Xinhua, September 5, 2015 Adjust font size:

The first batch of refugees coming by train from Hungary via Austria have arrived at Munich central station at noon time on Saturday, with more expected to come later in the day.

The special train drove in at about 13:30 local time and stopped at the No. 27 platform. Meanwhile, another train of German railway company Deutsche Bahn had already waited at the opposite platform.

After debarking from the special train, refugees were instructed by police directly to the waiting train, which is said to drive to a first reception center, 3 km west of the central station. Endit
