Has anyone done this route?
Considering using it for work purposes rather than fly back to UK and fly out again the next morning to Warsaw.

What is the noise and comfort like Vs Caledonian sleeper and GWR sleeper?

Is there a restaurant car?

Thanks. What is the comfort and noise level like? I always have earplugs these days anyway but I do struggle to sleep if there's a lot of noise.
IIRC the PKP sleeper compartments are quite OK. I also use ear plugs in night trains. Can't comment on the PKP couchettes.

Well, I'm booked on it for next Wednesday, so I shall find out what the breakfast consists of.
I see the line is closed between Breclav and Ostrava. From what I can divine it looks like the sleeper is rerouted rather than turfing is all out onto a bus in the middle of the night.
Does anyone know if the timetable already takes account of the rerouting?

Also is there a European equivalent of ontimetrains so I can get an idea if it's possible we will arrive early in Warsaw?

Zugfinder may cover Poland, I don't know off the top of my head

Use https://portalpasazera.pl/en/ for Polish services. It's worth noting that it is extremely unlikely that the train will arrive early at Warszawa Centralna (Warsaw Central) as it has a booked call at Warszawa Zachodnia (Warsaw West) a few minutes prior to arrival at the former, and it will be held until booked departure time at the latter.

CD say no delay to that train (the short section involved is probably managed with SLW for "class 1" trains) - which stands/shunts at Bohumin for over an hour anyway.
