The Szeged-Hódmezővásárhely Tram-train is a tram-train system in Hungary between two of the most important cities of Csongrád-Csanád County, Szeged (the county seat) and Hódmezővásárhely (a city with county rights). Construction began on 4 April 2018, and it was inaugurated on 29 November 2021.
The Hungarian State Railways MÁV-Start ordered 12 trains for the Tram-train line between Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely. The first Stadler Citylink (as Hungarian Class 406 001) was delivered in January of 2021, and the testing of the 3-car units began in early March on the freshly rebuilt line between the two cities. The Tram-train service was opened in the end of November of 2021.
A tram-train is a type of light rail vehicle that meets the standards of a light rail system (usually an urban street running tramway), but which also meets national mainline standards permitting operation alongside mainline trains. This allows services that can utilise both existing urban light rail systems and mainline railway networks & stations. It combines the urban accessibility of a tram or light rail with a mainline train's greater speed in the suburbs,
