I'm looking to travel from Prague to Krakow via a sleeper train.
DB Bahn website has found me one on the 30th September, but it states that it 'runs not every day, 21. Sep until 1. Oct 2014' on the search result.
Does this mean the train is not running between these two periods? What days is it actually running on?
Can anyone please help? Thanks
I checked also the Czech train website: you will be boarding train in Prague which goes to Humenne, Slovakia and the train will have direct carriages to Krakow. Those will be disconnected from the train in Bohumin and put together with the carriages from Vienna and then continue to Krakow. Czech website says it will arrive to Krakow at 6:23, Deutsche Bahn says at 6:31. The difference is not substantial and I would not be bothered by that. Czech website says that the train to Humenne goes every day but direct carriages to Krakow only until October 9th. That means it goes every day until October 9th.
According to the Deutsch Bahn, there isn't a direct night train from Prague to Krakow at this time. I believe someone had mentioned track work being done. Anyways, if you did the train at night, it would take about 8 hours but you would have a change in the middle of the night. check www.bahn.com for schedules. I wouldn't worry too much about the notes that say "not running..." We've had many questions about this before and after talking with DB, they informed us that if DB posts the route, it is running. I hope this helps some.
Thanks for the good responses, much appreciated!
Indeed, Deutsche Bahn is now showing that you have to change trains in Bohumin. Half an hour ago it was showing it as a direct train. Nevertheless Czech website is still showing it as a direct train. So, which one to believe? Well I would check it once I arrive in Prague in Main Train Station there.
