The night trains are great. It's quite comfortable, you get there in the morning allowing for a full day (after dropping off your bags at the hotel) of work/tourism, and I especially hope Nightjet and other night train companies converts all of their trains to the modern mini cabins[0].
They're incredible.

- orwin 2y agoNight ferrys and night trains are my favourite way of travelling when on vacation.
- usr1106 2y agoComfortable and comfortable. It's certainly much better than spending a night on a seat. But most people won't sleep well. It's noisy and either too hot or too cold. The bed is hard, narrow and often too short for tall people. I have spent many nights on trains in various countries, seats, floor and berth. I will prefer a couchette or sleeper if the price is somewhat reasonable. But I won't live in the expectation to get something comfortable. Just less uncomfortable.
- hyhconito 2y agoDoesn't work for all of us. I can peacefully fall asleep from the noise of a CFM on an Airbus. On a train, rickety being chucked around all the time and always too hot, nope. I can do 10h on a plane fine. 3h on a train does me in every time.
- Symbiote 2y agoI can't sleep in a seat, which rules out aircraft for any reasonable carbon or dollar price. At least on trains I have a chance. Googling how the climate controlled worked before my previous trip helped, but that followed a hot journey.
