Thank you for all your help. For anyone trying to reserve seats on French services I phoned 0033184943635 and pressed #85 for an English coustomer service representitive. The man I spoke to was SO helpful and everything was booked in about 10 minutes.
Thank you for your advice!
It seems CFR is now got so extremely modern there is a way to REServe only-for domestic (the usual way is not to fear so much and do it local at counter=the old fashioned way of doing things). Yes, at very busy days the few cars that are shunted into the main Sofia overnight can get all taken-but chances that this happens week ahead are 0. All reports till now all tell that people were easily getting space on the day or a very few days ahead. Is it for an immediate transfer from a train from Bp in HU? IF you stay the odd day in ROmania, then leave it till then. {PLus do now that out of IST by train this is also the only way-and it only runs summertime. We will be spending 2 nights and the day in-between in Bucharest. We have reservations on an overnight Vienna to Bucharest train departing on July 16 and arriving on July 17. We are hoping to take the train from Bucharest to Istanbul on July 19 (arriving in Istanbul on July 20). So you think we’ll be able to just buy the tick
