But that map ( last year’s ) shows the headline is not true - there are still night trains across Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, and from Belgrade to Bar. Hopefully in summer optima-tours will return on the route to turkey. Of course, we used to have more - nothing to Greece, no more Orient Express, but as i understand TEN is funding track improvements from Serbia to Bulgaria after which such routes may become viable again ?
My problem is I’m Bulgarian and even though the few night lines are the best of BDZ (Bulgarian rail) they are still appalling.
We have 5 countries with no night rail whatsoever and Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro with worse networks than in the 20th century.
