Today , I`d been seen the topic , called "Impresii de calatorie" , and there is small topic "Linia 803. Medgidia - Negru Voda". I supposed that Negru Voda (in Bulgarian sounds like a "Cherna Voda") is the border Romanian railway station.On the other side in Bulgaria there is a border railway station Kardam , you can see some photos of this place.
From 15.06 to 06.09.2009 year , there move an international train EC 1131 / 1132 from Bucuresti Nord to Varna (via Negru Voda and Kardam), but for lack of enough advertisement in Bulgaria , the train was empty and stopped.On this adress you can see 1132 , who departures from central railway station Varna towards Dobrich , Kardam , Negru Voda , Medgidia and Bucuresti N.
On the last photo , you can see the timetable.Did you travel some of you with this train?

Can you give us the complete timetable of this train?

VESO_BG · Data inscrierii: 20/Sep/2009 Mesaje: 63 Locatie: Bulgaria

Unfortunately I don`t know the correct timetable , because the train changed it every time. For example - the arriving (1st July) will be in 16:00 at Svilengrad - border railway station between Bulgaria and Turkey , but the train comes from Turkey at 19:30 and in 21:00 had came on railway station Dimitrovgrad.On central railway station Plovdiv came at 23:53.On 2nd and 3rd July the train has stand on the station and on 4th July continued its trip towards Sofia.Today - 5th July , I think that the train is coming in Romania , crossed the central railway station Ruse last night and through Danube bridge has entered in border railway station Giurgiu Nord and ran to Bucuresti Nord.

Finally , at this moment , I`m not sure , but think that the train must be run somewhere in Romania.
