After Googling the above questions a bunch of times, I have come up with some very helpful answers from this site, but they are all dated over a year ago, so I figured I would ask directly to see if there have been any updates.
I'm planning to take the night train from Krakow to Budapest on May 31, 2012. I have emailed the Pol Rail service (which I found out though this forum is an agency) and they have told me that they can sell me a ticket in a month or so. The prices that are listed on its website seem VERY high. They list a private berth for 808 PLN and a triple compartment for 460 PLN. Should I bother buying with these people or wait to buy the ticket in Krakow when I arrive there on May 28? Would I be able to get a cheaper rate for a bed in a triple compartment if I buy at the Krakow train station 2 days before my departure?
Which compartment is it better to book as a single traveler? I can't afford the single berth, so it will either be the triple or the double. The double is listed as 493 PLN versus the triple at 460 PLN. The triple is only 2 PLN more that the 4 person couchette, and I think the triple comes with coffee and some kind of breakfast in the morning. So the question then is, is it worth the 33 PLN extra to get a double rather than a triple?
Also want to add that I will be in Berlin beginning May 25, 2012. Is it possible for me to buy the Krakow-Budapest ticket while in Berlin prior to my May 28th arrive to Krakow?
