Hello,
Sorry for refreshing the old topic, but the system seems not to work. For any travel date with Praha-Budapest EN 477 the system says there are no seats available. Beds and couchettes work. High price for seats from Praha Holesovice (but not Praha Hl Nad) as well. Can you confirm/give me a solution?
Filip.

Hi,
Is it possible to buy the Balkan Pass out of the Balkan countries? (2nd class)
I think there is a Wasteels office at the Budapest Keleti station. Can they sell it there?
There is usually not enough time in Subotica to get out of the train and buy it there so I'd have to buy the ticket all the way to Belgrade (whereas I could use the Pass already on Subotica-Belgrade).
Filip.

Well, de-facto "Wiener Walzer" is priced globalpreis in terms of SBB-OeBB/MAV, while "Imre Kalman" not listed just as globapreis, it's a "mix" with fares given both as "Aufpreiszug MAV - DB" and "Globalpreis Erwachsene"
I'm sorry but it's not clear to me ... Logically thinking I see I can use both of them as they simply don't require reservation (at least between Salzburg and Budapest), but all this aufpreis/globalpreis/supplement information looks scary :-) EN463 says "Global price or ticket plus supplement" so it seems I need some sort of supplement... (even though there is no "subject to compulsory reservation" notice) Does it concern only sleepers? EN467 I also see that it is reservation-free, but your statement about the aufpreis sounds contrary...

Hi,
Soon I will travel with a Europa-Special Connection from Kehl to Budapest two way. This is what is written on my ticket:
H: <1080>(07.05.2013)NV*FR-Hbf 17:30 BUS42111/M-Ha.Br*NV*(08.05.2013) Salzbur 7:02 RJ49
R: <1080>(12.05.2013)NV*(13.05.2013)KA-Hbf 5:42 IC60458/Offenbg*NV
VIA: Salzburg<1181>Purkersdorf-Sana.*Wien*Kledering*Hegyeshalom(Gr)<1155>Gyoer
I understad that the "zugbinding" works only in Germany and once I cross the border I may take virtually any train according to the VIA section. My timetable suggests Railjet from Salzburg to Budapest both ways. However, I on my way 'there' I arrive in Salzburg at 0:42 (RE from Munich) so I wouldn't like to wait overnight, but move onwards with EN to Budapest at 2am or 4am to Budapest, or at least with the early morning IC train o VIenna (to sleep in a train and not in the city). At least that was my intention when I was buying the ticket but ...
1. "Salzbur 7:02 RJ49" - that means even in Austria I am 'binded' to the morning Railjet? I've never seen it before for connections abroad... It's a first time I see it !! (nothing like that on the return ticket)
2. If for some reasons I am not binded in Austria, can I use any of the EN trains to arrive in Budapest earlier? I don't see reservation obligation for both EN trains... (at least not in Austria and Hungary). It's only the one at 2am which is globally priced.

I can't find price info on Beograd-Sofia connection (return)
I have a BC25 card with RAILPLUS.
Will it be cheaper to buy direct return Beograd-Sofia or two return Beograd-Nis and Beograd-Sofia (the second one seems cheaper comparing ZS and jizdenka-50%(SET)).
It is important for me that I can make stopovers as I plan to visit Nis and Pirot on my way.

Yep I understand, it's just stupid that they don't say it explicitly but show 'no seats available' message instead.
Thanks a lot !!

Ah thanks, the system works only for tickets from Praha. I've tried from Pardubice and Brno only.
Thanks :-)

I'm trying to buy an online ticket for the EuroNight Praha-Budapest route. However, for each date (before or after 8 Dec), the system always says that the selected seat is not available:
Vašemu požadavku nebylo možné vyhovět. Neplatný tarif pro daný počet cestujících nebo službu.
Is there any way to buy such an onlin EN ticket with the CD ? (I try to get the ahead promo fare)

Hello,
I'm gonna travel as follows:
1. Beograd-Budapest with a normal ticket
2. Budapest - Kehl (french/german border) with the europa-special (29 eur with BC25 !!).
The problem is that I have only 16 minutes to change trains in Budapest Keleti.
In case if my miss my connection (and I have a proof for that on the Beograd-Budapest ticket), will I be still able to travel with my europa-special all the way to Kehl or just up to the German border and then I need to buy a new ticket or pray that german ticket officers understand my situation and allow me to travel anyway?
I understand that with the Europa Special in I can use only the specified trains in Germany, but abroad I can use any of them, so in this case I may get to Salzburg anyway. The problem is only the german part.
If I take the former train from Beograd I'll have to wait in Budapest more than 7 hours. Not bad for sightseeing after all, but I'd rather prefer to stay longer in Beograd.

http://www.hznet.hr/medunarodni-prijevozIt's not sure yet, but due to austerity measures, from the new timetable the HZ plans to cancel these cross-border trains which carry less than 30 passengers on average. In the worst case ALL railway connections to Hungary and Bosnia will be lost. The following trains are not endangered (one pair daily): - Zagreb - Vienna - Beograd - Zagreb - Villach - Zagreb - Villach - Frankfurt - Beograd - Zagreb – Zurich. And these would operate summer only: - Budimpešta - Split - Sarajevo - Ploče.

Trains return on Podgorica Niksic !! Finally !! http://www.zpcg.me/Novosti_111.htmlMoreover, the local train service on Nis-Dimitrovgrad in Serbia was reintroduced (formerly only one night train per day, shame as the scenery is really beautiful)

After seat61.com .... Greece reconnected? But only once a week, July until September!
Greece cancelled all its international passenger trains in February 2011, cutting itself off from the rest of Europe other than by ferry. However, there's now a glimmer of hope, as they have just reinstated a weekly train between Skopje and Thessaloniki, at least until September. It departs Skopje at 05:05 every Saturday from 14 July to 30 September, arriving Thessaloniki 10:24. Northbound, it departs Thessaloniki every Sunday at 20:11 arriving Skopje at 23:11. For trains between London/Paris/Munich and Skopje, see the Serbia & Macedonia page. You will need to stay overnight in Skopje. The fare is 756 dinars one-way, about €10.
I cannot find this train in both ose.gr and mzi.mk As I'm planning to travel there soon, I'd love to know the intermediate stops details...

The only reason for which You might like to book tickets in advance is the limited amount of couchettes and sleepers. Moreover, the 'cheap couchettes' (tania kuszetka) sell out rather quickly. But in case if You prefer to sit or travel relatively short distances, it wouldn't make any difference.
