I am a new fan of this site. I am from the Czech Republic, I am 60 years old. I took the train route from Budapest to Bucharest in the 70s, with my parents, mama and papa. Hello All friends!
Hahaha...you stop in my home town of SIMERIA...and i want to give you and update this railway station is now being renovated and all the infrastructure to speed arround 160km/h....and i saw all your videos on rail because also i am a fan of railway....i like your videos and hoppefully you will come back with a new video from full renovated station of Simeria!!!Wish you all the best
Beautiful scenery through the Carpathian mountains , what an amazing trip . I really hope one day I will do it as well . Romania is indeed a beautiful country .
Bringing back good memories. I fell in love with Romania after going on this train. I will go back there soon. Will probably fly to Bucharest this time but I am tempted with the sleeper train from Bucharest to Chisinau.
I did that recently, from Bucharest to Chisinau with the "Prietenia" train and it was not a nice experience.
@@roverwanderer3422 Could you write more about it? Why was it not good?
Bad idea! You will spend 2 hours at the border! 😄
@@roverwanderer3422 Please tell us about your un-nice experience.
@@samtrak1204 As said in the video, the sleeper cars aswell as the dining cars are totally rundown and neglected. A fellow traveler told me that the train staff entered her room in the middle of the night, luckily she was awake. Also I think there is still a problem with Roma-Sinti gypsies breaking into your room and stealing from you and apparently the romanian train staff doesn't care at all.
I was travelled between Brasov-Sinaia-Bucharest on the same line in January 2019, just two months before this video, it was snowy time, the view was incredible. Although the CFR's cars are quite old, but the tickets were cheap and really easy to bought. In general, it was an enjoyable journey.
This video is really amazing. It showed me Austria, Hungary and Romanian landscapes. Mind blowing journey👌
Thanks for that video. It brougth back memories. I rode the "Orient Express" with original Wagon Lits sleeper car, many times in the 1970s from Vienna to Brasov. Sometimes even with steam engines pulling it. By that time it was the last remainder of the old pre-war Orient Express, still starting in Paris, split in Switzerland, the northern fork ending in Bucharest, the southern,, over Venice still went throuogh to Istanbul.
Lucky you
Excellent video, I enjoyed every moment of it. I love my country but I really wish for it to have better infrastructure and quality of service in the future. Cheers !
Greetings from Czechia. Nice trip. I've been on this route several times... From Brasov to Ploeisti is the rail roud fantastic :-)
Fascinating. Thanks for a great video with informative annotations.
Back in 2013, I first got the taste of train travel round (mainland) Europe as I had to get a train from Vienna (Meidling - Hbf wasn't completed then) to Graz; direct flights to graz from the UK had stopped.
When I was at Vienna Hbf a year or so later, I saw a train roll on from Moscow as well as trains to Budapest, Prague, Munich and Hamburg... which whetted my appetite.
Dec 2017 I did Budapest => Bratislava => Vienna => Graz, stopping 2-3 days in each place and sampling the Christmas markets.
Dec. 2018, I flew to Munich then did...
Munich => Salzburg => Graz => Vienna => Bratislava => Budapest... then flew to Bucharest then too the train to Constanta.
I walked to the People's Palace, opposite where the Christmas market was situated, from my hotel (about 20 mins or so) and then when it was time to travel, walked from my hotel (Capitol Hotel) to Gara de Nord.
I wish I had videod all of that as it could have made interesting footage for UA-cam !
Oh well, next time.
