Sleeper Bookings (Romania)

[reb0118]

I'm rail staff and have free international coupons for Romania. I'm looking to travel on an overnight service from Bucureşti to Oradea in February with a non rail staff companion.

Do you know of any websites where I can book just a sleeper berth reservation? I've tried the Romanian CFR website to no avail and a UK based agency states they can no longer do internal Romanian bookings.

Internal Romanian reservations (only) cannot be booked online. Given that Romanian fares are very cheap anyway you may wish to consider forgetting your coupons and buying a full priced ticket, including sleeper, online.

Someone with an Interrail recently booked a sleeper reservation via e-mail. I suppose he used the e-mail address from this page:

Bilete trafic international

bileteinternationale.cfrcalatori.ro

After booking he could pick up the reservation (it was for Bucharest - Istanbul) at the Bucharest ticket office.
Other than that, domestic reservations for Romania are only possible at a Romanian ticket office. AFAIK you need a normal reservation, just like Interrail users.

Thanks for the responses. I'm still at the planning stages so will have a wee think. Another two folk have expressed an interest in the trip so that may change the dynamics.
