Hello 

I have to make this journey at the end of July. I was wondering about the availability of tickets for train 1136.

I will be in Budapest about 2 weeks before I take the train - can I buy a single ticket there do you think? Any idea of price for sleeper of couchette?

Plan B, if the Hungarian through carriages are sold out, is to take the same train but just travel in the Serbian couchette to Novi Sad (then take train to Subotica). Can I buy single ticket Podgorica - Novi Sad from the station in Belgrade? Or do I need to wait and buy it in Montenegro (risky, I think)

In not then plan C is... well that's something to think about

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for late reply, kind of on the road right now

Yes, however ticket fare when bought in Hungary will be couple times higher compared to the same Podgorica-Subotica ticket bought in Serbia or Montenegro (should be about 25 euro there). Perhaps makes sense to ask for couchette/sleeper reservation only (9,40 euro for 6 bed couchette, 15,40 euro for 3 bed sleeper or 23,10 euro for double sleeper) and then just purchase ticket part when you already in Montenegro

Sure, in Belgrade (or any other Serbian station) you would easily buy such ticket. Sleeper reservations in Serbian carriages cost 6 euro (6 bed couchette), 15 euro (3 bed sleeper) or 20 euro (double sleeper)

Well, as was said above, might make sense to ensure purchase of reservation and don't worry about ticket part until you get to SRB/MNT. Or, if those Hungarian carriages are in EPA system, then you don't even need to hunt for it in Hungary, but try buying it elsewhere with access (e.g. Slovakia), no guarantees here, but worth a try

Thanks for info. I will try in Bratislava for a reservation but I don't think it will be possible. I have a feeling they don't even sell only tickets in Serbia anyway for the Belgrade - Bar line and it must be ticket and compulsory reservation together. But I'll see...

Happy and safe travels!

If there is no extra hassle or much lost time, then why not to ask

It's 100% that you can purchase only ticket, since it's not global price tariff. Even if cashier asks you can always show already bought reservation. Problems usually happen other way around, because in some countries it's tricky/impossible to purchase sleeper reservation without buying (or showing already bought) ticket
