Living in Berlin & my wife's family being in Vienna, I'm really disappointed by the canceling of the sleeper train service between the cities - you used to be able get on at the evening on one end, get a good night's sleep in the (comfortable!) bunkbeds & wake up in the early morning in your destination. I've tried doing the same trip via bus and it was a nightmare, mostly due to me not being able to sleep on bus seats but also bumpier ride & I can't as comfortably read on a bus as on a train. Additionally there is no high speed connection directly between Vienna and Berlin (it would have went through the Czech Republic which is probably the reason?), if you want that you have to go via Munich which negates a lot of the speed benefit vs taking the direct but lower speed route via Prague. All around frustrating situation considering these 2 large cities are not all that far apart geographically.
