Status
The current IR 16015/16016 pair covers the 209km Bucuresti-Craiova corridor in roughly 4h06-4h09m, replacing the older 9911/9918 pair which ran 4h24-4h34m -- a real, sourced improvement, not a future modernization projection.

Status
A well-documented reliability incident: a Bucuresti-Craiova train once took nearly 8 hours to cover the 209km route against a scheduled time of a little over 4 hours -- worth knowing this corridor has had real, reported delay problems, not just a headline duration.
