I just tried to purchase this ticket for a trip in early September. I had no luck on the Hungarian site, and that was after registering, and trying every trick in the book.
I wanted a 2 person sleeper car. It appears that the Hungarian site above, only allows purchase of regular seats, no sleepers or couchettes. I did find a reference in another forum that it no longer sells the sleepers on their website.
Anyway, I WAS able to book this via the, fairly straight forward Czech site: http://czech-transport.com/index.php...ickets&lang=en
I paid an extra 25E to have the tickets Fedexed to me in advance. The other options were to pick them up in Prague (which makes no sense, since I'll be in Budapest) or they will send to my hotel. I decided the shipping cost is worth it.
