Currently there is no train as Turkey and Bulgaria suspended the train Sofia - Istanbul until further notice :/ (this includes the seasonal ThroughCoach from Bucharest to Istanbul)

I´ am not working for Eurail or Interrail i just share my knowledge here. Please ask in the Community and not via private message as this is the fastest way to get an answer. I prefer English/German/ Czech for my answers. In case of Reservationquestions please share some details like Route, Date, Trainnumber as otherwise we can just provide general advices or answers

Hello, I have the same plan for next year (going to Istanbul from France) . Do you have any idea when the train to Istanbul will work again? 

Thank you, Juliette

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
