tUt thank you soo much for all the detailed responses! Zilina prague sparNight and boarding from CT is not possible as i also emailed Zssk and they said sparNight folks need to occupy/be on seat latest within 15 mins of train departure! so thats a bummer! Now i am contemplating two ways, kindly advice me which is cheaper and better (ie hassle free), option 1: Bus from Krakow to Cieszyn + Buying sporotiket CT to Praha on R440 Excelsior: the qs i have is how frequesnt is the krakow cieszyn bus, how long does it take? and how much it costs? as for buying sleeper at CT ticket office i cannot do that as i aim to reach CT by 2200 hrs for catching the 2238 train, i emailed the CD folks they told me that sleeper reservation for this route from ticketing office can only be done till 1600 hrs that day, after that i can only buy it from conductor on train IF there is availability!!! do you think will i be able to get sleeper/couchette for 2 ppl on train itself? Is there a good probability that it might be all sold out??? Further this train reaches praha hl.n. at 0344 hrs and departs at 0519 hrs, do you think we cud just sleep till 0500 hrs on the train and then get down???  option 2: we take the night train from krakow itself D402 how much will that cost if i bought krakow zebrezydowice online then at krakow train station bought zebrezydowice bohumin ticket plus krakow prague sleeper ticket and again online bought bohumin praha ticket?? will the ticket counter in krakow just sell me zebrezydowice bohumin ticket and prahow prague sleeping supplement? On a seperate note, will u be able to advice me on the schedule of krakow glowny to wieliczka saltmines train schedule? after stopping at osciewin for the auschwitz camps we want to reach krakow glowny and take the next train to saltmines so that we could do both in one day! a prior schedule info would be handy! Thanks a zillion for all the info !!!

the case is rather sensitive, thus probably best thing for you to do is simply email MAV directly (they tend to answer emails) and ask whether you can board the train on a later station then Budapest with ticket from Budapest. Though don't mention Bratislava, but better just formulate it as 'later station'. MAV might even advise you how you can inform (if it is necessary) about later boarding.
As per your advice above i did email the MAV directly and this is the response i got: Dear Passenger, Thank you for your inquiry! We would like to inform you that the purchased tickets are valid for the 29th of September, from Budapest to Krakow. The train leaves from Budapest-Keleti station at 20:05 and it arrives to Krakow Glowny station at 07:14 in the next morning. The SparNight ticket is a discount offer, which is valid only from Budapest, so you must take the train from Budapest-Keleti station, you cannot get on the train later. Best regards, So it looks like i ll have to be in budapest to board this train! which means i ll just do a day trip to bratislava from budapest and get back to budapest to take the train!....its silly and it means i ll have to spend an extra 7euros from bratislava to budapest....but dont think i have an option

hey guys! back again stuck with another query!.....okie so i have booked the overnight train from Budapest keleti to krakow glowny, just wanted to ask if the train stops at Oswiecim (Auschwitz) arnd 4:50 am? and the time is enough for us to get down? We are in krakow only for 2 days and want to make the most of our time, so instead of going all the way to krakow and coming all the way back, we thought we might just get down at Auschwitz?? Also, would any one have an idea if Oswiecim train station has a luggage storage room or something? The next question i have is regarding the Krakow-Praha leg, again i was looking at taking a night train, is it possible to buy the train tickets in advance? or do i take the bus from Krakow to Cieszyn, then go to cesky tesin and board the night train to praha from there? In that case do i buy the night sleeper from Zilina to praha under the spar scheme? but then will i be able to board from cesky tesin if i booked my train from Zilina? Please advice on the best way from Krakow to Praha  cheers

Thanks again for the awesome response! Okie so I kept the instructions on how to book through MAV website in front of me and booked through the MAV website. Two train tickets under the Spar scheme (39 Euro) from Budapest Keleti to Krakow Glowny. I did exactly as mentioned on this website, step by step. Double checked the chosen train, price etc and was able to book the tickets and generate the 10 digit code! BUT on the final confirmation page after payment and in the email that MAV website sent me, the departure from Budapest Keleti is 09:29!!!!! I am worried sick now, have i booked the wrong train? though it cant be true because, only for this one over night train the spar offer was available and i double checked the timings route etc. Pasted below is the information i got in my email: Budapest-Keleti - Krakow Glowny 1 db menetjegy SparNight egyúti 2. osztály Vonat: 10476 Kocsiszám: 361 Hely(ek): 65 Indulás: BUDAPEST KELETI 09.29 Ár: 10 920 Ft (39 €) 1 db menetjegy SparNight egyúti 2. osztály Vonat: 10476 Kocsiszám: 361 Hely(ek): 66 Indulás: BUDAPEST KELETI 09.29 Ár: 10 920 Ft (39 €) Could this be a typo? what do I do? I have emailed the MAV people! still waiting for their response would you guys have any idea?

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! The spar ticket which i am getting from budapest to krakow is currently 39 Euros for a bed in 6 bed couchette, do you think i should be able to get it cheaper than this if i bought bratislava - bohumin and bohumin - krakow? I checked both ZSSR and CD websites but i cannot find an option to buy the tickets for bratislava-bohumin or bohumin - krakow leg online! Any info why?? Since i am any ways arriving in budapest first and spending good 3 days there, after which i travel to vienna and then to bratislava and finally krakow (from bratislava), wudnt i be fine buying the budapest-krakow ticket online right now and printing them in budapest train station (which i believe can be done any time, or it has to be printed on the same day of travel only??), and then i board the train from bratislava? Sorry for my ignorance but, i hope they do not apply a no show kinda thing in European trains and give the berth to someone else if i dont board from budapest! why i ask this is coz i am from india and here if u bought a ticket from A to B, you got to board the train at station A, unless u specifically mentioned a station from where u will board the train at the time of booking!!! Checked the Vienna - krakow night train as well, again the fare is 39 Euros at the moment, however on the OBB site it says seat in 2nd class, does that mean a full berth? or there is an extra sleeping supplement? and if so, how do i buy that? Thanks

Hi there! i am looking to book the night train from Bratislava to Krakow, i believe that train originates from Budapest Keleti going to Krakow. Can someone advice me how to book tickets for bratislava krakow leg? Looking at the Spar ticket, Slovak Rail site only gives info on train times etc but doesnt show option to buy. Hungarian rail site gives an option to buy only from Budapest - Krakow. Can i do something like buying the ticket from Budapest to Krakow, but board it at bratislava? is it allowed? Thanks
