Route

The line runs roughly east–west between Tatabánya and Pápa. In Tatabánya, the line diverges from the Budapest–Hegyeshalom railway line west of the Tatabánya railway station. In Környe, 7.6 kilometres (4.7 mi) from Tatabánya, the Környe–Oroszlány railway line veers off to the south to serve Oroszlány. Electrification ends at this point, and there is no passenger service beyond Környe. The line connects with the Székesfehérvár–Komárom railway line in Kisbér, the Győr–Veszprém railway line in Veszprémvarsány, and the Győr–Celldömölk railway line and Pápa–Csorna railway lines in Pápa.[1]
