Again night trains are descibed in an article in the press (Stern) as “Einsteigen, einschlafen, aufwachen, aussteigen”. (“Board, sleep, wake up, disembark”) That is not how night trains work except in lucky cases where the journey is precisely so long that you board at bedtime and arrive around 7–9 or so in the morning. For longer journeys you either are awake for several hours before a reasonable bedtime, or you arrive around noon or even later. And that is how it has always been. #nightTrain
🇨🇿🇸🇰🚂🚃🚃🛌 A wonderful #nighttrain trip is coming up. With EN 443 "Slovakia" from #Prague🇨🇿 to #Košice🇸🇰 we are crossing two beautiful countries by night in a comfy #ČD🇨🇿 deluxe sleeper compartment with shower and toilet ensuite 😍! Good Night🌜 everyone!
The four of us had a 4-person compartment (=1st class): OK beds, handy sleeping bag, wifi and power sockets on board. Comfort therefore fine, were it not for the announcements, and the lack of coffee....
So a 7/10
"Actually, the business case of the #Nighttrain doesn’t quite addup," explains #IDE alumnus Annabelle Out. That’s why Annabelle designed a carriage interior for both day and night trains as part of her graduation project for the #Engineering firm Royal HaskoningDHV.
Tempting: a #Stockholm-#Milan route involving a #TGV9211. #ICE71 punctuality stands at 52 % though... (Not sure why DB refuses to sell #EC323 available from Trenitalia.)
Taking the SJ #EuroNight#nighttrain from Stockholm to Berlin tonight. The train left on time at 17:34, but we are still in Södertälje Syd because of an electrical failure between here and Gnesta. There is no information on when the train can proceed. Have a #sleeper cabin, hoping to wake up in Germany. Always exciting to #interrail!
#Tegenlicht van @vprotegenlicht gezien. Over de belabberde staat van dienst van het internationale personenvervoer op het #Spoor. Vroeger was het echt beter. In één ruk naar Rome of Moskou. Ik word daar toch wel beetje droevig van, ondanks de inspanningen van de Oostenrijkse #ÖBB.
🇦🇹🤝🇮🇹 Today's wonderful #ÖBB🇦🇹 #Nightjet-service №233 to #LaSpezia🇮🇹 left #Vienna🇦🇹 right on time. We enjoy this special 16h #nighttrain-trip to the breathtaking coast of #Italy's Cinqueterre in a DOUBLE sleeper🌜 compartment and already chose our items for the breakfast🥐! Egg noodles with cheese🧀 was our dinner for today 😍!
are there any good websites to travel accross Europe, taking into account night trains ? I plan to travel from Bruxelles to København in June, but I can't find much.... (e.g. the one below suggests a travel mainly during the night, but with 5 transfers.. during the night !). I mean night train where we sleep... #nighttrain
So pleased there are night trains into #Germany from #Sweden, the network is growing! There's a certain romanticism that has never left the #NightTrain, often economic benefits, and SO. MUCH. LESS. CO2 compared to flying!
I look forward to making the most of them next year 😊
It was a huge mistake by Deutsche Bahn to discontinue the Berlin-Paris night train...so it's a wonderful turn of events that ÖBB has led the push to start the connection again.
A new sleeper service between Berlin and Paris arrived in the French capital on Tuesday 12 December, reflecting a growing drive for night trains as an alternative to short-haul flights.
The 14-hour nocturnal trip from the German to the French capital is to run three times a week, and is scheduled to become daily from October next year.
I got my #37C3 ticket but it's so hard to #StayGrounded in this season. The SJ #NightTrain is full in one direction and only 240 € beds are available in the other...
I love #trains . I love the #nighttrain even more. But neither the Swedish nor the Norwegian rail seems to value that.
Train carriages from the stone age. Narvik-Stockholm night train today: Two locomotives broke down. With -25C outside rapidly getting cold. 3 hour delay. Gonna miss all my onward connections to CPH. Most trains to CPH during the day fully booked.
If we want people to swap planes with the trains, we HAVE to do something about the rotting infrastructure.
🇸🇮🚂🚃🚃🏔🌫 What an amazing way to wake up! Good morning, this is EN 40237 from #Stuttgart🇩🇪 all the way to #Zagreb🇭🇷. While winding through the southern Alps🏔 on the way to #Ljubljana🇸🇮, breakfast was served in my HŽ🇭🇷 sleeper compartment: Coffee & Žemlja! #nighttrain#nachtzug
🇩🇪🇸🇮🚂🚃🚃🌜 Good night everyone from my Single sleeper compartment on #EuroNight service №40237, which will depart with +20min from #Augsburg🇩🇪. It will be a wonderful #nighttrain ride through the #Alps🏔 crossing four countries 🇩🇪🇦🇹🇸🇮🇭🇷. I'll go no further than #Ljubljana🇸🇮. #Nachtzug
Just booked a trip to London (from Berlin). BA cost me 250€ return. Sleeper train would have cost 850€. That's just too much, even in return for doing my bit towards saving the planet :(
