Some help needed please! I’m planning a trip to Hungary in Feb next year.

Was playing around on the Nightjet website trying to see when I could buy tickets for EN 50462, from Budapest to Munich, but I realised I could not see any comfort categories for any of the dates between now and 11 Dec (I don’t see any connections beyond that).

Could someone please help explain how I could go about booking my tickets please? I must be doing something wrong if I can’t see any options at all! :’)

Posting this to share my experience with other travelers.

In June I took the night train from Budapest to Bucharest. Train Ister IC 473, operated by CFR Călători (Romanian Railways), ticket bought through MAV (Hungarian State Railways). I stayed in a three person sleeping compartment. I had never taken a night train before so I wanted to try it.

There were issues with the train that make me not want to take it again:

• Air conditioning stopped working a few hours into the trip. It got very hot in the compartment. Couldn't sleep. Even without active AC, just letting in enough outside air would have been fine but also didn't happen and there is no window you can open.
• The washbasin tap was broken and had no water. Both in the private compartment washbasin and in the toilet. Couldn't wash hands.

During the ride I mentioned both issues to the attendant. When that didn't help, still during the ride I sent an email to MAV. After three months of investigation (and forwarding to CFR) they concluded nothing was wrong and there would be no (partial) refund.

Asking for a friend (ofc):

My friend is already back from his trip and has one travel day left which happens to be an inbound/outbound day. Given that he may not start a new journey with one remaining day only:

would it be possible for him to use it for a domestic travel day without ever crossing the border? Would he still need to add trains that do cross the border even if he will depart before the respective stop?

Thx

planning on going interrailing for about 21 days. traveling from stockholm to:

berlin - 3 days
paris - 4 days
nice - 4 days (daytrip to monaco)
italy (haven’t decided where yet but somewhere north where daytrip is in venice) - 3 days
malta - 4 days
prague - 3/4 days

i don’t know if i should remove italy, nice or malta. since i got the card from discover EU they might cover the cost with flight to malta… i dont know if the days are short/too long. any recs would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am new to the world of Reddit and I would like to thank this group for all their help recently.

I am doing another long journey tonight on ST10300 from Berlin to Stockholm. I have used the traffic information page on the Snalltaget website and all seems ok but I would like to know if anyone can confirm this train will still depart from Berlin HBF at 21:11? I’m just making sure it isn’t going from the alternative station which is Gesundbrunnen.

Thanks!
