14:39 On some of the UK sleepers, you're allowed to sleep in for a bit if your train arrives early in the morning.

That was interesting and honest, unlike some reviews. You are right about the future of environment travel, and Governments need to support it.

Oh my, I used the siège inclinable a lot in my youth, late 90s. Mostly to Strasbourg. The coach has no changed a bit since then!

Small tip, if 6 is too early, take the train to La Tour de Carol until around 7am and head back with the morning commuters into Toulouse, where you should be around 8, then. E.g. continue to Saverdun at 7, the next train should be only 30' wait, by 8:18 you're back in Toulouse Matabiau. Heck, with a bit of luck, you'll catch the train half an hour early if you're quick and the TER is slightly delayed... An hour extra to sleep makes such a difference...

Thank you for your videos. I do agree with you 100%. We need more night trains in Europe. Good luck!

For travel between cities that are not too far apart, trains make a lot of sense. You go from one city center to the other, no hourlong ride to and from an airport. You don't need an IFE screen because you have interesting scenery looking out the window. And when trains use electricity instead of thousands of gallons of fuel, that benefits the planet. Even if the electricity is generated by fossil fuels, rail travel uses energy far more efficiently.

Taking the overnight train from Paris to Andorra next week. Can’t wait! Best way to travel! I did the Night Riviera a few months ago and didn’t sleep too well but sleeper trains are fun! Thanks for the vid.

3:38 Maybe that's the train driver :P

Très bonne vidéo comme d'habitude. Continue comme cela !😃

I like this video, i work on the international train from amsterdam to germany and we hope to have a sleeper train at the end of this year. I also have to work on that and I cant wait! 😁😁😊 anyway your videos are always fantastic and this one is also great! Offcourse it is not the VR in Finnland but still.. also the 1st class, indeed it looks like a hostel🙈 but you had some nice contact and that is also great about train traveling👍

Thank you so much for all your vidéos !!!!!!!

In Portugal we have corail coachs too in Intercity(IC) trains

A great and enlightened report -- merci beaucoup!

Great effort for your first report. Keep safe.

Excellent video! Everything was really informative,. Thanks!

I sometimes take this train to Biarritz when I drive to Spain, that way I can sleep and make progress at the same time haha

Some nice idioms - "prevent fall fence" haha good one. But seriously that was first class?? Bro - it looked like a student hostel at best :) Bon nuit!

Very useful video, thanks!

Great video! I was surprised you were walking around the train in socks. :))) Wonderful overview of this night train.

The caption I've read was so funny and wholesome... _"3 roommates were with me; one French couple & one lonely Englishman (He was a funny btw)"_

Aaah le métro de Paris... J'ai lu un livre sur tout ses secrets lignes par lignes...c'est génial ! Sinon super vidéo, continue comme ça!

Trop génial!!! 👍👌👌

J'ai regardé cette vidéo 4 fois déjà, c'est beau

Great review dude, now i want to do a trip with it 😂😎

Beautiful video bravo. I love your videos

Very nice informative video. Thank you. Australia.

I can tell you and SNCF have a great business-to-customer relationship! I was using sarcasm if people couldn’t tell.

Cool video, you will get a train similar to our Russian long-distance trains, we also have cars with sleeping cars in a restaurant. And there are even two-story long-distance trains where there are wagons with berths, compartment wagons, there is a shower restaurant where you can wash yourself before bedtime. So I advise if. destiny. in Russia to make a video about our Russian long-distance trains of Russian Railways.

very entertaining videos..keep it up!

I remember the snef trains well when I traveled to Spain the first two times with my family when I was a kid and that was going back to the 80s

Les notification sont de retour pour moi ah mais je l’ai déjà vu cette vidéo

Glad to see the Englishman doing me proud

Very nice!!!

Great video! Wish I could travel with a sleeper train, but in Spain, just like in France, they're cutting off all of the conventional material just for the High Speed Trains... So because of that there are only around 6 Sleeper services every night... Sad!

Bit of a joke really, calling it first class and sharing with three strangers, with no toilet facilities.... great.

I really enjoyed this trip. Nothing escapes the material and comfort tester. Yes, I too really miss the night trains. Sometimes I used to talk about the bunks on our French trains as "sleeping boards" and it was true! Well, thanks to this documentary, I can see that the comfort of the bunks has increased a little bit.

Canada used to have night trains between Montreal and Toronto. Normally a four+-hour trip, the night train would park on a siding for 2 or 3 hours to kill time, so you wouldn't be arriving at your destination at 4 am.

