The train connects with the Bosphorus Express at Dimitrovgrad, Bulgaria and continues to İstanbul. HistoryThe Balkan Express was launched on 1 January 1916[1] as a sleeping car service between Berlin and Istanbul. The twice weekly service had a schedule of 58 hours for the {{convert|1200|mi|km}},[2] and it ran through Dresden, Vienna, Belgrade and Sofia. Departures were from Berlin on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and Istanbul on Tuesdays and Saturdays.[3] The train was discontinued in October 1918.[4] From 1927 the name was given to a train service between the Hook of Holland and Istanbul.[5] With a connecting London and North Eastern Railway service from London Liverpool Street to boat train at Harwich, the journey time from London to Constantinople was 70 hours and 8 minutes. In 1935, the service was accelerated and three hours was cut from the schedule.[6] In May 1955 a new Balkan Express was launched from Vienna via Graz and Belgrade (avoiding Bulgaria) to Athens and Istanbul.[7] The current Balkan Express between İstanbul and Belgrade, calling at Edirne, Plovdiv and Sofia was launched in 1971.
