Romanian Railways – Daytime Sleeper Trains!
Romanian Railways (CFR Călători) have introduced daytime sleeper trains or rather they have added sleeping cars to daytime trains.
Quite innovative in Covid times allowing people to “self isolate” on the train, you can book for solo occupancy or a 2 person share!
The daytime sleeper trains are:
- IR 1745/ RE 4005 Bucharest North (departure 6:00) – Cluj Napoca (arrival 15:24/ departure 15:44) – Baia Mare (arrival 20:00)
- RE 4006/ IR 1746 Baia Mare (departure 05:40) – Cluj Napoca (arrival 09:47/ departure 09:57) – Bucharest North (arrival 19:41)
- IR 1833 Iaşi (departure 06:05) – Cluj Napoca (arrival 14:58/ departure 15:29) – Timișoara Nord (arrival 21:58)
- IR 1834 Timișoara Nord (departure 06:49) – Cluj Napoca (arrival 12:43/ departure 12:58) – Iaşi (arrival 21:46)
Both routes are very long distance with end to end travel times of up to 16 hours so they offer an attractive travel option.
They are bookable online at CFR Călători
It is certainly an option that I would consider!
