Fun fact that you did not mention, but between Feldkirch and Buchs you also travel through the tiny state of Liechtenstein. The train has no stops there but you were in 3 countries during this voyage 🙂.

@PeteBrandy Год назад

I know about it, but I forgot to mention it. Thanks for the reminder. I think this train usually go through even 4 countries, because part of the line still run through Germany, but we took a diversion route through Zell am See.

In the 60is and 70is a lot of folk took overnight trains , and used sleepers and couchettes. For a single traveller {who did not drive} it was a very practical and comfortable way of travelling. Very interesting report. Keep it up !!

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Thanks for watching! I'm glad that night trains are coming back to be popular :-)

@electrain Год назад

@@PeteBrandy I don t really think that the night trains are coming back to be popular at all. This is just a general marketing over the EU trying to move people from their cars to trains. An somehow a today propaganda as this subject is imeddiately pushed up by the RU-vid algorithm. by the way, why are you calling it as DELUXE? there nothing compatible with DELUXE in the video, just regular night sleeping train standard since the 70s. DELUXE = luxurious or sumptuous; of a superior kind.

@philippmougey2960 Год назад

I've been on the night train from Budapest to Zürich in May. We had a mishap in the Alps (Muhrenabgang near Ötztal) and had to switch to busses between two stations early in the morning but it was handled very professionally, and since the weather was nice and I had no connection to make, I enjoyed the enhanced immersion into the scenic Vorarlberg landscape.

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Díky moc! Ten vůz je opravdu zajímavý, počet a rozmístění zásuvek bohužel odpovídá době jeho vzniku (rok 1995), lůžkové vozy Siemens které mají ČD jsou na tom podobně, jedna zásuvka v koupelně a jedna dole u postele a ZSSK WLABmee jen jedna zásuvka ve skříňce nad umyvadlem.. Ale věřím že až ÖBB obdrží nové Nightjet jednotky, tak bude mít více prostoru na upgrade těch starších :-)

@nachiketnanadikar5852 Год назад

Nice report! Travelled in the exact same coach and cabin (307, cabin 111) a couple of weeks ago! It was mostly a smooth and enjoyable journey, except for a small section near the Arlberg pass where our cabin had a leak when it was raining outside. Wonder if that's why they took one of the double decker sleeper coaches out of service haha

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Thanks so much! I think cabin 111 is the best cabin in case of position in the carriage. Btw. I had the same problem with water dripping from the panoramic window when was raining :-D I would also be interested in why the second of the double-decker cars missed, but I was returning with the same set in the evening (but on a direct ČD car to Prague) and there were already two double-decker cars in this set.

@jirivalenta6382 Год назад

@AndrewG1989 Год назад

The double decker trains are just so amazing. Shame that the UK doesn’t have them except having double decker buses. Very nice journey. 😊

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Thanks so much! Yes, it is very interesting that there are no double-decker trains in the UK, they are very common in continental Europe. Btw. these double-decker sleeping cars are very rare, only 10 of these cars are in service (Zurich - Vienna and Zurich Hamburg). But in Finland, for example, there are mostly double-decker sleeping cars.

@TheCrimsonFlaming Год назад

I wonder. Are those types of electric razors, which use those special sockets(that i saw in every train i was on) still being made or used?

@petecoventry6858 Год назад

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Such a situation can also happen, but it also happens with other types of transport.. A similar situation happened to me in aviation, when we had to wait 12 hours for a replacement aircraft due to an aircraft malfunction.

@viviennewest1867 Год назад

I see you did this trip in the coldest months as it give you the opportunity to get your information on this type of train journey being the off season, but still enjoyable. Or though I like to travel during the day because I like to see the scenery.

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Traveling during off season has its advantages, the trains tend to be less crowded and, moreover, it's not so difficult to book a deluxe cabin on this train. In 2022 I tried to book this compartment but it was still sold out. Yes, the day trains are good for the window views, but there is not so much quiet :-)

@The0070049 Год назад

@PeteBrandy 4 месяца назад

Here it depends whether you have an upper deck cabin or a lower deck cabin, the lower deck cabins are not very comfortable, but the deluxe cabins on the upper deck are great. Overall, this was my best night train journey so far :-)

@Janique2100 Год назад

1999 i drive with this wagon from Dresden to Zürich ..... the name of the train .... *CITY NIGHT LINE* (CNL)

@PeteBrandy Год назад

These are the same cars, I think ÖBB leased them from CityNightLine.