I just love rail travel and it's on my bucket list to do an overnight train through Europe don't care which one but vids like this can help me choose, the thought of overnight travel just rocks me to sleep and I keep telling my wife it's not too expensive if you factor in the price of the journey plus you're not paying for a hotel room for that night and you've got a full day in the city you arrive in,great vid
Jeez mate I can only assume you are in the USA if it is a bucket list thing, I did it a few times back in the 90s in Austria and Italy, it isn't at all expensive and as you say you aren't paying for a hotel room. I can recommend it, iit's really nice being rocked to sleep too and I like the whole thing of having meals or breakfast either served in your cabin/couchette, or taking them in the restaurant car. I suppose if you're in the states doing this in Europe seems very romantic, just as we in Europe look upon driving the route 66 as a kind of once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You know what they say; the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
I'd also recommend the Shosoloza Meyl train running from Pretoria to Cape Town in South Africa, I got on at Johannesburg but it was still 26 hours through some epic places like Kimberley and across the Karoo mountain/desert area prior to reaching Cape Town. I remember an ostrich standing by the side of the line in the Karoo, looking at us as we pulled out of some station or other, but otherwise it isn't like you see giraffes and elephants lol it is after all not the Serengeti but South Africa which has been densely populated and tamed for centuries now. I wasn't in Premier which is like the Orient Express, but in First which is like what you see on a standard overnighter in Europe. Bearing in mind that third class is uncomfortable wooden benches in wagons without compartments it was still pretty comfortable
I used this train when travelling to Romania for the first time. We boarded in Budapest and got off in Sighișoara. It was also my first experience of travelling on board a EuroNight train.
În mod sigur acest clip este postat cu o oarecare candoare.Realizatorul nu a punctat defel lipsurile sau slaba calitate a infrastructurii feroviare. Acestea(lipsurile)se subînţeleg doar urmărind clipul fără comentariu.Este inadmisibil ca in 2019 România să aibe cea mai slabă reţea feroviară. Acesta este trenul fantomă.E rușinos că CFR ul încă mai are in lucru trenuri goale.Cât despre viteză......s-o lăsăm pentru secolul următor!Vreau să-l felicit pe cel care a realizat materialul video.O imagine face cât o mie de cuvinte,nu-i așa??
Is roman si yo
Adevărat, doar Astra Trans Carpatic la noi in Romania ofera comfort pe bani putini (mai putini ca la CFR) si confort mai mare ca la cfr. Problemele sunt locomotivele si vagoanele CFR si INFRASTRUCTURA.
Adevar graiesti.....suntem deplorabili.....Doc7 a fost foarte cumsecade si nu ne-a facut de rusine. dar CFR ul este la pamant. Dezastru. Un prieten de-al meu din Slovenia a fost la noi si mi-a zis sincer ca ii prea multa mizerie in Romania si oameni foarte reci
Asta i farmecul în România aicea vezi ce nu vezi în Europa
Oameni reci??? Probabil de tine zicea, nu l-ai incalzit cum trebuie...:):)
What a beautiful mountains.
I like the whole "hammer of Theseus" quality this train has. Swapping out coaches, locomotives, etc.but somehow it's still the same train. It also kind of feels like Amtrak, if more American trains were electrified. Slow, fairly dated, but the scenery is spectacular.
Whats the hurry ,enjoy the journey
@@tonyofarrell2775 Exactly, the countryside can be enjoyed. As for Amtrak, it is only relevant in the Northeast because the US as vast airport infrastructure for rapid transit. Amtrak in other areas is only for adventurous travel. I’ve used the Acela often from Washington to Manhattan and the Albany to Manhattan along with the Zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco. Two totally different experiences.
I want to get on this train! It's wonderful travel!
Nice video. I clicked on the video because I visited Romania, in 91?
The scars from the fall of Ceaușescu, were still evident.
I was on a business trip - waste of time really - but I found the people to be lovely and Bucharest, still had its charm - the boulevards and the architecture.
It was a curious trip.😁
My family would travel often to Bucharest from Vienna in the 1920s' and 30s'. Food is good in Bucharest.
Follow in their steps:the food is still good :))
Food's good at Budapest too.

A very well-chosen route (3B+1W) and absolutely well-worth for the money paid for such an unforgettable railway travel👍🇦🇹🇭🇺🇷🇴👍
Having visited Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest and Braşov before, I've always dreamed of such a rail travel that links these beautiful cities entirely😃so thank you for preparing this video, which proved me that my dream is not an impossible one😊👍👍👍👍👍😊

Hey!Thank you for this video.The thing is that Romanians travel a lot by bus or regional trains.Sometimes buses can be extremely cheap compared to train tickets.I also went once from Cluj to Bucharest with this kind of train and while the chairs area on second class was crowded,in the sleeping car,no so much.For Romanians,sleeping car is quite expensive raported to their money.
Aba yup! We Romanians love buses and coaches not trains.

We travel by personal car because the train experience is quite bad.

