What's your source for "the direct train route" no longer being available? Seat61 claims there is indeed no direct connection by train, but the service still exists, and is temporarily and partially replaced by a bus connection. Is that not sufficient?

It's indeed partially replaced by a bus connection and has become very cumbersome.

It may be difficult to buy tickets in Turkey because most booking sites require both a Turkish ID number and Turkish format phone number. At busbud we've solved this for domestic routes, I'll check into getting this international route.
HAS Turizm has a special booking site for their routes to "Bulgaristan" which seems to allow bookings for a maximum of about a month in advance but may not accept foriegn number formats.- You can also book the HAS Turizm bus on booking site Biletall which generally works for foreigners though you may have problems entering your phone number.
