Budapest's east-west metro line connects two of the city's major railway stations, Déli pályaudvar (South station) and Keleti pályaudvar (East station). Line M2 runs on the surface between Pillangó utca and the eastern terminus Örs vezér tere. Although construction had started already in the 1950s, this line was only opened between 1970 and 1972. It was built at a significant depth between Déli pályaudvar and Keleti pályaudvar. The only sub-surface station is P. F. Stadion. In 2003-2007, line M2 was completed refurbished and modernised.
