Tell us: do you travel by sleeper train in Europe?

Banning internal flights on UK routes with fast rail links “could cut flight emissions by third”, according to a new report. But there are only two sleeper train services still operating, from London to Scotland and Cornwall respectively.

However, in Europe, a new generation of night trains designed to maximise passengers’ comfort and privacy could be whizzing across the continent from next year. While a standard single sleeper berth from London to Scotland can cost more than £200 (or £75 for a seat!), it is possible to travel from Paris to Rome for €30, Brussels to Vienna for €60 or even Stockholm to Narvik for €83.

We want to hear from you about Europe’s best sleeper trains. Is there a particular route you always travel on and, if so, why? Perhaps it is a more affordable option than flying? Or maybe you just love the comfort and ease of travelling by overnight train?
