During my trip through Romania and Hungary I'm gonna need to get from Timișoara (Romania) to Budapest.
There are buses of course, but, conveniently, there's also a train connecting two cities, which I'd prefer to take.
However, while booking using the train company's site I encountered a note saying
Please note that home printing of international tickets is not possible. International tickets booked online must be collected at any of the Ticket Collection Points located at railway stations in Hungary before your journey. Passengers travelling without a collected ticket must purchase a new ticket on board and pay penalty.
I found a page with a list of these Ticket Collection Points, and, it seems, all of them are located at Hungarian stations.
Has anyone had an experience booking MÁV train tickets online traveling from Romania? Is there an option to pick up the online ticket at a local ticket office at the Timișoara station? Or is physically going to the station and buying a ticket (not booking online) the only way to get aboard?
