And if night trains count we have of course the former type p stainless steel body sleeping cars European Sleeper uses. Although they have been modernized quit a bit in the 90s. Same for the ab32 and ab33, though they are younger (60s or 70s I think). Romania uses old German sleeper cars from...

The intercity trains from Budapest to Szeged and Bekescaba use partly BD coaches. These are from 1970/1971 and not much modernized. Imaround 2010 their interior got a new color, and recently buttons for automatic door opening were added. Although they officially run as express trains, those...

On another forum I read the rumour that it is only available for those from a country that is visa free for Azarbaijan. Not 100% sure if that is true though.

As advice, the criticism that the curtains are too short is valid, so consider bring a sleeping mask

I arrived in Prague this morning, 15 minutes late (we arrived in Berlin before schedule, and arrived in Czechia on time, the delay originated in Czechia this time). The train arrived in Roosendaal 13 carriages strong. 10 couchettes, two sleepers and one seating car. Only odd thing was the two...

I very much doubt Europea Sleeper cancels more trains than Nightjet. They do a lot to keep running, including renting a diesel locomotive to use a non electrified secondary route. Not something I can imagine Nightjet doing...

That train only travels in the Brussels to Prague direction today, and the day after tomorrow. I plan to use it this Friday, I have not heard anything yet. I do notice, however, that the train compositions on their website for the Prague connection are a bit short, especially because it is...

GoVolta is still in startup phase. More lines will be added (Parisnext year I believe), so the overhead per train will get lower. It is not unlikely they run with a loss till that time (for instance European Sleeper has the same, they are not turning a profit so far, but should do so soon with...

First thing I notice is no Amsterdam Milan dotted line. I hope that one is still going on.

If they have on thing it is resilience....

At least for the time being you do not have to worry about that as these carriages need work or are only available in 2028. There is enough availability at RDC with older couchettes to run with those.

Well, my English dictionary knows the word revision, but refurbishment or overhaul works as well. Though I do think that the "revision" starts with checking whether any overhaul is needed.

On the topic of OBB cars that could become available for European Sleeper. Currently 9 Dosto sleepers, and 21 couchettes are for sale, but these cars need revision before they can be used. There is an additional 7 couchettes available that do not need revision but are only available from 2028...

Too bad as I would have been happy to see your video. At least you got a refund rather quick

They do not simply write a glowing review, but create a video (or write a blog, though I do not think I have seen one of those for the new service) that is seen by thousands if not more. The one video for the Paris journey is from Simply Railway (let me know if you know others), and in that...

Yeah it is odd, I saw a picture of anAB33 earlier as well. Could be an honest mistake, though a comfort standard one has now appeared. I do still think the number of carriages is low.

And the train composition on their website does not mention any of the comfort categories, besides only eight carriages total. Strange, after the cancellation of Basel Malmo RDC should have more than enough carriages available.

They acquired quit a bit of investments lately, I would say it should be fine for sometime at least. In the longer term we will see. I do not agree they expand too fast. They simply have too, they need to expand to cover their overhead costs.

https://www.europeansleeper.eu/milan Update, start date has moved to 9 september. Route changed to Zurich and Como (perhaps temporary because of trackworks on the other route. The Amsterdam portion might start in 2027.
