Hi,
Our group of 8 are looking to catch a night train from Lesce Bled to Munich next month.
However, the specific night train starts in Zagreb.
In the case of wanting to book reservations for couchettes, is there any way we can book them only for the Bled to Munich part of the route?
I\'ve tried online, but have had no results for when the starting point is Bled.
Is it possible to book couchette reservations for our group at the station in person at Bled?
Many thanks in advance :)

Hi and welcome to railcc!
As far as I know there currently is no online possibility to book these reservations. Of course it would be no problem to book only from Lesce Bled to Munich, you actually have to do it this way (a reservation which is not claimed within 15 minutes after departure will expire).
You can ring up Austrian Railways ÖBB at +43 5 17 17, order reservations (payment via credit card) and have them shipped to you.
It would be also possible to buy them locally (for instance at Lesce Bled station) but during the summer there is a risk of the train being full; especially since you are a larger group I would recommend booking well in advance.

Also, I have recently read that Croatian Railways HZPP (they are providing the coaches for this service) have currently a shortage of couchette carriages and that this train is operating without the couchette car at the moment. I cant tell when/if this will change in the near future.
Your best option right now is to contact one of the railway companies directly (for instance ÖBB as mentioned above) and try to make the couchette reservation for your travel day).
