Politico has done a huge animated kind of report - travel guide about the new European Sleeper service, and all the places it stops

It's a *massive* piece of work!

I am quoted in there about the prospects of the revival of night trains in Europe

Europe’s sleeper train awakens

The upstart European Sleeper is gambling on a night train revival to link up the Continent.

@jon so sad about Hanover :(

@Squig I sort of see the point though. It’ll be even later once European Sleeper starts serving Praha.

@jon And Hanover has been okay with not advertising its night life too much, we couldn‘t take masses of Dutch and Belgian ravers the way Berlin can. It just sucks to lose the sole direct/ and sole night connection that I thought I gained personally for the train connection I need to make the most. So either I add 2h, or I play DB-roulette.