Super intéressante ta vidéo ! Je n'ai pris qu'une seule fois un train de nuit et c'était en Russie ; j'avais trouvé ça vraiment sympa comme concept. Malheureusement je ne prends quasiment plus de train en France (surtout TGV) depuis plusieurs années, les prix étant vraiment prohibitifs quand on a aucune carte de réduction et l'arrivée du covoiturage a permis une plus grande mobilité et souplesse dans la manière de se déplacer d'un lieu à un autre. J'utilise cependant beaucoup les transports en commun en Île-de-France ! Mais c'est toujours agréable de voyager en train malgré tout ;)

I took one of those 6 bunk berths to Toulouse on a high school field trip. Good memories.

Perfect video very LOVE TRAIN SNCF ❤❤💥💥💥👍👍👍👍 THANK YOU BYE

Very nice trip report

Long train journeys are not to reach a destination, they are a journey in itself. In this age of high speed it has just become about reaching a destination. Sleeper train is one reason i love travelling by them here in India, i don't mind the long hours honestly. Night trains also make total sense, you end your day travel at night and reach your destination in the morning, best utilization of time

I took a night train from Austerlitz to Hendaye once in the 1980s, but I was in a 2nd class compartment . It was a nice journey. Hope the night trains can be revived.

I love the idea of sleeping on a train so much i wish there was some in my local areas but there isnt

Super trip report ! 👍🏻 hâte de te voir découvrir les futures lignes de train de nuit qui seront réouvertes dans les années à venir 😉

😍 Polt (Paris Orléans Limoges Toulouse)

Super !

Somehow I think the managers of SNCF only take the train when they have to. And then it's Thalys or TGV, I think they prefer to fly.

14:40 The record I've had so far for the earliest overnight train is the 1 from Lao Cai (in Vietnam) that reaches Hanoi @ 5 a.m.

Très bonne vidéo, ça fait plaisir de voir des fans du train de nuit! J'ai eu l'occasion de le prendre aussi pour me rendre à Toulouse (en siège inclinable ou par miracle j'ai réussi à dormir) ainsi que dans l'Ariège en direction de Latour de Carol. Tu comptes l'emprunter de nouveau? Une vidéo sur un trajet en direction de Rodez, Albi, Cerbère ou Briançon ça pourrait etre pas mal! Bonne continuation à toi ;)

I have used sleepers in Norway and Sweden and loved it. When I was a kid there use to be a sleeper service between Adelaide and Melbourne but they only have it as a day service and probably won't exist beyond 3 years now :-(

That was beautiful train

I love how he just bangs on the bathroom door to fix it and that proves that if something is broken bang on it and it will fix it or break it more

Thank you for taking us along! Very helpful information. Glad to hear recent news of the return of night trains in France. Ps is the engine electric, until Toulouse?

J'adore les trains Corail!

1:27 true! Even though the TGV is awesome, the old classic trains are important and cool too!

Thanks for the video, I remember wekll my first Vorsichtig from Nancy to Paris and back back in the 80s....And Germany cut down the night trains after reducing the service. My wife with our children travelled from Berlin to Bratislava in the former nighttrain to Bissfest. From Berlin to Prag the Czech stuff did talk german, english and czech, so far so well... . But in Prag the personal changed and the hungarian conductors only spoke hungarian, any czech, any german, any english, just hungarian. The train did arrive in Bratislava bang on time, but there wasn't anything visible. The stuff hided self , my family was just alone exept to other desperate looking passengers, who weren't sure either if they were already at their destination. Early morning, fog and the high quality international night train, nothing more. Finally they arrived on time, but the whole experience was very inconvenient to attrack more passengers, one and a half year later this service was cut...Luckily the öbb took over some nighttrain services but it it really not as it has been!!!

Super journey

YESS, I love night trains, and will be taking the overnight train to Brussels from Vienna this 29 of February! I would like an overnight train Paris Vienna, or Paris Berlin

Viva La France! 🇦🇺💐

Sehr interesant

Aujourd'hui, le gouvernement et la sncf on modernisé des trains de nuit et les remettent en service 😮😊😊👍👍

Je ne brosserais pas mes dents avec cette eau du réservoir probablement condaminée par quelques bactéries. Je prendrais de l'eau minérale en bouteille. Merci pour ce récit intéressant.

J'ai revu cette vidéo avec plaisir. Récemment TF1 a diffusé un reportage sur les trains de nuit où il était question d'une sérieuse mise à niveau des voitures.

Classic French Electrics: Love it!!

those were the days my friend....

Great report! The only issue and I do not appreciate at all are the "WTF" comments. It diminishes/substracts seriousness in such a nice report.

Intercités de nuit 🖤 Je l'avais déjà vue ... Mais bon tant pis

"Fewer and fewer trains"...gosh. Dans l'art de se tirer une balle dans le pied, la SNCF en a fait une discipline olympique !

