@jeder ngl, I love those youtuber reviewers /s

They are mostly Americans stuck between three reality universes, which are:

1. „Here in America, the land of Freedom(TM), we don't even have passenger railways.”

2. „Here in Western Europe we have built high-speed infrastructure, but also removed the entire network of middle-speed, cheap overnight connections”

3. „Here in Eastern Europe we've created the social habit of long-distance night train travelling during the Soviet times, but capitalism fucked everything”

I'd love to see EuroNight brand reappearing as cheap way of travelling in Europe. However, what can I say when comparing:

- flying between Katowice and Eindhoven (hatred, but only 300 PLN return ticket)
- Katowice - Wien Hbf - NJ to Amsterdam (I'd love and prefer to travel this way, but >500 PLN one way...)

Essentially, we must repair EuroCity and EN network, then ban planes inside EU. Normalize overnight trains from Warsaw to Lisbon.

@Nepose tbf most of the ones I get are Bri*ish and they sound as ridiculous
the NJ to Amsterdam can be cheap sometimes, I got very lucky and got a 29.90€ sitting coach ticket from Vienna to Amsterdam, but yeah, if you want to get a couchette or sleeping car, you need that ridiculously expensive ticket and like, man

@Nepose otherwise, you can get Wrocław-Amsterdam with a bunch of transfers(sometimes as low as one) for min. 45.90€ on bahn.de

@jeder doing Wrocław - Amsterdam with one change, I guess, might be either IC + ICE or IC + that new European Sleeper service. I'd check it in free time.

Wow with finding Vienna - Amsterdam in such a low price. However, I'm not sure how bad one could feel after a couple of hours trying to sleep on a basic seat. Another problem is that Sparschiene tickets have limited pool of couchette and sleepers. In most cases you can select only standard place in a seating car with promo offer.

Fucking SCIC tariffs...

@Nepose actually it's neither of them, IC+direct Berlin-Amsterdam IC, I tried to sleep in that nightjet but it wasn't a great idea, I was able to get a couchette in Wrocław-Vienna for like 40€ or whatever as sparschiene once even a month in advance, those trains from the screenshot also still have couchettes and sleeping cars in sparschiene, so yeah

@jeder oh, okay. For some reason I thought that the Berlin - Amsterdam route is served by ICEs, but nice to know that it's not exactly the case :>

When it comes to the case of Wrocław and Nightjets, one mention: be aware that since new 2023/24 timetable NJ Berlin – Vienna will be restored to its standard route via Praha. No early morning train to Berlin, but as far as I know, there will be replacement done by another new pair of Przemyśl - Berlin connections.

@Nepose i am very well aware of that situation, was already looking at possible alternatives to Vienna, such as going through Lichkov with a bunch of transfers, I really wish Wrocław had more international trains

@Nepose also, technically you won't be wrong at some point, since ICE L will be on that route, but yeah Frankfurt - Amsterdam is served by ICE
