Refugees idle around at the train station

MEE's Mary Atkinson reports from Hungary:

A group of around 15 migrants have just arrived from the camp around 10km away, hoping to catch the train to Budapest in two hours. Volunteers are passing around bananas and water. A group of police are standing about 10 metres away. The volunteers here expect many more groups of people to arrive from the nearby camp in the next few hours. With news that the Austrian authorities have decided not to close their border with Hungary after all, those arriving here tonight stand a better chance of managing to continue their journey westwards.
