Station Szombathely, some minutes after arrival of train 4702/9115 from Graz on 2004-05-01.
Hordes of Austrian passengers are pouring from the station into the city.
Due to the Hungarian entry in the European Union many local trains between Austria and Hungary could be used free of charge on that and the following day.
Train 4702/9115 (Graz - Szombathely) which normally consists of 5 cars needed to be extended by further 4 cars at Fehring and carried about 500-600 passengers across the border.
Also the train in the other direction (in the morning from Szombathely to Graz, back in the afternoon) was full of Hungarians visiting Graz...
