I used night trains in Poland back when that was the option I could afford to travel. God, never again. Drunken people arguing, folks smoking cigarettes, thieves and bedbugs are only some of the attractions I've had to endure. I remember one time the ticket lady outright told me "i recommend not to fall asleep sir, they're stealing luggage here".
- m2fkxy 4y agoI suggest you hop on Russian, Finnish, Austrian or Swedish night trains to vastly improve your impression.
- brnt 4y agoRussians long haul trains have different compartments. Unless you make an effort, you won't 'sleep' steerage with the locals.
- cromka 4y agoHow long ago was that?
- slowmotiony 4y agoLike 10 years ago, but I still see the same exact trains going through the same routes, so it's hard to imagine much has changed since then. Maybe they hired some security, but I doubt the bedbugs would care.
