Looking at booking Stuttgart-Budapest overnight (EN 50237) in mid-September, it is showing on oebb.at as "booked up" every day between the 1st and 27th of September as far as I can tell. I'm hoping this is just some sort of temporary block on booking tickets. Is this the case or am I actually just too late? If there's any other source I could be checking or to confirm this, or anyone knows when booking might be available, it would be much appreciated!

I found it to book up very quickly when I looked at doing it a few years ago and ended up instead doing Stuttgart to Ljubljana on the Zagreb portion which didn't book up as quickly.Looking at booking Stuttgart-Budapest overnight (EN 50237) in mid-September, it is showing on oebb.at as "booked up" every day between the 1st and 27th of September as far as I can tell.

Oh dear, I'm amazed it seems to be completely booked, in both directions, for so many days already! Thank you though that's a good tip, I am ultimately trying to get to Bucharest so looks like via Villach could be an option (albeit a bit longer/less convenient)
I'm pretty sure they have blocked out bookings for September. The Zurich to Budapest sleeper is also the same, they must be expecting some disruption on the route. I recently booked a completely separate nightjet journey and they blocked it out the morning after I booked it, and then reopened it a few weeks later. In that case it was because of uncertainty about the new nightjet stock being available. In the case of the Zurich to Budapest sleeper, when I checked they had availability in August but not September, which is telling. I wish they wouldn't use misleading language like "booked up" when it isn't.

Thanks, that would be great news if the case, it's the fact that the 28th September is bookable that had me worried it wasn't just a sales blockStuttgart-Budapest can currently be booked until 31/8. Dates after that show up as "booked up", but in this case that really means "No data available" and bookings haven't even been opened.
