Great video! I advise you, if you can, to travel on an Italian intercity night, from Milan to Syracuse (Sicily. The journey takes almost 22 hours and 1500 km. Furthermore, if you didn't know, the train is transported on the ship between Calabria and Sicily, very fascinating. I suppose it is the train with the longest journey in Europe (between regular trains, in fact, a pair of trains runs every day. This train was the first direct link between the north and south of Italy since the 1950s, facilitating mass emigration from the south to northern Italy in those years; he has also been the subject of many films, poems and songs. It was called by the state railways, -arrow of the South-. I am Sicilian, my grandfather and after my mother often took this train and told me really many adventures of those long journeys. If 22 hours seem too many, there are also intercity and intercity night Rome-Syracuse, lasting about 10 hours, which also allow you to see the crossing over the Strait of Messina with the ship. Sorry for my English!

All of Europe-s a night-train/And all the men and women merely passengers/They have their Brexits and their Schengen Areas/And one man in his couchette smells many farts/His trips covering different gauges/At first the teenager/Hungover and puking into his best mate-s arms/And then the whining young man, with rucksack/And bleary morning face/And then the lover, riding off the rails/Into unknown tunnels/And then the husband/Sighing with sternness/And a where-s my passport? /Made to his wife-s eyeball/The next gauge slips into the sidings of serene retirement/And Interrailing at Senior-Person-s entitlement/The Spanish gauge shifts into green and considered Irun/The spectacle of those/With Euros well-saved/Last train of all/That bookends this changing, scentful mystery/Is second-class and near-Bolivian/Sans tea, sans pies, sans haste, sans air spring -

I've watched several of your videos. My issue like in this especially you show a view shot then put copy on it and cut to quickly. '. m not done reading, keep in mind you're english is so so, Im trying to figure out what you mean, Slow down. I feel like I'm dizzy on your bathroom tours. One wall 5-10 seconds, next wall 5-10 seconds and when you walk though the trains you go to fast, cutting from view shot to copy. Hope this is helpful.

I wonder how much the continuation of Nightjet was contributed to by OBB's choice to go for push-pull for their Railjets? It gives the big advantage that the expensive locomotives can be used both on Railjet during the day, and Nightjet at night. Had they gone for units, they would still need a fleet of locos for Nightjet, which would push up the cost of running the services.

-0: 59 oh boy a train to Monaco! I had a similar experience when I was travelling from Lille to Ypres. My plan was to leave Lille, then transfer at a station called Kortrijk, but the display screen didn't display Kortrijk. The staff at the station insisted it was the right train. Well I realized it was because the screen in Lille was French so it was written Courtrai. -

I really like your videos. But I don't like that everything is written. You allways busy with reading so it's impossible to watch the video itself and sometimes the lines disapperar that fast that I always have to stop the video for reading. Would be much more easyer if you use a microphone and tell the things when you cut your clips.

Per Monaco being Italian for Munich in Germany, you're correct, I looked it up, it's -Monaco di Baviera. - There have been incidents of travellers getting tickets to Munich when they meant to travel to the principality of Monaco on the Mediterranean coast.
Vienna Hauptbahnhof is new, apparently replacing Westbahnhof and Sudbahnhof.

Have a try at the sleeping cars when you can. Not that much more expensive depending on availability. The experience is amazing.
Nightjet is my #1 choice when I need to go between Switzerland and Germany.
Especially on Zh-Berlin / Zh-Vienna routes where they use their double-decker sleeping carriages.

Meanwhile here in the United States, you're paying more than this for a coach seat or over $500 for a roomette.
I -really- wish Amtrak installed 100% lie-flat seating in their coach class long-distance trains. Would make the journey a lot more bearable and could tremendously boost ridership.

-3: 55, the high number 403 is because each coach number in international trains ins europe is unique. For example if have been traveling today in Coach 263 in EC9 from Cologne to switzerland today. No other train has numbers like this. Small numbers are reserved for domestic trains.

I have travelled quite a few times to and from Vienna by sleeper trains, they are excellent!
A really good idea would be a secure baggage coach for large(r) suitcases, as there is not really a great deal available in couchettes. especially for 4 or 6 people.

4: 57 if you need to see a SWAT agent entering a train toilet. Feedback: You should make the writing smaller and the space between the lines tighter in my opinion, I feel like it's a bit invading to the overall shot of the trains and what not.

It would have been a lot easier to read your message if the printing was put in say a black box at the bottom of the video screen, it was very difficult with white letters on a white or light background

After European sleeper service numbers dropped to a sad level, I was glad to read there is increased demand, and new international routes will be opened up in 2020. A great video of a great train journey.
