Hello,
I live in Iasi and i plan to visit Simferopole this September. Is it possible somebody to give me an advice how i can reach to that place? I checked the route of the train Bucharest-Moscow but it is possible to take the connection in Bacău and get out in Kiev and then take the train from Kiev-SImferopole?
Many thanks in advance.

at least an interesting Q-beside all those kids worrying about no-possible online REServations.
Basically you have 2 ways:
1.as you describe-but its easier/much quicker/cheaper too to get of at LVIV and catch the daily overnite to the Krym from there. Board this train in Suceava- or, MUCH lower total price, get by minibus/share taxi Suceava-Chernivtsi-and on some dates in sept there MIGHt even be also a direct train to Krym. Check UZ.gov.com (+Ukraynska Zeleznice= Ukrayna railways for timings-its all in Cyrillic).
2.the basic other way is via Moldova- bus from borderpost just beyond Iasi to Chisinau-bus again to Odessa-then daily overntie, again UZ, or if youre determined rail-only, there is also the 1/day train via Transdnjestr to Odesa.
3. apparently it is now possible to book online any ticket on long-distance trains at some side-thing of uz.ua, but Ive never tried it nor know details. Some said it is even now also in english.

Ok many thanks for your reply. I have two more questions to answer:
1) Is it possible to board in the train from Bucharest-Kiev in Bacau or Suceava or i have to go to Bucharest?
2) When i book this ticket online here, i pay for the whole travel (Bucharest-Kiev) or only for the point i get on borad?
Many thanks again.

Hi.

1) The train Bucharest (dep. 06:12) to Kiev (arr. 09:18) departs in Bacau at 11:09 and in Suceava 13:27.

2) You pay only for the part you travel. Check [ux]https://rail.shop/realrussia[/ux] if you can book from Bacau/Suceava to Kiev.
Otherwise buy it at the station.

Peter :)
