But the train soon stopped at the small town of Bicske 30 miles down the line where police were waiting.
"Refugees
now being cleared from train one carriage at a time. Being corralled

Reuters reported that the migrants banged on the windows and shouted: “No camp, no camp”.
Police tried to clear the train by carriages, 100 people or so at a