Suntem o familie din București, intenționăm să mergem cu trenul la Viena, mulțumim foarte mult pentru acest video! Felicitări ❤
Amazing video, and D347 on my list. Many thanks !
10:29 the art on the locomotive is very nice
The message: When I grow up, I will be a railwaymen!
I like the one at 16:58, hungarian locomotive with Matyas Kiraly art on it, so beautiful :)
Yet another superb video!
Cool video! Nu am mai fost prin Romania Bucuresti din 1994
Great, I love Romania👍🤗
Like your video very much. Some of the rail lines are almost as poor as some in the United States, but others are much better.
Thank you for this very nice video! I traveled the line several times in the early 90s. Your video makes me feel like doing it again.
Man, I really loved this video, thanks for making it!
Muy buen video! Disfruté cada minuto. Saludos desde Escobar, Buenos Aires, Argentina.-
Another fantastic movie. You take interesting trips and record great movies.
I did not know anything about this trip until watching your video and wow, it was wonderful! I felt like traveling together with a very detailed guide on the train. I also loved the livery of CFR’s AVA200. You must be a railway enthusiast. Thanks so much for the neatly review!
Great train travel video as usual !
Amazing view from the plane of the Fagaras Mountains at the end!
An amazing trip to take thoroughly enjoyed watching this video
Thank you to you!💖
Great work!👍
i love these videos so real and informative I feel like I am travelling great to have discovered in these times when it is not possible for me to travel in Europe
Thanks for this video mate! I'll surely make a Transylvanian trip like this. Every minute was awesome! Cheers from Hungary!
Thank-you, I found this video very enlightening!
Wow! Great and like!
Excellent video on a superb journey 👍👍👍
Outstanding! Liked very much! Traveling by train may be slower than by an airplane but it gives you the taste of discovering the countries you pass through. A very fascinating way to move. Thank you for sharing and for the details you gave along the whole journey.
Brilliant filming, editing, and music. Great job, again, just like all of your other videos.
IT TAKE ME BACK 1990 WHEN I WAS THERE IN BUCUREST WITH MY FRIENDS FOR A MONTH ..LOVELY COUNTRY AND GREAT PEOPLE...EXCELLENT VIDEO THINKS 4 SHEARNG.
well that is the consequence of 30 yrs of mismanagement, underinvestment, and almost a deliberate policy of neglecting the railways. it might seem odd to foreigners but before 1989 the situation was better, ridership was much greater and at least we could compare ourselves with neighbouring countries. now when i see the the russian railways they are just so much better than us. anyway the scenery is worth such a ride .
In viitor cred că ne vom reindrepta atenția spre infrastructura feroviară. O vad că o cheie pentru redresarea țării.
Helooo from Romania!!!
Very good men!!
That looks amazing. Great!
They are pretty good in keeping to the schedule. I did Vienna - Constanta several times as a youngster in the mid 1970s, which was a scheduled 24 hours, but we never made it under 30 ...
were you able to travel from Austria to Romania when it was under communism? was it possible to do that?
@@filipstravels5327 Sure. There was a regular train every week going at least from Vienna to Constanta (actually i believe it already started out in Zürich) called the 'Wiener Walzer" (Vienna Waltz). I did this three times in the mid seventies for a summer vacation at the black sea. Very adventurous. When going through Translylvania (hungarian minorities) the shades were pulled down and locked, so you could not see anything. And once we were pulled between Budapest and Bukarest by two steam engines. Over the mountains you had the impression you need to get out and help pushing. It was great and i would hate to miss this experience.
The Eastern Bloc countries (esp. Romania and Bulgaria) were interested in Western hard currency; so it was possible to visit these countries with a Western passport
ÖBB1116 is a better option for the train because the Romanian locomotive can be replaced at Arad station in Romania with the ÖBB1116 going Arad Budapest Wien Hbf. In the Evening the same ÖBB1116 will run to Aachen Hbf Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen with the Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem Utrecht Amsterdam coaches detached at Köln Hbf or Duisburg Hbf if the Aachen section is not running towards Brussels
Very interesting and informative video. Bravo.
Big Like!
Amazing and professional! Merci beaucoup.
Superb video! You've really done your research!
