Orient Express 2013

Hey Vancho, can you show us the route through Bulgaria ? On a map if it is possible...

Here is the photo let me explain the colors :
The red line is the route this year (from Paris to Istanbul via Varna)
The yellow line is the route on the way from Istanbul to Paris
The dark green line is the route when Stara zagora-Yambol is not closed for modernisation as it it right now. Hope it's clear

Thank you Vancho, I just saw a map on a romanian television which states that the one of the stops is Burgas :shock: so is better to ask just in case  I know about the reabilitation works in Bulgaria so I didn't know wich route this train will follow.

Anyway, on the way back from Istanbul, the train stops in Veliko Tarnovo or other place ? Plovdiv in the future will be nice.

This train exactly is not stopping anywhere on the way back. There is another one in October (thing it's called Nostalgia) who is stopping in Veliko Tarnovo but it's organised by same company like this journey

p.s. My personal opinion is that the line Dabovo-Gorna oryahovitsa is worth watching at daylight and it's a pitty they go there through the night. There are beautiful views near some lake Tsonevo passing the Stara planina mountain between Sindel and Karnobat but the route Gorna oryahovitsa-Dabovo is far better. Though those passangers travelling with Orient express don't care about for example if there will be a steam locomotive or the views.

I have the same opinion in this matter, I know Bulgaria and the Bulgarian railways. Seems that the routes through Romania and Bulgaria are spectacular in manny points so in the future definatelly this kind of tourism will grow.

Chiar acest tren are rangul EC?

Pana acum cativa ani a circulat un tren EN cu denumirea de Orient Expres insa era un tren normal cu circulatie zilnica si nu avea ruta prin Romania. Candva, inclusiv in perioada comunista, chiar a avut.

Eu am mers cu el in ultimul an in care a circulat , asa este era EN si mergea pe ruta Paris Est-Munchen-Viena , eu am mers cu el pe relatia Munchen-Viena , avea vagoane SNCF si OBB . Sa tot fie de atunci peste 6 ani .

Stie cineva de ce VSOE a plecat din GdN cu 2 GM-uri sii nu cu doar unu?

In zona haltei Oncest e o rampa destul de mare si un singur GM ar trage trenul destul de greu.

Sunt curios cum le merge AC ul in cele 13 vagoane .. mai ales ca GM urile sunt un pic deficitare la generat curent pentru 13 vagoane =)) ...
Si pana acum se pare ca nimeni nu stie raspunsul la problema... Pot fi legate 2 generatoare de la 2 locomotive GM in paralelel,cu cele 13 vagoane.

Şi ce număr va avea? 12002 / 12002-1?

EC 12001-2

12001-2 nu a avut acum, la dus? O să aibă acelaşi număr şi la întoarcere? Parcă anul trecut a avut numere diferite.
