Ciarán CuffeNice! All European night trains running in 2026 on a single map. Thanks @backontrack Have you ever taken one?
https://back-on-track.eu/all-night-trains-running-in-2026-on-one-interactive-map/
Tor Lillqvist@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Of course. Helsinki–Rovaniemi, Malmö–Stockholm, Boden–Stockholm, Torino–Lecce, Milano–Palermo, London–Fort William, Basel–Hamburg, Hamburg–Wien, Berlin–Stockholm, Wien–București, Wien–Warszawa, and Wrocław–Lviv at least. (Not all those in 2026 of course, but relatively recently, and all are routes that to the best of my knowledge still run, not memories from older times.)
Thomas Arildsen@Ciarancuffe @backontrack I once took a night train from Hjørring to Copenhagen in Denmark as a small kid in the 1980es, a route that is long gone.
This summer, I will be traveling by train from Denmark to Slovenia on vacation with my kids, night train through Austria.

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Yes.
In recent years, just Vienna to Amsterdam
Many years ago, London to Glasgow.
I'm not a fan of night trains, but I know I'm in a minority (reasons in my blog at https://gaylers.me/travel/2025/03/nighttrains )
Ragna@Ciarancuffe @backontrack so sad Spain and Portugal are a big black hole on this map..

Patrick Hadfield@Ciarancuffe @backontrack I used to take the sleeper from Edinburgh to Euston for work, though not in the last 20 years. "Sleeper" was unfortunately ill named!
I have sometimes thought about doing the same trip now, just to see if the new rolling stock makes a difference.
Jocelyn@patrickhadfield @Ciarancuffe @backontrack
I took #London-#Inverness #CaledonianSleeper 3 years ago.
Compared to ÖBB #nightjet in #Germany, I had much better sleep (and I'm not an easy sleeper...) : the track is noisier (tack-a-tack) but this actually is sufficiently monotonous to help rather than prevent sleep, and we had much fewer stop-and-goes (in Germany, train stops, reverses, re-reverses in fully lighted railway complexes, which woke me up a couple of times)
Benoît Jones@cyclotopie @patrickhadfield @Ciarancuffe @backontrack
I looked at the Caledonian Sleeper recently and they wanted £240 for a single ticket, which seems a lot.

@huxley @cyclotopie @patrickhadfield @backontrack Oof. Thankfully Brussels-Berlin was only €110 when I took the European Sleeper back in April.
@Ciarancuffe @huxley @patrickhadfield @backontrack
I don't remember how much I paid back then, there were 4 of us in two private cabins, and it felt quite less pricy than a cheap-range hotel night in SE England + single train ticket.
But I guess they vary their prices just as heavily as other businesses---if I remember I adjusted our dates to minimise cost.
spanghero@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Taken 3 including 2 in the last couple of weeks. Brussels - Vienna in 2023, Malmo - Stockholm and Berlin - Paris this year.
jaj@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Warsaw - Dnipro must be nice
Deborah Preuss, pcc@Ciarancuffe I liked the night train from southern Germany to Berlin, a decade ago. No need for hotel! @JoBlakely @backontrack
nicolas@Ciarancuffe Have taken the ÖBB from Brussels to Berlin a year and a half ago, can't make it out on the map though. Booking was a nightmare (including their phone support) and I had to really convince my family that this was worth doing. Train ride was great, except for the poor sods in the other half of the train (from Vienna?), who had to get off in Leipzig at 3am or so due to some train problems.
Love the night train but any issues hurt.

Anna SdTC@Ciarancuffe @backontrack I've taken Paris-Cerbère, after a non-night Amsterdam-Paris. So I am extremely excited about the upcoming Amsterdam-Paris-Barcelona line (does not have a date yet); we do that trip at least once a year if not more, and a night train would make it infinitely more comfortable! I also took a Barcelona-Málaga when I was 11 and night trains were still running in Spain, and it was the best adventure ever!
Albert CardonaI’ve taken many night trains … Paris-Latour-de-Carol, Zurich-Munich, Zurich-Dresden, Oslo-Trondheim, Stockholm-Umea, Prague-Zurich, … and several that don’t run anymore: Barcelona-Paris, Barcelona-Geneva, Barcelona-Zurich. Big highlights of my childhood travels.
Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Recently, a Bari-Milano round trip, that I hope to repeat in the future.
Longer ago (and not on this map for having disappeared), multiple Nancy-Avignon round trips, and a Toulouse-Nancy round trip (that very probably had a daytime connection).
If the map included boat crossings like I think it should, multiple round trips between Igoumenitsa and Bari or Ancona.

If it wasn't for #öbb central Europe would be a blank page.
Germany, France and Spain are car nations falling into irrelevance slowly but steadily.

@backontrack
@Ciarancuffe @backontrack @glynmoody we took a NightJet to Vienna which was a hoot really. Slept very well.
@Ciarancuffe @backontrack @glynmoody looking at the map - why no night trains in Spain? And why so many run through Kiev?
@ruurd @Ciarancuffe @backontrack @glynmoody
#HighSpeedTrains have (nearly) killed #sleeperTrains in western Europe (and they are also detrimental to train services between medium sized cities).
Not just because of a competition but because they appeal so much more to decision makers who want a shiny record.
Pierre Jiji@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Oh, I thought France was part of EU.
But it clearly appears it does not 🙄
Thus, my answer to your question is NO !

Peter Kotrčka@Ciarancuffe
Not yet, but I would like to take the private one running between Prague and Amsterdam.

leckse@Ciarancuffe @backontrack Certainly not all of them. The night trains in Belarus and Russia are omitted completely.
@leckse @backontrack True, some additional work required, but RUS and BLR is a lot of work.
