  The spatial distribution of the railway crossings on the river Danube in
Hungary is very uneven. There is only one electrified and double-tracked bridge
in the country, the Southern Railway Bridge in Budapest. The \'Ujpest bridge in
Budapest only provides connection through line 4 which is not electrified and
the Baja bridge is not electrified, too, and both of them are single-tracked.
The long-planned V0 railway line that is to be cross the Danube approximately
halfway between Budapest and Baja would not only help to redistribute the total
network flow which currently passes through almost exclusively the Southern
bridge but would also provide redundancy for the existing bridges in the case
of their disruption. Four of the five proposed V0 path alternatives are
analyzed on the basis of these two network properties.
