Ah, really helpful!!And, I did all my planning/reservations to date on the rail planner app, so hopefully we’re still good as far as Sighisoara 🤞 I will re-enter the journey plans on DB - awesome, thanks for that! And for the info about not being able to get to Niš by train - no more time getting spent trying to work that one out from now on!!🙏All the best ❤️
Thanks @rvdborgt for your replies! 🙏I’m still trying to find ways to reserve in advance (unsuccessfully 😩😉), but at least I am reserved (might get), as far as Sighisoara!Great idea about reserving the returns when we get to Europe/Romania/Bulgaria. We’re going to try getting buses from Sofia through to Sarajevo (possiby via Belgrade…), then up to Ljubljana (possibly via Split or Zagreb).Do you have any knowledge/top tips that might be helpful for this journey? I can’t seem to find which stations I can get through Serbia by train, which would be our preference (unless it’s a LOT longer than the bus)… eg. Niš doesn’t easily register as a station on the Eurail app, although I believe it is a valid route option…Much appreciation,Boundless (should I have made this a new thread?) 🫢
Wow, this is wonderful, thank you so much @rvdborgt !You’ve given me about 4 or 5 different options here. Looks like I can book Sighisoara to Bucuresti about 1 month in advance on the domestic site, and it’s only £16 for the couchette, which is cheaper than some of the supplements I’ve paid already!And perhaps I can get the return journey from Turkey once I’m in a European country (fingers crossed there’s still available 🤞).I have a question on routes/how to get to/via Balkan countries on the way back - should I start a new question/thread? Tapadh leibh (thank you in Scots Gaelic) 🙏
@rvdborgt in response to your question re Austria - Yes, we are booked from Vienna to Sighisoara on 22.8.I called ÖBB helpline, and they said they couldn’t help me…
Thanks for your prompt response @rvdborgt I’m trying to book:(1) 23.8.22 Sighisoara - Bucuresti Baneasa 22.56 - 05.05 (+1 day)(2) 26.8.22Bucuresti nord - Veiliko Tarnovo 10.45 - 17.44(3) 27.8.22Veiliko Tarnovo - Halkali17.45 - 05.34 (+1 day) We have 1st Class Global Passes, and would like either 1st double/twin or 2 beds in a 2, 3 or 4 berth room, for the overnight trains (1) and (3).And 1st class seat for day travel (2) Thanks for any help/suggestions you can offer 🙏
One of the options is:“Others ways to book this seat reservationBook in person at a main station in Europe”If I can find someone willing, would it be allowable for someone who *is* in Europe to reserve our beds/seats, with our (disabled passenger and assistant), Global pass ticket numbers?