Donc oui c'était la première vidéo sur ta chaine que j'ai vu et c'est ma préférée j'adore les trains de nuit et je trouve que tu as entièrement raison. Pourquoi tu as remis la même?

Rémi signifie Réseau de Mobilité Interurbaine, on le retrouve sur les trains et cars de la région Centre

In English, you'd call the "prevent fall fence" a bed railing. :-)

Always wanted to do the overnight from Paris to Barcelona but it got cancelled. La Tour de Carol only option now or the daytime TGV.

Hello! Thank you very much for your video, I'm planning to take this train to join my family in toulouse for Christmas. Do you know if there is access to hot water? (If I want to eat instant noodles or make myself a tea 😊) I used to take night trains very often when I was in China, and there is always a spot for very hot water in each carriage.

I do love sleeper trains but that was in desperate need of tlc, odd because my few experiences on SNCF have always been on new impressive trains. Maybe I misunderstood but really, 3 strangers in an old cabin, if I’m sleeping next to someone I better at least know them first. Honestly the seats were huge with plenty of legroom, think I would have preferred that myself

Those CoRail coaches seem very similar to the British Mk3 coaches very smooth and quiet at speed unlike modern coaches with the constant noise from poorly sited airconditioning blowers.

i donypt like to sleep i the train because I love seeing the new places..but yeah I still had no chance of travelling outside my country

On l’avais déjà vue cette vidéo sur la chaîne il y’a quelque mois ou semaine

When i retire ill just keep booking sleeper trains so i can go round europe in style and sleep with my Nintendo switch charging on the bunk beds lol

Could you give the link to the website where you booked your tickets, when I try searching night trains on sncf and other sites they don’t appear?

In eastern europe it could be nice express train

I love train

They sadly got rid of the overnight trains to Paris, they were great the bar was like a party. The TGV trains through the day don’t seem. that sensible as the journey is very long so you’re effectively wasting a day, night train are great

The Corail cars are the oldest passenger rolling stock currently in use by SNCF-they were built between 1975 and 1989. The car seen at 2:49 (orange doors with green roof line and white/black body) is still in the original 2nd class livery (1st class had the same exterior but with a yellow roof line iirc)-very rare today as most have been repainted many times. The BB26000 ("Sybic", meaning Synchrone Bicourant) are SNCF's fastest and most powerful electric locomotives as of today, together with their sister class, the BB 36000s ("Astride" for Asynchrone Tricourant Drive Engine). They use a similar (but detuned) engine technology as the TGV Atlantique and can reach 200 kph in passenger service (but not as a freight train, as those are generally limited to 120 kph due to their weight). By the way, for French locomotives, BB means that they have two axles per bogie. CC locomotives (three axles per bogie) also existed and were more powerful (mainly CC6500/21000 for electrics and CC72000 for diesels), but they have been definitively retired from service in the 2000s/2010s for the last ones, due to expensive running costs, pollution issues (for the diesels) and them being more agressive on the railway due to their third axle per bogie.

J'aimerais entendre la chanson de Briançon, Briancon and chanson rhyme pretty well

This makes an Amtrak Roomette (Super- or Viewliner) look like the damn Seven Star in Japan. No en suite AND shared? That is not just apathy, that's actively discouraging.

07:18 with the wheel bag : the train driver :)

Did I hear right that the train stops in Caussade before reaching Toulouse?

Did they stop the la tour de carol service?

You are not alone, here in Italy we have a really small number of night trains

4:04 i really wouldn't be surprised if ÖBB nightjet takes over the overnight services in France once the leading role of SNCF gets lowered. :D

I don't like the idea to have to share the compartment with others. First class should have single and double compartments like ÖBB has. That is much more comfort. In this one I would prefer the seat.

Hopefully sharing compartments with strangers on overnight sleeper trains will become a thing of the past in the post-Covid world.

Je me souviens...s'endormir au départ de Paris et pour se réveiller le matin dans les Alpes l 'approche d'Innsbrück. Le rêve. La SNCF est comme EDF: le client est au service de la societé et non l'inverse...

Frumos imi place cum filmezi cu camera trenurile de călători ale Parisului succes în continuare meriți un like de la mine Vasilică Stoica România

Tell us more about Corail...

If you order breakfast do they bring it to your cabin or do you go to pick it up? Great video, btw

C une belle vidéo moi lundi je prend le OUIGO pour aller à Marseille j’aimerais faire une vidéo comme toi

I thought you already did one!

Last Summer I done Toulouse-Paris and Paris-Toulouse whith Intercités de Nuit ! REMI would to say "REseau de Mobilités Interurbaines" = Interurban Mobilities NEtwork
