Travel plans, routes and timetables / Booking sleeper, Beograd-Bar (and return)
« on: September 05, 2013, 04:45:10 pm »
This about train D433, from Beograd to Bar. The train is shown to carry 2nd class seats, couchettes, and sleepers, and reservations are required.
The trouble is getting them. The Man in Seat 61 says "The Serbian Railways reservation system is linked to the western European railway computer reservation systems, so seat, couchette or sleeper reservations can be made on domestic or international trains starting in Belgrade from most reservation offices or train booking agencies across Europe, including UK European rail booking agencies.".
Having a DB booking terminal here on my desk, connected to EPA, I cannot book this train. Using station 7216050 for Beograd, and 6281081 for Bar (CG) (alternatively using 6200178 as suggested by Wasteels in Budapest), I get :
(using 6281081): Train 433: 7889: Kode-Nr. des Ausstiegsbahnhofs falsch. EP0613
(using 6200178): Train 433: 7850: Zug und Strecke passen nicht zusanmen. EP0510
Any ideas? I'm thinking either one of the station numbers is wrong, or the train is under some other number.
