Hundreds of migrants stranded in Budapest - in pictures
Photos showed men and women, some with young children, waving their tickets in the air outside the station as they chanted "Germany, Germany"
Hundreds of migrants are stranded in Budapest after Hungarian police stopped trains leaving for Austria and Germany in a bid to stop them travelling onwards.
Authorities reportedly halted westbound departures from Keleti station for more than an hour, with an announcement over its loudspeakers saying that the measure would be in effect for an undetermined period of time.
Hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers were ordered to leave the building, including many who had spent hundreds of euros on tickets.
