Distance from Belgrade to Timsoara

A lot of people search the web for the distance from Belgrade to Timisoara, and they end up getting a page on this blog that's quite different.

For reference, I took the train from Belgrade to Timisoara in October of 2008. The length of the trip was four hours according to travel guides and train schedules I found, but the train (as many in Eastern Europe do) ended up being late. The trip actually took six hours total, and seven hours by the clock (there's a time zone change on the way).

I don't know the actual distance from point to point, but it's probably not relevant information. Trip time has more to do with logistics (conditions, delays, border crossings, checkpoints) than mileage.
