I'm planning an trip on the overnight train from Prague to Budapest this summer. The only is I can't seem to find any cheap fares on the overnight train all the way through. The ideal situation would be to do the following:
Book Prague-Šturovo with the Czech Railways (~£20, e-ticket available)
Book Šturovo-Vác as a Local Border Traffic Ticket (€3.80)
Book Vác-Budapest with the Hungarian Railways (~£2.50, e-ticket available)
I'd be happy to leave the couchette at Šturovo as the train reaches there at about 7am. The only issue is that tickets for the middle portion aren't available online as far as I can tell, and I won't have the opportunity to visit a Slovak ticket desk to buy the ticket. Does anyone know if I would be able to buy the ticket on the train or are they likely to boot me off at Šturovo?
