Hi, first time poster here. My girlfriend and I are having trouble figuring out how to reserve overnight trains- for example booking Budapest to Bucharest for mid July online seems pretty impossible! How important is reserving overnight tickets for certain routes? And if reservations are required, will it be very clear on the website? Just because we were thinking of just booking most if the train journeys, overnight included, at the train station of departure the day or the day before we leave... Thanks for the help!

Hi.
The standard way to buy reservations is to do it at a railway station. Not necessarily online!
We list the information on where and how to buy in the night train details: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]
Not all reservations are available online, especially not the ones for Eastern Europe.
You can never preview if a train is full or not.
You can already buy the reservation in advance in an other country... the one from Budapest to Bucharest for example already in Germany, Czech Rep. or wherever you stop before.
And please help us to help you with all the free information on railcc - buy your official Interrail pass via [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] - thank you! :)
Peter :)

you youngies simply have to think the old-fashioned old ways-antique. Do NOT think that www is possible- and its better [our old trick when we did that) to simply stay at your station a few mins more on arrival-check out times etc for next trip and book/reserve THEN- saving you to come back to that ugly and filthy station again to do just that. Are those things really so hard nowadays to think of??
