Oh i spent some time on the trains there and it was hit or miss. Took a lovely clean train from Brasov to Bucharest.. but then my next train from Bucharest to Constanta, had no AC(this was July), smelled, no food car, and was SLOW.. when i mean SLOW, i mean the trip took 5hrs, instead of the posted 3hrs..

Just a few things to people, dont bother to buy first class tickets for Romanian trains, there is NO DIFFERENCE between first and 2nd class. At the Gare du Nord station in Bucharest, you need to have a train ticket to go inside the station(where the ATM, McDonalds, thieves, beggers, pickpockets) if you dont have a ticket, and you look like a tourist you can get a fine, its not a big fine, but more of a hassle..

I learned from my travels while the trains in Germany are as nice as domestic USA flights, that busses are better transport option than trains in eastern europe.. Still that didnt explain my Turkish vodka/cigarette smuggeling bus I took to get to Bulgaria..

Ahhh its a lovely country for sure, and the Transylvania region is awesome, but be strong as the trip will have a few hiccups for sure!!
