Love the night train renaissance 🚆✨ by sanandrios Tags:belgium 3 comments The [Vienna night train](https://www.nightjet.com/en/reiseziele/oesterreich/wien) is run by ÖBB Nightjet. The [Prague night train](https://www.europeansleeper.eu/prague) is run by European Sleeper. And both run night trains to Berlin. Brussels Midi is the departure station. A night train to Barcelona is [expected in 2025.](https://www.brusselstimes.com/362919/brussels-to-barcelona-rail-connection-could-become-reality-in-2025) The longest journey is Brussels to Prague at 15h 34min (departs at 19:22 and arrives at 10:56). Except that it’s expensive af. Flying is still the cheapest option and that’s absolutely ridiculous. I took the ÖBB nightjet once (well, twice, was a retour). Cost me more than a flight, took 10 times longer, the train looked like they recycled it from a junkyard, the beds had dark stains and were very hard, the electricity failed in our wagon, so we had no light or heating (it was winter). And in the middle of the night they added a stranger to our coupé, which we actually got with 4 friends, so it would just be us. I like night trains in theory, but this was not a repeatable thing.
