Een nuttige aanvulling, maar aankomst in Hamburg om 6u57? Da’s wel wat vroeg voor mijn recreatieve reizen… Ontbijt in de lounge dan maar? 😉
Heeft/deelt European Sleeper eigenlijk ergens first class lounges?

Let's see how this is going to play out. Heading from Hamburg to Narvik by train this night. Maybe. Departure 01:37. If I'm lucky and the weather sticks to its forecast, I might be able to stay ahead of it. #interrail #CrossBorderRail #sleepertrains #Zugpost

The GWR Night Riviera was a lot of fun. The room was plenty big enough for a solo traveler, and the shower in the lounge at Penzance was appreciated.

Why Europe’s night-train renaissance derailed.

Aging carriages, high costs and reluctant incumbents choked off the night-train revival — even as passengers clamour for more.

The national rail giants best placed to invest see night services as money losers, while the newcomers hungry to run them can’t finance the expensive, highly specialized equipment.

Not usually at Utrecht Centraal this late, so stopped to take photos of the Nightjet to Zürich and Basel.

Why is the train so empty? Is it normal for less than a quarter of the train to be filled at this point?
I've been interested in booking but it has always been so expensive and sold out. Does it fill up more in Köln?

Welcome to the future of European sleeper trains http://dlvr.it/TLHJGN #Europe #RailNews #SleeperTrains #NoxMobility

France saw record night train passengers in 2024, but can it keep up with booming demand?

Sleeper trains are undeniably the transport of the moment right now. New routes have received a flurry of media attention, and travellers are bumping a night on the rails to the top of their bucket lists.

While these soaring passenger numbers should be a positive sign, France’s limited fleet of trains can’t cope with the demand.

Over the years meetings around Europe forced me to #fly in one day ahead and sleep one night at a nearby hotel.

This year I finally realized I could take a #train , sleep one night somewhere along the route and complete the journey with another train the next day. It won’t work all of the times but will considerably reduce my bookings with #airlines .

Increased availability of #SleeperTrains across Europe will deepen further my reliance on #railways for long, cross national journeys.

Hi @jon do you have any advice on the London-Berlin day train and London-Venice sleeper train routes? How reliable are they? Are they well-established European infrastructure we can rely on, or are they still at the holiday adventure stage? Thank you.

Inside ‘Rail Force One’: The Trains That Take World Leaders to #Ukraine

With airspace closed and missiles flying, visiting Kyiv typically means 10 hours on bumpy tracks — even for presidents, prime ministers and business magnates. It’s plenty of time to reflect.

#SleeperTrains are unfortunately absolutely unusable for academic conferences. Most sleeper trains arrive after 9. Most conferences begin at 9. So saving one night in a hotel does not work.

So either conferences or sleeper trains should change their schedules.

Both would work. Starting the first conference day at noon and finishing the last day in the evening or getting on the train at 17:00 instead of 21:00 and arriving earlier.

(guess this is similar for other meetings)
