      Wish i could add more pictures. I have a little window, side table with wireless charger and got served a breakfast

      Would you say it’s worth it more than to fly 1 hour? Or rather, why would you personally travel by train rather than plane?

      They aren’t terrible – but the electronics are a bit buggy. Not sure if it’s been fixed yet, but every time the train restarts, the lights go on, which is super annoying in the middle of the night.

      Highly recommended to bring your own pillow though as the one in there is as comfortable as a piece of toast.

      Honestly, it looks nice, clean and relaxing. Your socks however are giving me weird alien vibes.

    5. I wish our (UK/Scotland) sleeper train operator would still run solo cabins like this. They got bought out about a decade and a half back and rebranded as a luxury option.

      Glasgow <> London (about 10 hours on the slower sleeper train), you either get an uncomfortable seat for £100 each way or pay £300 for a huge cabin to yourself.

    6. It might beat standing room only on a 4 car CrossCountry train in England. But my Autism might cause anxiety in that space after like 30 mins or so. At least I could use my phone or Nintendo Switch as a distraction.

      Sounds like a bargain for a 10+ hour trip. Might you be getting a partial refund because of a delay?

    7. Does the train come with a conductor inspecting each passenger’s ticket, by any chance?

    8. I worked 6 years for the company lol, left just before these new trains got delivered. : )

    9. Hab echt Lust auch mal zu Zug zu fahren. 114 ist echt in Ordnung. Ist das mit Klimaticket oder der reguläre Preis?

      How is your opinion on the minicabin? I’m thinking of booking one for my journey to rome

    11. The sheer fact, that Austrian railways have single-handedly revived the European far-distance night train system, will never not amaze me

      Great! I need this with a car transport to the south of Italy. I hope they improve this service

    13. Train prices in mainland Europe are crazy.

      You have been through the entirety of another country. It’s ~600 miles (as the crow flies) and you have a private cabin with a bed for €114.

      Here in the UK £114 probably gets you from Manchester to Birmingham on standard economy class (during off peak hours with a rail card)

      I will be travelling in one of these soon – I read they are very cold though. Is this true, should I bring an extra blanket?

    15. Ha! I did this exact trip 20 years ago. Met my now wife in Vienna that weekend. A train vacation that completely changed my life!

    16. I don’t understand the word Operator in this context. Isn’t the operator the person that controls the train?

    17. Lol german train would be overcrowded, 150 Euro+ and a regular seat… this one here is great!
