I have so many fond memories of riding night trains through Poland and Ukraine, or from the south of Sweden all the way up to north of the arctic circle in Abisko. It is my favourite form of long distance travel, and I am so glad to see it returning.
Denmark is hopelessly behind on this, and are even limiting the possibilities for sleeper trains between Sweden/Norway and the rest of Europe, but hopefully we will get back on track soon.
I was sad when DB cancelled their sleeper train programme, but happy when ÖBB took over. I think Vienna-Rome was my last trip on a sleeper.
They went away?
Also, fellow Swedes: what’s the difference between a “liggvagn” and a “sovvagn” besides the obvious connotations (giggity)?
Save your time
The night train is coming, got to keep on running.
If they so desperately want to promote travelling by train, which I am not against, than they should lower the price of a train ticket. Flying to london from the netherlands is so much cheaper than by train…
One thing I want to do is Naples – Norway by train, but It costs a lot
Right now due to covid, in Italy you can get a train bed only if you buy the entire room so 6 beds at 6 times the cost. Not very convenient sadly.
