect the route taken by non-stop trains.
Engineering work on the table 30a route via Erd alsó means that all trains between Budapest and Székesfehérvár are running via this route during October - December 2012 - see under http://www.mav.hu/utasok.php#30.
Dombóvár avoiding line: Dombóvár alsó – Kaposszekcsős
[40, 41] (47A2, ERA1 97B3) HU13/3
This west to south spur is used by trains between Kaposvár and Pécs which do not call at Dombóvár. The platforms at Dombóvár alsó are on the curve so trains which start/terminate/reverse here do not connect with the line towards Kaposvár.

Eger-Rendező: Eger-Rendező elágazás – Eger-Rendező – Eger
[87a] (43A1 not shown, ERA1 98B2) HU13/4
