Hello, we want to travel from Istanbul to Bukarest in the middle of June on an interrail ticket. Will the Bosphorus expres be operating until then? If not, what is the best way to get from Istanbul to Bukarest? Thank you very much. Katharina
In reply to Jamil. Yes, that’s very stupid, and not any solution to my knowledge. If you want to bypass that field by using a stupid mobile num, the format can be 0 532 XXX XX XX.

In reply to Anonymous. No idea about price. For departure times https://railturkey.org/2022/04/21/sofia-express-to-depart-on-monday/ for more detailed, check bdz’s sofia express timetable. Bucharest train’s timetable shown there due to common operation.
In reply to Olivier. Hi Onur, thank you for your answer! I still two remaining questions. First one is about the price for 4 people (25years old) for bed ticket ? And do you know if there is any timetable available somewhere ? Thanks a lot! Olivier
Hello, i'm wondering if possible to buy tickets for Sofia Express before departure at the Halkali Railway Station? or do i need to find International ticket office at another stations? Thanks for comments.
In reply to Onur Uysal. We will be traveling from Diyarbakir to Konya and will try to get a 2 bed sleeper. Do I also have to book that ticket on TCCD? Annali.
In reply to Annali. From Diyarbakir to Malatya by Kurtalan, Malatya to Adana by Firat, Adana to Konya by Toros is one solution. Or Diyarbakir to Ankara by Kurtalan and Ankara to Konya by HST is another solution.
In reply to Onur Uysal. Thank you, Onur, I will try that and let you know. How do I buy tickets for the Southern Kurtalan Express from Diyarbakir to Konya? Thanks again for all your help. Annali.
In reply to Annali. Hi Annali. That’s the stupidness of TCDDT’s system, requesting Turkish mobile num. I’d suggest you to try a stupid num like 0532 xxx xx xx. I could not check whether to use 0 at the beginning or not.
Onur, the previous question about the mobile number was from me. Please help. Annali.

Train stations of Turkey will amaze you.
Many of them are historic buildings, either from Ottoman or first years of Turkish Republic. Most will surely attract photgraphers’ interest.

Especially in cities/towns where train is not popular anymore, stations are far from the new city centers. However, high speed trains make trains again popular in Turkey.
Travel pass (Trenkart) is only sold at some stations and lockers are not very widespread.
