Can't book reservation Bucharest-Istanbul

J
Forum|alt.badge.img

As I can’t make a reservation for the Bucharest Istanbul train online, and yet would like to avoid any potential disasters as I am travelling with my panicky father, would there be any way for someone to make the reservation for us at Bucharest train station/is there any way at all that I can make the reservation in advance: We will only be arriving in Bucharest a couple of hours before taking the train, so that’s why there could be a problem.

 

In any case, how full would the train be likely to be in September?

 

Thanks

In September main season is over, so likely there are gonna be maybe around 10 travellers in the best case in your waggon (if there is not a huge group traveling). Should be possible to get a reservation just after arrival at the international ticket office in Bucharest. Of course no 100% guarantee, but to 98% it will work.

Youd better first check the final=last day as it runs only summerseason.

All reports till now always tell its perhaps only half full. BUT as of yesterday (but I think the SOF portion) was said to be full.

AND double check -as I assume you´ll come from Budapest?-the then situation for Trains HU->RO, as there are works planned-quite long time-on at least 1 of the 2 major routes.
