The collaboration between European Sleeper and Trainline signifies a significant expansion in ticket distribution, enhancing access to the night train services. The community-owned European Sleeper, known for its commitment to sustainable travel, now offers its tickets on Trainline, a major independent rail and bus travel platform. This strategic move is aimed at providing a seamless booking experience, making it easier for passengers to traverse Europe in an eco-conscious manner.
Connecting key European capitals, the ‘Good Night Train’ serves Brussels, Antwerp, Amsterdam, and further extends its route to Berlin, Dresden, and Prague. The service, operational three times a week, also facilitates connections to London and Paris via Brussels, offering travellers a comprehensive network across pivotal European cities. This initiative is expected to bolster railway travel as a viable alternative to air travel for intercity journeys across Europe.
Catering to a wide array of passenger preferences, European Sleeper provides several accommodation options. Travellers can select from standard shared seating and sleeping compartments to private and women-only compartments, ensuring a tailored travel experience. This variety of options underscores European Sleeper’s dedication to comfort and safety for all its passengers.
In a bid to enhance on-board amenities, a pilot programme for a dining car is set to commence, highlighting European Sleeper’s commitment to continuous improvement. This initiative, backed by recent shareholder investments, will be assessed for its viability during a two-month trial period starting September. The potential for it to become a fixture on the trains aligns with the company’s broader vision of offering high-quality travel experiences.
Since its inception in May 2023, European Sleeper has rapidly expanded its reach, now including Dresden and Prague in its itinerary. Over 55,000 passengers have utilised the service across more than 260 trips, highlighting its popularity and the growing demand for sustainable and comfortable travel options across Europe.
The strategic partnership with Trainline marks a pivotal advancement for European Sleeper, enhancing its accessibility and commitment to sustainable travel.