Yours video is incredible
Excellent video !! since the time I wanted to see a video like this for this train! Small correction at 37:27 it's not a Z6100 EMU, it's a BB25500 Class with two coupons of RIB / RIO. But you're right the material belonged to the SNCF before. 😉
Greetings from France ! 😁
Great video!!!
Beautiful cabin great job n very classic
Great video! Very Very Very nice)!
I've never taken this train though I have the Budapest Bucharest train the "Ister" and that meal looks very familiar. Thanks for another great video Doc.
Great job! I visited Romania in 2015 and experienced several IC, IR and regional trains, but not this one, unfortunately. Loved the country. Cheers from Portugal.
Excellent!
Interesting to see Romania again after much traveling here in tbe past. However I went from Budapest via Oradea and Cluj on my journey to Brasov. Last time in Gara Nord was in 2005. Subscribed
Great trip!
excelent informative presentation
NICE VIDEO I AM INDIA MY NAME MOHAMMAD ARIF TRAIN IS VERY GOOD AND INTERIOR DECORATE VERY GOOD
great video!
I took this train last week. I slept in a 4 bed couchette. In my opinion these compartments are more comfortable, because there is more space and you can open the windows all the way.
Amazing and Beautiful 🥰
Great video, great trip
Very,very interesting video!Greetings from Israel!
Greetings from Deva!
Very beautiful vdo..touring vd you.
Хорошее видео)
Great !!
25:06 - that’s because CFR doesn’t sell tickets for the sleeping car and the couchette in Romania, only for international traffic
Thank you
Nice video
Good job on the video
Great video, but one important detail: Timis river can we see from train window between stations Arad-Deva-Alba Iulia. But by riding through Predeal pass we can see from the train windor Prahova river. I had opportunites to travel from Bratislava to Burgas by train in 2001 and 2004. I remember very well on steep rocky mountains between Brasov and Ploiesti, better before and after Sinaia.
Between Arad - Deva - Alba you can see from train window only Mures River , not Timis. I live in Arad. I have also a YT channel with trains...
@@StarLight10. I appologize, of course Mures, hungarian Maros river. Riding to Porta Orientalis pass, there can we see Timis river and after we drive through it (POP) Danube river. Shame on me.
Very good captures! Have you ever visited Budapest?
Congratulations for your movie!
Thank you for the information you typed.
traveling across the carpathian mountains by train is probably one of best things you can do in this half of Europe if u have time.Not very big mountains but the Carpathian mountains chain seen by train is gold. a painter would find enough to work for a decade.
Very nice video.
Super nice video I liked this video like
Very good Video , excellent ! Like ! Greetings from Brașov

Greetings from Curtici! 😀
Very fun!! 😀😀
Bravo! Prezzo distanza
beautiful train movie!
Its a pity that Brasov Station hides the beauty of Brasov as its a great place to visit, I prefer winter there as a little less touristy but late Spring through mid Autumn, always a popular spot. I like the climb on the train out of Brasov up through Predeal and Sinaia. One thing about stock in Romania, may not be pretty on the outside sometimes, but comfy inside and nearly always punctual.
Beautiful trip! If only the regional inland trains would be half as clean as this one! We (living in Germany) travelled 2018 from Targu-Mures to Bucharest, the seatings were the same as before 20 years or so, but at least clean. But the toilets were a horror, I didn't drink anything almost until arriving in Bucharest to avoid them :-(
very nice video bro
If You are complaining about this route well, I invite you to travel from Bucharest to Timișoara. Good luck, you will need it. :)
Vagonul restaurant arată că o cantină de pe vremea lui Ceausescu
PROPRIO UN BEL VIDEO E ANCHE UN BEL TRENO.
Have never seen so many attach/detach car operations on a single journey.
Guessing by the "slam-slam" sound the car makes as it moves ( 35:40 ), in Romania they end both rail sections at the same place like toy trains, rather than staggered to get "clickety-clack" which is (IMHO) much more soothing to the nerves. OTOH down the other side was wonderful; assuming welded.
Like ;)
Was the air conditioning not working? As you had the window open all he way.
Anyway I love these AVA200 sleeping cars. Looks like they run very smoothly, and the compartments (together with the Deluxe ones) look bigger and more comfortable than on Nightjet Comfortline sleepers.
