When I was preparing to move to Madrid one of things I wanted to do while living here was to try this sleeper train, I arrived on march of 2020, never got the chance.
I know, i saw a video of the Traveling Clatt on the A Coruña - Barcelona train and that train looks much more modern. On the Portugal line I only saw these trains. What is a down side in the lines that will stay in Spain is that you'll only find the most luxurious cabins. I think it would be better, also from a commercial point of view to add more comfort categories. Actually I planned to go on thus train, and travel with the FEVE lines along the northern coast of Spain to France but due to the Corona outbreak I won't do that. I will do some new trip-reports soon though, the longest intercity in The Netherlands, the most popular route in The Netherlands and the route that's most interesting for international travellers that will travel through The Netherlands (mainly from north west Belgium to Germany). I have one a bit more exotic trip report that's not online yet.
I recommend or suggest to Trainviking a future travels with subsequent videos from Hendaia/Hendaye in French Basque Country to Ferrol in Galicia and León in Spain´s Castille-León region. The most extensive narrow gauge (meter gauge) network in Europe, with frequent commuter services, infrequent regional services, and freight service in decline, by rail companies Euskotren in Spain´s Basque Country and by Renfe after the defunct of FEVE in Asturias, Cantabria, the North of Galicia, the North of Castille, and León.
How can u book a simple sleeper seat on this train from paris to Lisbon and back? Secondly, is this a direct train from paris to Lisbon? And how long is the duration of the journey from paris to Lisbon?
Unfortunately, this service has been suspended. The trains are owned by the Spanish railway company Renfe, during covid renfe sold all their sleeper trains. However, there is a lot of political pressure to relaunch sleeper trains again (I don't get this. These are state owned companies). For now there are no sleeper trains to Portugal, as a matter of fact, trains between Portugal and Spain are extremely limited at this moment. Hopefully this will change very very very soon.
I know. I should make this more clear, I'll pin a comment for this. In the video I'm talking about the low capacity already, because there is a big demand, I can tell you that from an experience point of view. Covid and the war with Russia changed some things for video's I've made. The Thello services (I covered all) also have been suspended.
Unfortunately this train has been canceled. The Spanish railway company (and this is why I really don't like them) sold these trains to India, even there is political pressure to launch this again (and the Spanish national railway company knew this), they still sold it during covid, just to have an excuse not to be able re launch it again if there's political pressure. Portugal is probably the most difficult country to reach by train in Europe. Even with this night tfain the capacity was too low, now its even worse.
We are doing a long stay in Portugal in Feb/March, after we want to spend 11 days in France. Trying to figure out how to get from Libson to the Bordeaux area of France by train? Any help would be greatly appeciated
Oh this train has been suspended since covid. The Spanish railways sold these trains. The best way is I guess to take a bus to Bilbao, San Sebastian or Hendaye. From Hendaye there are trains to Bordeaux. From Bilbao and/or San Sebastian you can take local trains of Euskotren to Hendaye.
@@Trainviking Ah. This explains why I can't find tickets for the train from Lisbon to Madrid despite a lot of searching. I was excited after finding out about the train. Hopefully they restore it again.
@@EarlWagner Unfortunately it's not going to be restored. The trainsets were sold or converted into normal high-speed trains. Yes, it's totally ridiculous, I know. Welcome to Spain
I personally don't feel the need to travel illegal whatsoever. I'm in for adventure but not by travelling without a ticket. When you want trains to offer services, paying for your ticket is crucial, especially on routes where there aren't that many trains it benefits the service and it woll show up in the statistics as well.

Such a pitty. I think it's a shame that Renfe sold these trains during the pandemic. The demand is higher than ever.
Muito bom o conteudo 😁👏👏
Very nice video. nice shot too. I´m from Portugal I just can´t wait to do this trip!
Awesome video!! Cheers from Brazil.
Obrigado, saudações da Holanda :).
Im totally impressed to see this beautiful Station 😍😍
That is the old-version of Renfe's TrenHotel. The new version is more modern and better.

Hello, I am looking for some information about how to book a ticket for this train … I can’t Find it on the internet…
Thanks
This service has been suspended since covid. I don't know if it will come back or not.
@@Trainviking thank you for the answer I hope it will be open soon again
Unfortunately there is no connection these days. Lisbon - Madrid, I mean😭

Does this train still go?

@@Trainviking Do you know if they will continue the connection 'Hendaye - Lisboa' in the future?
@@EarlWagner Unfortunately it's not going to be restored. The trainsets were sold or converted into normal high-speed trains.
Yes, it's totally ridiculous, I know. Welcome to Spain
@@sweeky1 unfortunately it's been already confirmed that no, it won't be continued at all :(
I'Portuguese how long it takes
Infelizmente, não há mais ligações noturnas entre Portugal e o resto de Europa. Espero que possam regressar em breve, é realmente uma pena.
Be honest how is the checking in the train I want to travel illegal without money challenge

Trainviking crona virus fucked my life up so I’ll have to travel illegal no other option left
