Beautiful trains! Yes, it's September and it's hot summer here in Arad (Romania) too. Have a good evening!

Thank you! Romania is always hotter than Sofia, when I travel. But autumn is coming. Have a good weekend!

I see You have spent quality time trainspotting in Sofia. Just one question, in case that I might one day come to film to Sofia, could You tell me at what platform at Sofia Central is the best spot for filming? I mean there are two sides of rail station, at which one there are the most rail traffic ?

[@adyankov]

I live here, so it is easy to drop by the station at lunch (I don't even go through the passenger terminal). Where to stand is an open question and depends on which arrivals/departures you want to capture, plus there is on-going track replacement and re-arrangement. But I would recommend platform/track 8 or 10, because all maneuvering locos and any transit cargo train would pass through track 9 in the middle. The higher number platform tracks is also where the incoming traffic from the Northern line 2 (Varna, VIdin, Mezdra etc.) would arrive. If you want to catch the east-bound trains to Plovdiv and Burgas, as well as Istanbul, you want to be by the lower number platform/tracks or by the terminal building (right now they pass through a single track conveniently located by a parking - seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmqYeWeNZa17gq8). Another Bulgarian KZbinr did a great drone overflight video of the entire Sofia station construction site last week, from it you can get an excellent idea of the (current) track and platform layout: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPYmJZrlKyLrqM
