Hoping someone might be able to help out with some advice. I need an overnight train from Vienna to Krakow. I really like to have my tickets before I go so I don't have to worry about buying them there, but don't want to over pay to much.
Ok so here's the question, raileurope.com (which I know overcharges) is no longer giving any 2nd class fare quotes from now till May 20 which is the date I need for my overnight Vienna to Krakow. I tried a few weeks ago and tried my dates but in April because it was too soon and it said $79 for 2nd class, now I think I've tried every date from now till then and they only have first class.
So do you think it will be difficult for me to book the ticket when I get into Vienna on the 18, with only 2 days notice, and will I have any trouble buying the ticket? do they speak english at the train station? I only need a second class seat, I don't find I sleep any better in a couchette so I don't want to pay for one.
Thanks
