What extra charge is there for reserving the Bucharest-Istanbul train when you hold an Interrail Pass. Also, it seems like one can buy tickets for this train using the Romanian State Railway Company’s website, but not sure if you can use the Interrail Pass on this website? Does anyone know?

It is actually not even a train, but just 1 car shunted from train 1 to 2 to 3 on the way-and takes an awful long time, nearly double that of a direct bus.

It is said to be a couchette so you need to pay the suppltm for that (dk exact-should be between 10-20€. Maybe its listed on the general overview for RES-click on help above.

It should be still around 14 euro. I read a report few weeks ago where a guy paid 70 RON for it…
