A new night train service will launch between Paris and Berlin, with the first train operated by Dutch-Belgian railway company European Sleeper departing from Paris’ Gare du Nord station for the German capital.<\/p>\n
The service will operate three times a week between the two cities, with a travel time of about 16 hours, foreign media write, reports Telegraph.<\/p>\n
From July 13, its only stop in Germany will be at Hamburg-Harburg station. The train will also stop in Mons, Brussels and Li\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n
The “European Sleeper” is taking over a line that the Austrian Federal Railways (\u00d6BB) discontinued in mid-December due to the withdrawal of state subsidies from France.<\/p>\n
This service, operated by \u00d6BB in cooperation with SNCF and Deutsche Bahn, passed through Strasbourg, Frankfurt and Erfurt.<\/p>\n
There were considerable protests there against the discontinuation of the service, which had only been restored two years earlier. The \u201cEuropean Sleeper\u201d then stepped in to connect the two cities.<\/p>\n
The company already operates a service between Brussels and Prague via Berlin.<\/p>\n
Night trains are in high demand, as more and more people are choosing long-distance train travel again and are not discouraged by long journeys.<\/p>\n
However, state-owned railway companies still complain that these services are not profitable. \/Telegrafi\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new night train service will launch between Paris and Berlin, with the first train operated by Dutch-Belgian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,234,190,195,7372,6282],"class_list":{"0":"post-49850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-berlin","8":"tag-berlin","9":"tag-france","10":"tag-germany","11":"tag-paris","12":"tag-rail-transport","13":"tag-train"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116300588150554948","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
