I'll be visiting Belgrade in April. I'd like to take the train from Belgrade to Bucharest. According to this little article there is such a train starting from December. Can anyone comfirm this and maybe provide a bit more info?

My experience with Serbian Railways tells me that such a service could be introduced or cancelled without much notice, it'd be a good idea to check in again closer to when you're travelling.

I've emailed Mr. Popvic at the Wasteels Travel Agency Office in Belgrade station, since he tends to be in the know on such matters. I'll post here if he responds.

I found some info (here and here) on the German railfan site DSO about the alternative train route which requires a few connections, times may change with the new schedule from December:

  1. Beograd Dunav Station train JŽ train departs 15:50 (train doesn't use main station in Belgrade)
  2. 17:35 arrives in Vršac, CFR Trenul Regio train departs 18:40
  3. 21:34 arrives in Timisoara Nord Station, CFR 1696 train departs 22:10
  4. 7:30 arrives Bucaresti Nord Station

Alternatively you could catch this Geatours minibus to Timisoara and the train onward from there.
