Be sure to stop in either Brasov or Sibiu on the way south from Sighisoara, both are well worth a visit...also, if you fancy a beer with a fellow FTer here in Bucharest, I'd be happy to show you a pub or two
Brasov is right on the main line, and I agree is a great place to stop. Sibiu requires a side trip down branch lines, but is doable if the schedules work and requires a bit of backtracking. Both are great cities.
