I was recently surprised to find this map: https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/night-trains https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/t...
There totally are night trains, I just never knew of them. Only heard this talk on HN that they are a thing of the past in Europe, and I never looked further than that. Turns out there are night trains all over Europe, from the mediterranean sea to the arctic circle!
Taking a train through Russia is also a thing I've been thinking of doing, but then there's this wannabe-warlord situation messing up a lot of lives right now :/
- MengerSponge 4y agoThey stopped running a lot of the sleeper trains for a decade or two, due to subsidies and the resulting cheap flights. Depending on when you looked, there may not have been meaningful night train options.
- majewsky 4y agoLooks like Berlin-Paris (or rather, Frankfurt-Paris) is really a missing link here (pun not intended). Good to see ÖBB pick up the slack when DB won't. When the NightJet line opens next year, that sounds like a good opportunity to visit France once again.
