Hi

I would like to travel during night from Kosice to Krakow on 30-03-2018, but can\'t book the right tickets...

My connection:

Kosice ab 22:07 EN 442 EuroNight Richtung: Praha hl.n.
Reservierungspflicht (Zilina --> Bohumin), Zug führt Autotransportwagen , Fahrradmitnahme reservierungspflichtig , in Sitzwagen nur 2. Klasse , Schlafwagen , Liegewagen , Rollstuhlstellplatz , Laptop-Steckdosen , Kleinkindabteil
+ 1 Tag
Bohumin an 03:06
Umsteigezeit 16 Min.
Umsteigezeit anpassen
Bohumin ab 03:22 EN 406
EIC 406 EuroNight Richtung: Warszawa Wschodnia
Reservierungspflicht , in Sitzwagen nur 2. Klasse , Schlafwagen , Liegewagen , Laptop-Steckdosen
Verkehrt als EN 406 bis Zebrzydowice, danach als EIC 406
Krakow Glowny an 06:23


It it not surprise that I can not buy a through ticket online - but I can not split it either...
Kosice-Bohumin are sold on slovakrail.sk
Ostrava-Krakow are sold on cd.cz - but not Bohumin-Krakow...
My problem is that the train will be at Bohumin from 02:17 to 03:22 - and I will arrive in Bohumin at 03:06 - long after the departure from Ostrava... Can I do this, or can the staff give away me bed to others as it look like a no-show from me...
Any idea how to book it - and I am living in Denmark so to buy it at a station is not an option...

Kind regards

Kim Rasmussen

Hi Kim

quick answer for tonight: I dont know the solution to your problem. :(
You might try [ux]https://rail.shop/polrail[/ux] but they will be more expensive than CD (probably no Vcasna jizdenka Evropa available).
Anyway, you should only be able to book a seat for the trip from Ostrava/Bohumin to Krakow if I\'m not mistaken - since it is such a short journey and travellers from Prague shouldnt be disturbed in the middle of the night.
And I dont think that the conductors will have a list with seat bookings (they do have lists with couchette/sleeper bookings as you probably know) so I dont think that you would lose your seat when buying from Ostrava but entering at Bohumin.
You might also contact CD support directly.
Or what about taking the Leo Express night train to Ostrava [ux]https://rail.shop/leoexpress[/ux] , then the first EC in the morning to Katowice and onwards to Krakow? Travel time 2310 - 1027, albeit with a wait from 0426 to 0558 in Ostrava Svinov.

Hi Flo

Thanks a lot - your answer make sense for me.
From Ostrava I am able to book a sleeper, but it make sense that it will be blocked later in the night from Bohumin...
For me this is bad, I will like a sleeper, and have to be in the airport for a return-back-home-flight before 10:00 am, so the LeoExpress is not an option.

Again thanks for a good reply

Hmm...like I said I would consider contacting CD directly at info@cd.cz.
Cant think of any other option right now. Problem with the CD online booking option is that you can (de)select certain types of trains only for the whole route (A to B via C), not from A to C or C to B.
