I don’t know if any Hungarians who have read Dracula caught this, but in the very first few pages Jonathan writes: It seems to me that the further east you go the more unpunctual are the trains.

He says this in Transylvania in 1897. That means that the last train he took was a Hungarian one. MÁV was established in 1876. Jonathan took MÁV and it was late.

MÁV was mention-worthyly late even in 1897.
