Danke!
Thank you very much!
@@RailwaylineT I also like to do trips in Europe with regional trains. So I enjoy your channel. Thanks, great job 👏👏👏 👍👍👍
@@RailwaylineTcu buletinul nu poti trece calatori ? Trebuie doar pasaport ?
@@alincimporescu Sunt necesare un bilet de tren și un pașaport personal
@@RailwaylineT te referi la buletin ?
I did the same route but in reverse.. from Craiova to Vidin.. with interrail pass.. from Leeuwarden Holland to Halkali Istanbul Turkey.. december 2023..
The difference is that BDZ is not well managed company.
Nice trip.
Please did they checked your passport at the border cross??
Passport checked before boarding the train.
I saw that you can buy a ticket for this trip for 31 RON (€6) on the CFR website, whereas it costs 18 BGN (€9) via БДЖ now. Was the option to buy the ticket on the website available when you travelled?
I bought the ticket at the ticket office of the train station
В России РЖД-космос,такое было лет 20 назад
still, your mentality is anchored well in the Middle Ages.
Have a nice trip. Romania is interesting
Nie rozumiem dlaczego sprawdzają paszport. Bułgaria jest w Unii . Rumunia jest w Unii. Po co kontrola paszportowa
To jest kontrola graniczna.
Union but Schengen is still imposing checking of passports because of Austria not beeing happy with free movement...

Nice video. I really like the bottle at 00:25 😅
Door mechanism
Neașteptat, trenul arata foarte bine
As of late 2024, is this train connection still functioning?
Unfortunately I don't know this
Just look at the difference in the condition of the two national railways.
The Romanian carriages are clean and spotless, a source of national pride (and of EU investment).
The Bulgarian carriages are a national disgrace, a complete shame, dirty, full of graffiti and yet the Bulgarians also receive EU funding for their railroads (so who is stealing the money?).
Bulgaria bought trains, I think from Skoda, a year ago, but they are not there yet
Indeed trains in Bulgaria are old and not well maintained on the outside, but are usually okay from the inside. Trains are old but relatively clean. So dont judge by the cover.
When speaking about railroads in Romania however and the fact that Calafat - Craiova lacks electrification and needs a diesel locomotive to operate, as well as takes more than 2 hours for a 90km in simple plain, should be considered a lot more shameful. Train goes with speed 40 km/h average speed, yes, in 21 century, disgraceful don't you think!?
Romania has always neglected connectivity with its southern neighbor, so dont rush too much to throw stones in the wrong garden.
Not everything in Europe is related to eu investment. Greetings from the Carpathian region 🇷🇴 to our Balkan 🇧🇬 brothers. If you protest things will change. This is how it’s done in Romania. Through demand and protest.
@@PTYonchev Not throwing stones at all..just my learned observations after having travelled extensively by train in both countries. At least 85% of Romanian carriages are proper, well-maintained and graffiti free. In Bulgaria, the carriages are filthy on the outside and filthy on the inside. The outside is all graffiti and the inside is filthy. There are bed bugs and lice in the seats. It is horrible. The entire country is at risk of a typhus outbreak because of the state of its railway carriages. And yes, the EU gave Bulgaria hundreds of millions of euros to modernise its railways. Corruption in Bulgaria so serious, just like in Russia, that most of these EU fonds were scammed off by corrupt bureaucrats. Romania is a second-world country on its way to becoming a first-word country in ten or fifteen years. Bulgaria, on the other hand, is a fourth-world country with immense problems. And the EU knows this. Additionally, Bulgaria remains, mentally at least, in the Soviet orbit.
@@luludufuret4585 The EU funds go for infrastructure, not for trains. And from what I have seen on videos, Bulgarian infrastructure is better than the Romanian. Even if we look at the railways between both countries, the difference is visible - even though Bulgaria has not upgraded them for decades, but they are twice faster and electrified.
do you have a time for visit vidin center
there was no time, we will visit next time
Helo, great video. Planing to do the same, but in reverse. I saw that there is a fence between the International train and the local ones. How do you pass over, is there a barrier or something?
Cheers
Thank you for the comment. This is how documents are checked. There is a border guard at the fence.
sofia to craiova is 15 leva ? crazy
Kojom brzinom se krece voz?

In my opinion the BDZH have the worst maintained rolling stock in the EU. Absolutely horrific. The CFR DMU looks like from another Millennium Not century.
thanks, we try to be the best at what we do.
CFR is not far behind.
@@kristiant96 yes, I know. It’s sad. You deserve much better Rolling Stock and Infrastructure. Greets from Poland
Byłem w Rumuni , jest tam super polecam.
