MalteStart of my new Interrail ticket. First part to get to #Bucharest again.
First train is ICE 1013 to Stuttgart. So far on time
Because #Budapest-Keleti is closed, you have to take Regio from Budapest-Kelenföld to Kőbánya-Kispest. There all the eastbound trains leave.
Now I sit in IC 742 to Békéscsaba, where I have one hour for lunch break.

Lunch break over. Its time that the seat quality gets worse... Now in the CFR carriage to Arad. It will take longer than needed, because the timetable still includes 30min stop on each side of the border for passport checks.
Hungarian border without border check ✅
Romanian border with check ❌
Around one hour break in #Arad and I boarded the last train. IR(N?) 14300 run by Astra Trans Carpatic to #Bucharest. I paid 66€ for my bed in a two person compartment. Because of construction to improve the speed of the line the train has to take a detour. Total trip time just over 14h.
Arrived in #Bucharest with 15min delay. In the night there was one hour long shunting in Lugoj.
