Bro, check this out! CFR Călători – yeah, the ones with trains that sometimes actually run – are adding two extra services on the Constanța - Mangalia route and back for the 'Beach, Please!' festival in Costinești. So between July 8 and 13, 2026, right when Playboi Carti, Future, Don Toliver, and the other 150 artists on the Nibiru stage are coming, they're like: 'Let's throw in another train so people don't end up waiting on the platform like it's the bread line in the '90s.'
Now, let me break it down: those trains are Regio, not ICE, but at least they're scheduled after the concerts – late hours, when everyone's already dead tired and drunk on music. You'll find the exact schedule on their site or at stations – 'cause you're not gonna memorize it, bro, it's not a receipt from Fane.
The organizers say they're expecting a RECORD number of attendees. Well, duh, that's why they're adding extra trains: so hundreds of kids don't end up stranded on the beach at 2 AM, singing 'Beach, Please!' in chorus with the seagulls. And this measure is to ensure safe and comfortable transport. Meaning no cramming like at a Steaua vs. Dinamo match, let's say.
Now, what do I say? Good on them, at least they're thinking of the poor folks who don't have BMWs to get to Costinești. Look, me, Mioara, and the kids – if we wanna go, we'll be standing in line at the station, like in the old days. But at least we've got this option, no need to hitchhike like in '98. So, pay attention: if you're out there, don't forget – the train is your friend, especially after you've seen Yeat tearing up the stage.
