This connection is more important than all others at this moment. Why? Because it simply gives residents of Central and Eastern Europe a chance to connect with Western Europe in a reasonable time and with a minimum number of transfers. For example, I love backpacking and if I want to get to the Pyrenees from Poland, I can do it by three trains (including two night ones) and still have a lot of time to explore Berlin and Paris. How cool is that. And adding the fact that traveling with a large backpack I would pay a similar (if not higher) price with airlines, the train now makes even more sense.

Thanks for the video, Thibault. A little comment about your new style video - I'm sorry but I preferred the sub title style. I find it easier to understand - not your accent, but sometimes I would like to see what the place names are or to pause on details. Plus then you also get the real sounds of the railway. There are so many people doing voice over videos so I think you get lost in amongst them all. Anyway, just my opinion. I've been loving your videos for ages!

For a overnight train to compete against airlines, it need to arrive at destination before 08: 00 or at very least before 09: 00, otherwise people take first flight of the day and arrive earlier at destination. S988km in 14 hours is 70kmh average. Increase average speed to 80, and you cut 2 hours off and arrive 2 hours earlier. But f it gets too popular it becomes useless sicne there is never any available rooms for the day that your need to travel.

People are looking for a more convenient way to travel between countries without having to use air travel only thing that would put families off would be the cost, budget airlines by booking in advance can compete better with costs of course booking a seat only will negate costs but families need a compartment so it will be interesting to see the pricing of travel at peak holiday times, great post

I applaud every effort to expand rail passenger service! It makes sense to have daily night trains that, as you said, allow passengers to sleep through the night and wake up near their destinations. The cost per ticket is dramatically lower than the amount involved in day time travel plus hotel accommodations. Congratulations to everyone involved! Thank you for the excellent video.

Very nice Video Thibault, I'm really a bit jealous of all the journeys you're doing. But I shouldn't complain, I'm getting around quite a bit myself and even though I haven't been on this service for the inaugural journey, I will be traveling on this train in February and on the all new Nightjet from Innsbruck to Hamburg in January and I am really looking forward to these journeys.

Thanks for taking us along, Thibault. It's great that OBB has re-introduced or introduces more night trains across Europe. Sure, there must be many gaps that have yet to be filled, but it's a good start. It's also encouraging that this new service is booked to capacity, not to mention the ambition to increase the frequency to a daily service within the next 12 months.

It's great, in theory. In practice, trains in Germany and Austria are a lot of times delayed and/or canceled. So if you have an important appointment in the morning, taking the train is too unreliable at this point. Hope this changes, as I'm a diehard train fan, but let's be realistic.

I can totally see why you were emotional; that must have been an amazing moment to arrive back in your capital on the first overnight train from Germany and with THAT sort of welcome!
And at 13: 25, that was a great save with that really close post coming up on you and your phone!

Congratulations to OBB and Nightjet for this historic accomplishment, showing once and for all that the night trains are far from dead, that they are wanted now more than ever.
Now, on to the next battle: Revive the Restaurant Car! Bring back the Bistro!

Nightjet is going to be the next big thing in European Railways. I am super excited with the new connection between Barcelona and Vienna starting in late 2024. Congrats for this travel and the video! Cheers!

I remember taking one of the last ICNL to Paris. We went there for a weekend trip and it was super practical. It-s really nice to see a night train running again in this route

OBB has been doing a great job with Nighjet. Can't wait for seing them expand into Spain, maybe even Portugal and UK why not (a challenge) once they get new equipment.

Hmm, it's not very fast. 950 km in 14 hour. I think the Amsterdam - Vienna train does around 1200 in km in around 12 hours.

Why not just fly between Paris and Berlin on a flight at 6am. You'll still make morning meetings
