Hi everyone, I'll be off to Moldova soon, the least visited country in Europe. Since information on the internet about Moldovan trains is very sparce, I hope someone here will be able to assist me with some questions I have.
1. I'll be taking a local train (#828SZ Ungheni - Chişinau) from a small station in Moldova which very likely has no ticket office (Bucovăț). Just to be sure: can I buy a ticket from the guard? Can I just sit down and wait for the guard to come to me or do I have to go to him/her right away?
2. I've found a very interesting itinerary from Iași to Chişinau with a 9 minute change in Ungheni from a regional Romanian train (1062) onto train 341FJ from Moscow to Chişinau, which I would like to try in the future. Would it be possible to buy the train ticket from the provodnik or do I have to go to the ticket office?
3. I might decide to return to Bucharest from Bălți. Would it be possible to buy a ticket to Bucharest at the station there or at Ungheni?
Hopefully somebody here knows more about train travel in Moldova. All help is much appreciated!
