In reply to Tara. Hi Tara. First of all, it’s not our policy, it’s TCDDT’s. Rail Turkey is a train travel portal. It’s stated that no pets allowed at sleepers and Sofia train has only sleepers. I’d suggest you to talk with ticket desk at station to check if they can offer a solution.
In reply to Richard Jackson. Kars-Ankara: Most probably. Ankara-Istanbul: Less probably. Istanbul-Edirne: No. In general, you can carry it when train has luggage car and there’s suitable space.
Hi You offer a good service. Can you tell me if I can travel with a motorbike on train from Kars to Edirne. If not Kars to Istanbul? Thanks Richard Jackson
In reply to Daniel. For westward direction, you better check via Internatioanal ticket desks in Turkey. See contact info at Sirkeci or Halkali station pages.
Hi, Do you have information about the Bucharest-Istanbul and Istanbul-Sofia car. On the CFR website it says that the train is full till Sunday. Is it correct?
In reply to Julia. Though Halkali is not listed in stations with international ticket desk, one reader reported that it can be bought by now at Halkali.
Hi Onur, I will be catching the sleeper train from Istanbul Halkali to Bucharest on 17 August. Is it correct that although the train departs from Halkali, I am not able to buy a ticket at Halkali and need to buy my ticket from an International train station such as Sirkeci? Thank you.
Hi Onur, I know this was discussed before, but just want to make sure. We need to buy tickets for Istanbul/Konya. Is it 15 days in advance? And for the Toros and Kurtalan Express 30 days in advance? Thank you again for your help and patience in answering all my questions. It is much appreciated.
In reply to Ralph. Unfortunately it’s not a fully automated process. So it depends. Genetally soon after midnight, but sometimes even in day time, not following 15/30 days rule.
