Hi,

I'm trying to book a trip from Budapest to Videle, but the only option is to be sent by post. And when I try to book it says that ghd simulation don't think I can receive the tickets on time (eventhough it's for early August, so in more than a month), so I can't book. Also not working when I choose an expedition directly to Budapest.

Any idea?
Thanks

Videle is near Bucuresti.

Just buy the reservation at the station (international ticket office) in Budapest. Won’t be a problem in 99% of the cases.

Regarding the delivery time, it is about 2 months at the moment due to high demand for paper reservations and paper passes.

Overworked and unstaffed. ALL transport systems anywhere in EUR have enormous shortage of staff. Also not helped by the ridiculous all-we-do-it-different IT systems of the dozens of modernising railways-and often faulty too. Juniors should learn to think backward and out of their pre-set allonthefone box.

Where is Videle? I think there are no direct trains from Bp anyway-if its (maybe misspelled) name of HU town-then do not evenn worry-just do when there on a yellow MAV machine-only needed for real IC trains-and its less as 1€ in HUF.

Acc to wiki its a RO town of maybe 10k people-check again if it does have a direct train from Bp-and if yes-or to nearby other stop-do it when in Bp-on arrival go to the special counter in keleti-they are very well used to that. Note that 1 of the 2 major raillines HU-RO is out of use due to long overdue works (travaux nëcessaires) on the tracks. If you even plan to travel further-its also all only locally at counter.
