The route
What the journey actually looks like
Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

- 56% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 44% involve one connection.
- How far it really runs
- The route covers 456 km against 450 km in a straight line, a detour of 1 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is
- Connections are made at Braşov, Târgu Mureş, Ploieşti, Cluj-Napoca. The gap between arriving and leaving is 61 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
- If the connection is missed
- The tightest connection we sell here has a 16 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Both legs are sold on one booking, so a missed connection is ours to fix and you are rebooked at no charge.
- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves Bucharest at 06:52 and the last at 17:03, across 7 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.
