Hello, I would like to know if there are sleepers on the night Train line Belgrade-Sofia? I have received different info on this.
If not, what is the lowest possible number of beds in a couchette on the line?
I've heard that the best is a 4-person couchette for 3736 Serbian Dinars.
Could you please confirm this (and advise me on the above mentioned things)?
Woul call Wasteels but it's so damn expensive with my phone subscription :/

INfo on this is scarce-and tue to the current refugee crisis and overwhelming those railways with sheer nr of people-noone knows about regular trains.
Last reports were that sleepers did not run in that train and only-IF available and not ''broke'' or used elsewhere (profitable summertrains to the coast) there might be a couchette-or not. REServations for those were only done when staff got the news it would run-or simply pay carconductor. Most IR-users seem to have eternal worries about fullness-in practice emptiness-and thus noone cares, no one bothers- why run at all- is more the actual situation.
IF you can read German and are persistent about those run down lie-down coaches: go to Ausland forum on site drehscheibe-online.de.

There is no sleeper on this service however the couchette cars seem to run reliably. During the summer there were even two couchettes on this train (one Serbian, one Bulgarian).
When I travelled Belgrade - Sofia in Feb 2013 there was just a handful of passengers on the train.

Yup, have booked and paid through Wasteels. Got a 4-person couchette for RSD 3736 (~EUR 31)
