Trip to with the newly built train from ALSTOM
I had a pleasant journey to Brasov with this brand new train from CFR(Cãile Ferate Române). It is the first new built train to be put on railways in 30 years in Romania
So I jumped to this train for a one day ski trip in Poiana Brasov.
Here are some facts about this train:
Train: IR 16001
Leaves at 6.31 AM from line 7 (almost always line 7)
Arrives at 8.59 AM in Brasov at line 4*
*Brasov rail station is under major changes because they are rebuilding the platforms and the whole rail infrastructure.
Ticket price is RON 65.5/Euro 13
On Week days the train is almost empty
but on week-end Is quite full.
I think it is a considerable long train with its 8 carriages but
In weekends these 8 carraiges are filling up and seem not enough.
Travel conditions:
USB and 220V socket under and between the two seats.
There are very clean toilets.
Tip for skitravelers
BUS 100 is the shuttle that.goes to the ski resort.
You can take the bus from the shuttle station right side when exit the railstation.
