Going there can be by InterCity (IC) which are long-distance passenger train services in Europe and in Hungary, the Hungarian intercity trains are operated the Hungarian railway company, MAV-START. Depending on the routes, the frequencies are usually at every 2 or 3 hours. To Szombathely, Sopron or Gyor, it is every 4 hours.
