I'd be fascinated; it'll be interesting to compare with the five sleeper
services I've used in four different countries (five if you count Scotland) >> over the last three years.
You have me beat; I use the sleepers in Romania regularly, including the international services to Moldova and Hungary/Austria, but it's been a
few years since I took any others.
I'm taking train number 9, which apparently has the newest ('Chinese
made') rolling stock; first class was fully booked already 3 weeks in advance, but 2nd Class AC was available - no private compartments but
flat beds with curtains. Very much looking forward to it, should be a
fun experience...
