	Author : Tonyt (2.28.144.---)  posts : 260 Date : 12-08-11 21:39 Hi, the programme I use is www.razpisanie.bdz.bg obviously click the EN icon. Select Departure then destination, when this comes up ignore the Bulgarian writing,scroll down a little and there are your trains for a day. If you click on the number under train, this will give you a list of all stations and timings for the journey. My first time of using in Varna Area, I printed off and ticked the stations off as we passed them, many stations have no name plates. I have never booked in advance, but there again I have not used the express sleepers. Cheers. Tonyt.

	Author : June Fletcher (2.24.94.---)  posts : 475 Date : 12-12-11 10:18 My advise to you would be to hire a car, the airport is not in the centre of Plovdiv so it would mean that you have to get to the centre, then you have the choice of bus or train, the train is slow and most are dirty as mama carol says first class is the best way to travel on them, but again you are limited as you are travelling from Plovdiv and not Sofia. The bus is quicker, but both of these options are going to take a lot of time up for you, there are some very good deals about on hire cars, and its not a bad drive from there and very straight forward as its now mostly motorway. Have a good trip

Sune P.S. The bus station south in Plovdiv is near the train station, the western one is on the other side of the river.
