“It’s kind of like the experience of a cruise ship, but instead of being a boat cruise it’s a rail cruise.”
@acb Even as a definitely not very agile, and sightly overweight, 64-year old I managed to use a such just fine last year, Hamburg–Wien. Would definitely do it again, when travelling solo, if available on a route suiting my itinerary.
(I doubt my wife would want to, though, she would probably find it claustrophobic.)
Während sich die Buchwelt in Leipzig feiern, denken andere übers Aufhören nach. Sehr traurig! Dabei lassen #TobiasReckermann und #ErikRAndara nicht nur die letzten Jahre Revue passieren, sondern denken auch über phantastische Literatur und ihren Platz in der Welt nach. Sehr lesenswert.
Hier der erste Teil des Abschlusstalks: https://nighttrain.whitetrain.de/2025/03/24/gleis-x-teil-1/
Jag uppdaterade lite kring de italienska nattågen InterCity Notte. Det finns några olika sajter att boka Interrailplats på och de ger lite olika resultat. https://interrailinfosvenska.wordpress.com/sicilien-kalbrien-apulien/ #Interrail #tågtut #tågluff #traintravel #nighttrain
Hmm, is it really so that for two persons, a shared #Trenitalia sleeping-car compartment ("Vagone Letto Relax — Doppio Cabina Intera") Torino–Lecce is 226€, while for a single person by themselves, the same compartment ("Vagone Letto Relax Uso SIngolo — Cabina Intera") is (only) 137€?
Doesn't seem logical to me. Either the double should be cheaper or the single higher.
(Eurail still is not able to sell a reservation for two in the same compartment.)
- night train boarded. And we’re off.
It’s kind of full, and they had the cars numbered wrong. But it’s all sorted now.
People are settling into their bunks. It’s still early, so there’s a lot of chatter going on. They’ll quiet down later.
Plan for tonight:
- eat dim sum in #hamburg
- catch S-Bahn to Harburg
- board night train to Munich
- zzzz

surprisingly cool design features in the new Nightjets and their Mini Cabins
On the night train
Worked a full day at home. Made pizza for dinner with the family. Put the kids to bed, where needed.
Then biked to the station, and caught the train. Tomorrow I’ll be by the sea.
Going Tallinn-Vilnius with a single #CrossBorderRail ticket is lovely https://ltglink.lt/en/vilnius-tallinn but unfortunately #Flixbus remains much more convenient for Tallinn-Warsaw. 14 hours direct bus conveniently matched to the afternoon ferry from Helsinki and many morning trains towards Germany or Austria vs. 11+8 hours train requiring me to get up at 6 for the earliest ferry, spend a night in Vilnius and possibly another in Warsaw...
Any hopes for a #NightTrain Tallinn-Warsaw?
That was cool! A turny #train in the dark. Is that a #nighttrain?

Have a nice #nighttrain trip @andreaswiedenhoff@rail_@bark.lgbt.chat (@ NJ 466 ➜ Wien Meidling) #NowTräwelling https://traewelling.de/status/4478567
If we actually invested in high speed rail, and treated it as a utility rather than a luxury, much of the demand for air travel would go away.
It's time for the #EuropeanSleeper's newest relation from #Venice

A very long train with #FensterAuf and it's own (Ex-DB) #diningcar with only some snacks and beverages. #sleeperandeater #nighttrain #nachtzug
