'Thousands' of refugees arrive in Munich station

Up to 2,000 refugees arrived in Munich by train on Tuesday morning after Hungarian authorities allowed them to leave Budapest and travel to Germany via Austria.

Hungarian authorities on Monday ended a police blockade that stopped people without an EU visa from boarding trains heading towards Austria and Germany from Budapest.

The move appears to be a fit of pique by Hungarian authorities after Germany last week effectively suspended for Syrians an EU rule calling for refugees to be processed in the first EU country they enter.

Munich police said that anyone wanting to help with.jpgts of food,water, baby food, nappies or other supplies was welcome and should drop them at the station's north entrance, the Münchener Merkur reported.
