Arrived back on the day of the Clapham Junction rail crash; the crew realised that if he'd come back to Southampton instead of Felixstowe, they could have been on of the trains.

I did the trip in reverse in 1986 - with a £125 interail ticket. Route was Nottingham-Dover/Calais-Paris-Venice-Belgrade-Budapest-Brasov-Bucharest. Border stop between Italy and Yugoslavia was four hours. I remember the fearsome-looking watch towers lining the track as we crossed the Hungary-Romania border.

Within the last 15 years on a Melbourne, Australia to Europe trip, I travelled from Istanbul through Sofia, Bucharest and Budapest, spending one, two and multiple nights in hotels (plus a shared sleeper from Istanbul to Bucharest), and then on to Frankfurt. A similarly enjoyable journey: hugely better than flying. This Dylan report is a very good one: informative details and commentary, pleasant voice and good text incorporated for anyone who can't understand his English accent. It was aimed at both general travellers and railfans. European trains by and large are great, but Dylan ought have stopped off in Budapest as its tram network alone plus history makes it well worth a visit. Great to see some trains well patronised even though this was when there were more COVID-19 restrictions than today.

I made my first trip to Romania this past September - but I flew there from Heathrow. What a beautiful country, I really loved it there! After a few days seeing the area (driving the Transfagarasan and going to Bran Castle, etc.), this video sort of inspired me to take a train. No, not back to London, but south to Sofia, leaving from the same Gara du Nord station in Bucharest. I admit to using the station McDonalds - it was convenient and I was hungry. The train journey was a step back in time, my goodness. A wonderful, simple rail experience though, and I'm so happy I did it! Train travel definitely provides a much deeper, more visceral travel engagement than flying, or even driving, but you can't have speed, comfort and a decent price at the same time! (Maybe two of the three, if you're lucky!) The train to Sofia is cheap, reasonably comfortable - albeit lacking in amenities - but it is not fast. I admire this challenge, taking a train back to the UK from Romania...wish I had had time (and money) to do it! A great way to see a different side of Europe, for sure!

I enjoy the variety of travel on your channel. Just a couple weeks ago it was a short tram ride in Lisbon and today it's a trans-European adventure. It's saying something when the bed and seats are so comfortable that one oversleeps. This was a trip to remember versus a forgettable three hour plane ride (as long as you have the time). I especially liked the royal fanfare before announcements in the Bucharest train station and that bit of Erik Satie in the St. Pancras Station at the end.

After using the capital' s Metro, I then caught a 1st class sleeper cos 2nd and 3rd were then frankly very basic. We stopped at Craiova and travelled near to the Iron Gate (where over the border the Yugoslavian conflict was under way). Alto then Romania was not in the EU (it is of course now), no issues with my Irish passport. In fact officials queued up to look at it- quite a rarity there and then!!

Hello Dylan. Another excellent presentation for which I thank you.

The meals in the Bistro from Wien are always good, with a nice wine list. The CFR part of the journey is sometimes good and sometimes bad, depending on the surliness of the Romanian staff, otherwise I would highly recommend that all 'rail orientated' folk make this journey at least once - as you say, it is really a land cruise with options to stop off at many interesting places.

I loved your journey. Bucharest North Station is a whole like nicer than the historic Soviet Station in Budapest!!! Romania is so beautiful...see KZbinr Damon Dominique days in Romania! I would have changed to Czech Railways in Vienna and enjoyed a more leisurely trip into Prague and then CZ to Frankfurt, but hey, you were in a hurry to get back home! Great Trip...jealous in Raleigh, NC, USA due to COVID.....I haven't been traveling in Europe since 2019.....so sad!!!!!

Looks like a fun trip. On my Romania trip, I left by air from Bucharest to Vienna. It was an early flight and I arrived at the airport a little after 4:00 am. The Bucharest airport was absolutely packet at 4:30 am. Long lines everywhere. In contrast, Vienna was almost empty when we got there ate 7:00 am.

Great vid! My version would involve breaking the journey in Vienna, maybe to a side trip to Bratislava & back, then take NJ to Paris. Though very short, I'd likely take the Metro between Paris Est & Nord just to keep the journey all rail...

For Eurostar, the minimum time you can pass through the gates at is 30 mins prior departure. Past this delay, the gates will not open and there is no way the agents can let you pass them! Also, about 10 years ago they stopped making Paris trains stop in Lille, it's generally the Brussels/Amsterdam trains which stop there. Great video! I'd cross Europe like that all the time if it wasn't for the price :/

👍🏼 Thanks for putting all this together. I agree; I would probably have stopped off at several of the destinations, along the way, and made a day tour of them which you could not do via airplane.

Me and my brother has similar trip planned for the summer. We do however cheat a little bit with airplanes in both end of the trip. Leg 1. CPH -AMS Leg 2. Amsterdam - Paris with Thalys. Leg 3. Paris -Frankfurt with TGV Euroduplex Leg 4. Frankfurt - Nürnberg with ICE (unknow generation). Leg 5. Nürnberg - Vienna with most likely ICE-T Leg 6. Vienna - Prague with Railjet. Leg 7. Prague - Berlin with a Eurocity train. Leg 8. BER - CPH. The 2 flights and the Thalys trip is in standard class but every other trip is in 1. class.

Really enjoyed this bit of escapism. Romania certainly warrants further travelling around! I'm surprised you ate when you did on the CFR sleeper (before 4pm)... you must have been starving by the time you got to Vienna!

With an interrail pass (if it works on these services bar maybe eurostar and the sleeper train), definitely! Its CO² free and a journey to remember. Amazing review Dylan! Talk about killing multiple birds with one stone. Lol. Great video as always!

I really enjoyed this account of your journey. I would have been very annoyed at paying a 1st Class fare and finding only a sliver of window 😡 and not too chuffed at so many seats travelling backwards ( i know you don't mind this). However, your good-natured character and tolerance shines throughout and we catch your enjoyment and enthusiasm. Not too long at all. 😀
