Please, inform me about the situation of the train (cleanliness, WC, etc) and about the duration of the travel.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris.
Here are some basic information about the night train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/thessaloniki-belgrade-b-334/415[/u]
More in our blog including photos: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/belgrade-skopje-thessaloniki-train/[/ux]
And bellow the video about this journey from Greece to Serbia (in reverse direction, but it is the same train).

The train itself is rather basic and old. Definitely go for a couchette! But it is an adventure - you can open the windows, enjoy the wind, the route - something you won\'t meet in the "styled high-speed-trains" of Western Europe. I like this train. :)

Hi Chris,

as Pete already mentioned - definitely not a very modern nor clean train (especially the toilets) however the trip is quite an adventure and definitely memorable. :)
Local railways are struggling to keep up and offer a modern service but on the other hand you can experience original old-fashioned railway there.
