Hundreds of men, women and children have spent the last two days camping outside Keleti station, waiting to get onward rail connections to Western Europe, primarily Germany.
Local trains are heading to towns near the border with Austria.
One train has reportedly stopped at Bitske, where there is a migrant reception facility.
