Awesome video as always, thanks for putting it together for us! With the sh*tshow OBB/DB are putting on with the NightJet, I have a feeling EuropeanSleeper is going to get a lotttt of customers.

@seat61 3 ай бұрын

On paper, ÖBB has more clout and experience and Nightjet has the newer equipment. But you're right, European Sleeper seems to me to be a fairly robust operation, between the Paris and Brussels, Vienna and Berlin portions, the Brussels-Berlin Nightjet seems to be much less reliable.

Is there a luggage storage/shelf? Where do we put the luggage if we take the 5/6 couchette 🤔

@seat61 22 күн бұрын

Under the bottom berth, or in the huge recess for luggage above the door to the corridor.

@harri2626 3 ай бұрын

I know it's early days, but I'm concerned about the lack of passengers. Sole use of a 5-berth couchette is not a good sign. I'm due to ride the full route in May in a sole-use sleeper so I hope they have better patronage by then.

@omn30 3 ай бұрын

It's possible to fully book a couchette room to have it all to yourself, which is what he most likely did.

@seat61 3 ай бұрын

I made full filming use of being alone from Brussels to Antwerp, where 1 more passenger got on. Then in Amsterdam at 22:30 3 more got on. Full compartment. All but me got off in Berlin, so I’m then alone to Prague, on the first train to go beyond Berlin. Total 400 passengers on board. You mustn’t always take what you see at face value!

Hello there! I am a nearly 66 year old female with some dodgy bits about the body and use a walking stick. I would like some advice please on how to get where I want to go with the minimum of fuss! Tall order I know but such is life ! For some time now, I have wanted to travel throughout Italy by train but obviously not during the high summer months due to heat and crowds. Also, I do not want to travel throughout the night as I would miss all the lovely scenery! I know the routes I may need to take such as Eurostar from St Pancreas to France and onwards from there. But I should like to stop over at a various places near the stations so if anyone can give some guidance I would be grateful. I am more than happy to consider all or any routes with detours if necessary. And if there is a European Rail Card which one would I need. Thanking you in anticipation, kind regards from Boadicea. Safe travels to all. 🙋🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🙂

I think they have no nutrient options for food. It's called sticking your head out the window. However in the countryside you might inhale a cow fart. Which is an animal product. See your "not on this planet" practitioner, urgently, after your psychiatrist, obviously. Pip pip.

@thebearcouncil8810 3 ай бұрын

Technically it's plant solids and water, but calling it milk makes it easier to identify what it is used for, and it fits better on the package. Plus it has a milky look to it. If we were to be purist with language, it would also be wrong to call ground and heated peanuts peanut butter.
