Hello again the European Sleeper train, this time from Rotterdam to Dresden.
I love these trains, it's no frills travel in the good sense. The byproduct is that strangers are allowed to talk to one another.

Actually, I take back the no frills description. Sure, there's no wifi and limited catering (improvements are coming, just ask @maartje).

But European Sleeper has the biggest frill that some other train companies have lost: staff on board who give a shit.

A passenger missed disembarking, even though we stopped at Berlin Hbf for 20 minutes and Ostbahnhof for 4. Next official stop is 2 hours away. Train manager stopped the train at Schönefeld instead of passing through.

Aye.