@NerdX151 Год назад

Of all the sleeping cars I have slept on in Europe, I think these are by far the most quiet, especially on the upper deck. You barely notice when the train starts moving.

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Yes, I think the same. They are also much quieter than Siemens Comfortline sleeping cars.

@petcatcatering3668 Год назад

Do you buy tickets from the box office or the machine? Can you write in detail

@uncinarynin Год назад

In deluxe these cars are wonderful. Economy compartments are only half the size though (ok for a single traveller but very restricted for two), and unlike the WLABmz Comfortline there's no public shower. By the way if you travel in the Hungarian sleeping-car from Budapest the ride is shorter, you don't have such a long stopover in Salzburg. The train departs later from Vienna or arrives earlier in the morning in the other direction. But the MÁV sleeping-cars have no deluxe compartments and, according to my sister, are a bit noisy/squeaky at night.

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Thanks for watching! Yes, standard (economy) compartments are a bit tiny, but also good when you travel alone. Yes, Hungarian "EN Kalmán Imre" portion has shorter ride time. I tried these Hungarian sleeping cars on the EN Metropol from Budapest to Berlin in 2022 and as you told, they are a bit noisy (I also have a video here).

Another good report Pete, seems like a good deal when you factor in the price of a hotel and the cost of the journey, have you any idea how good the sound proofing is in the cabins I’m working hard on my wife to take the nightjet hopefully the one to Hamburg from Vienna or vice versa but she’s worried about noisy neighbours, really enjoy your reports you’re inspiring me to start my travels again

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Thanks so much! I calculate it the same way, the hotel + the flight ticket would be more expensive :-) As for the sound proofing, it depends a lot on the type of sleeping car, the worst are the cars that have interconnecting doors between compartments, through which you can hear every word... which are, for example, WLABmz comfortline cars.. here it is good to take a Deluxe cabin because there is also a bathroom between the compartments. But a lot also depends on the composition of the passengers. However, I always use earplugs when traveling on night trains :-)

@samtrak1204 Год назад

I've replayed the scene of the train backing into Vienna station several times but I don't see the double decker. Are the upper windows on the other side of the platform?

@PeteBrandy Год назад

It is the second car from the back (in Vienna), this double decker car has 2 rows of windows above each other on the side where the cabins are, but on the side where is the aisle there is only one row of windows, from the other side this car can be seen after arriving in Zurich

@emilkarpo Год назад

The car looks like it's probably spent most of its life in storage and is in need of an overhaul or complete rebuild. On the other hand the price was excellent and there is some very nice scenery,Is there anything more comfortable on a cold rainy day than a nice warm sleeping car?

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Yes, these cars correspond to the time of their production and they already need a modernisation. But in my opinion, they are still one of the most comfortable sleeping cars (as for the deluxe cabins on the upper deck).

Hi. Yes, you can book a whole compartment for yourself. There are 3 choices when you book your journey in sleeping car: Single (a whole compartment for you), Double (one bed in shared 2-bed compartment) or Triple (one bed in shared 3-bed compartment).

@@PeteBrandy I remember an interrail trip towards Scandinavia: Didn't slept in a hotel/hostel during four nights in a row between the hostel beds in Hamburg and Turku ... The first part was planed - due to a journey through very pricey Norway(Hamburg-Fehmarn-Helsingor/-borg-Oslo-Stavanger-Preikestolen-Oslo-Stockholm) ... the second part caused by a music band called Metallica - they managed to tour in Stockholm and two nights later in Helsinki(me:Stockholm-Boden-Haparanda-Tornio-Kemi-Helsinki-Turku) - hence, no budget accomodation available anymore ... !Though: had a cheap sleeper bed supplement between Kemi/Oulu and Helsinki - beside that, everything in seating accomodation ...

@PeteBrandy Год назад

Yes, the price was great, I had a luck to still catch the promo fare (Sparschiene), otherwise the tickets are more expensive on this route.. The missing Wi-Fi and lack of power outlets corresponds to the year of production of these cars, I hope that after the new Nightjet units will be delivered (the Railjet based ones), so they will have time to upgrade these cars :-)
