Being a ÖBB nightjet frequent traveller to all Italian destinations (Venice, Rome, Milan) I enjoyed your excellent video! However, one correction on the couchette option: The bedding IS provided! Double-linen, a blanket and a small pillow are there. One has to make the bed themselve. Included are also a bottle of still water, and a complimentary small breakfast (2 rolls, butter, jam, and tee or coffee). One recommendation for the couchette is: Pack lightly, since there is not much room for large suitcases!

Yeah definitely. The worst thing is a few years ago the plug was pulled on the CityNightLine service to Copenhagen where I live, right at the moment Sleepers started to become popular (mostly from people trying to avoid polluting by taking Jets on holiday) And so as of now we have no sleeper trains from our city with people demanding them, day in and day out. ÖBB has shown interest in extending their Hamburg services to Copenhagen and we're hoping SJ one day will extend their Stockholm Sleeper trains to Copenhagen, as they right now end in Malmö, just across the water from us. So close yet so far away at the same time.

I actually think the railways are missing a huge segment there, I am taking the family around Europe next year, I would much rather pay for an over night train + meals than flights+ hotels + meals + transfers etc, but, trying to explain to adults (a couple in their 70's) that they have to use bunk beds just isn't going to work. I think it was Paul that did a review on (digging deep from my memory here) the London to ???? Edinburgh ???? Sleeper that from the middle of this year will have double beds, fantastic !, it would save me a small fortune (11 people in 5 hotel rooms, do the math) but nope, I just don't see it happening.

I did the Orient Express in 1977 in a sleeper cabin with the family and am eager to see what it's like today. Going through Iron Curtain countries was a little depressing with people standing along the tracks to receive huge plastic garbage bags full of food, clothing, and other goods not available tossed by either family members or just philanthropists who live in the West. Part of the way we were forced to keep the window shades down and not look through the window, enforced by a Communist guard staring through the window in our cabin door (might have had something to do with the fact that my father was an American military Colonel but I saw other guarded doors).

There are over 10 different places where you can get food. From pizza, over Mc Donalds, Burger King, asian cuisine, seafood, austrian cuisine.

I can testify there's a simple, but decent breakfast provided in couchette class too. Continental, so no hot option, but a crackling fresh Semmel, real butter and marmelade is just perfect bliss as it is. But everything's better than nothing, like in France, or a 7Day chocolate filled croissant on many Central European night trains (in PL, CZ...) The Thello from Paris to Venice is quite likewise, although without the en-suite bathroom, as far as I know, but with a restaurant car (nothing spectacular, but decent and reasonably priced). Breakfast is served there, and consists of a freshly made 'brioche' (a croissant filled with custard or jam), a juice and a coffee, and is included for sleeper passengers, too. I'm heading to the Nordic countries again, and hope to take a night train, this time around.

A dining car would drive up the cost, which was the reason why so many railroads stopped running night trains. ÖBB manages to make a small profit, but that only works if they tightly control the cost. An extra car (+staff) that is only really used for maybe 2 hours of the journey sadly just doesn't work in today's economic environment.

Great video Paul, cheers. I wish we had taken a train/flight when we travelled from London, england to mayahoffenp, Austria.. we had a 24 hour coach trip.... at least we came back on all forms of transport because they had forgotten to pick us up at the end of our 2 week skiing holiday!! Train from home to London then to Dover via coach, ferry to Belgium, coach through Germany to Austria....coming back was coach to Munich, Germany, flight to Heathrow, London and train back home...13 hours....it was our first trip abroad and 35 years ago....times have changed...

Arround 2022, the new Nightjet Sleepercars will be actively on the rails. Just look at the Homepage. The pictures just look fantastic!!

Paul, go next time you see the RailJet please go next to the engine and wait there until the train starts to run - Why? Because the engine "sings" Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do! Really - it is no joke. Thank you for sharing your awesome video with us.

All the Siemens Taurus engines do that. It's quite funny.
