In the other direction it leaves Wien Westbf at 1830 and Wien Hbf at 1908, instead of 1942.
No stop in Budapest-Keleti and 14mins in Szolnok. Wait time in Lököshaza from 39mins to 40mins. In Curtici it is from 30mins to no wait time, but instead in Arad 21mins.
Arrival in Bucharest at 1338 […]

@kupfers ja, Rumänien ist meine zweite Heimat geworden 😅

@jon I heard that Aktor is building tunnels there and they have bad reputation. There is someone filming the line regularly by drone. You can see the (non) existing progress good in the videos https://youtu.be/4FF6F6AZOKY

Perfect connection with RB6 back to Aulendorf

Arrived in #bucharest with 15min delay. In the night there was one hour long shunting in Lugoj.

Around one hour break in #Arad and I boarded the last train. IR(N?) 14300 run by Astra Trans Carpatic to #bucharest. I paid 66€ for my bed in a two person compartment. Because of construction to improve the speed of the line the train has to take a detour. Total trip time just over 14h.

Romanian border with check ❌

Hungarian border without border check ✅

Lunch break over. Its time that the seat quality gets worse... Now in the CFR carriage to Arad. It will take longer than needed, because the timetable still includes 30min stop on each side of the border for passport checks.

Because #Budapest-Keleti is closed, you have to take Regio from Budapest-Kelenföld to Kőbánya-Kispest. There all the eastbound trains leave.
Now I sit in IC 742 to Békéscsaba, where I have one hour for lunch break.

Arrived early in Stuttgart and now I am in the EN 50237 to #Budapest
