how easy and expensive do people think it would take to undertake this route, and how long would it take? also, if anyone has done this, or a slight variation and recommends it i would love to hear your advice! thanks

hi.
have a look at these links.
[b]Budapest-Bucharest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-bucharest-night-train/f1605[/u]
[b]Bucharest-Istanbul[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/bucharest-istanbul-night-train/f1639[/u]
It is also possible:
[b]Budapest-Belgrade[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-belgrade-night-train/f3370[/u]
[b]Belgrade-Istanbul[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/belgrade-istanbul-night-train/f3567[/u]
[b]Istanbul-border of Iran[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/istanbul-syria-train-toros-express/f1176[/u]
From the border of Turkey you will have to take a bus ... or continue to [b]Damascus[/b] and from there by bus.
The problem is that the rail track to Tehran is currently only used by freight trains - not passengers
