My bad @6:39 it's Budapest not Bucharest... :)
Hi I'm from Austria🇦🇹✌️
You know how many people persistently confuse those two with each other? Hahaha, and it's one of the few instances I cannot blame them for, they're intensely similar names in every single way. I figured it was a bit of a odd bunching to have one bound for Romania, but I happily accepted it anyway and played along if it was real.
8:00 it's just so nice to see some kind of double-decker cars go up to 200km/h, the maximum we get in China is 140km/h, and can it operate in France???(4,25m or 4,45m)
@@TheCriminalViolin Yes, it is like Switzerland and Swaziland, Austria and Australia lol.
@@frankishknight1878 True, though, Swaziland is no longer, since it's known as Eswatini now as of I believe 2018.
9:45 "We depart from Zurich perfectly on time."
Maximum Swissness achieved.
3:10 One little addition: The trains that depart between 1am and 4am are local night trains that only drive in the nights from friday to saturday and saturday to sunday. On regular weekdays there are no trains between 1am and 4am.
And two other things you didn‘t mention:
A thing I think is interesting: As you can see at 3:43 The river Sihl is literally flowing through the Station. The tracks above ground are above the river, while the the Stations of Museumsstrasse and Löwenstrasse are below the river. They had to implement many precautions, cause the Sihl is a river that has a high flood potential and if a flood would occure, it could flood the entire Zürich HB and make it unusable for a while.
And the second thing: There actually is a third underground station in Zürich HB: Tracks 21 and 22 belong to the station of the SZU (Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn). It was originally built for the planned subway (which got rejected) and now is start and end point of two S-Bahn-lines: The S10 which goes up to the Uetliberg (would definitely recommend going up there if you are in Zurich. You have a nice view from there and it is an interesting railway line in my opinion) and the S4 which goes to Sihlwald.
Such great news that OBB continues to invest in night trains, which are a dying art. I hope they get enough custom to make it worth it.
The funny thing is the first Nightjet coaches as far as I know were bought from the DB and refurbushed. So while the DB made losses with the Night trains the ÖBB is just like making profits easy lol
I heard that DB wants to bring them back as well.
@@GeorgiaOverdrive Oh really? Do they also plan to bring back car trains? Both are something the DB gave up on. Would be interesting to see if they managed a new start with both.
@@jasmienkomugi9026 I wonder how busy the ÖBB car trains are. Here in America we only have one such service between Lorton, Virginia (about 45 min from DC) to Sanford, Florida (near Orlando). It’s largely meant for vacationing families.
@@OuijTube I mean the ÖBB is making good profit with them and I often see the nightjet coaches in normal intercity trains so I guess they do get quite busy.
The slippers and the complete breakfast were surprising to see when in a basic cabin, though I'd probably book a Deluxe to get more space and an ensuite toilet. The price, when compared to air travel plus hotel, seems very reasonable, and the train also spares you the ride between the cities and their airports. I'm pleased to hear that this sleeper service is very successful, and I can see why.
Riding from Vienna to Zurich during the day was one of the most spectacular train experiences of my life. I'm sure it's fun at night to be in a sleeper but I can't imagine doing that trip and not being able to see the awesome scenery at all.
I can tbh, the scenery gets boring
Kinda surprised about this service. I really hope their expansion plans come true anytime soon, we need overnight trains! Cannot be compared with overnight bus/coach...
You've spoken from my heart as well.
"Silentious" is a word that does not get used often enough. Great video!
I think Thibault is the only person I've ever heard use it 😅
Because it isn't a word?
@@SamNYC2000 you show your ignorance if the English language for everyone in the world 🤣🤣🤣. Not only is it a word, but it has a wonderful meaning, which you can try to discover.
@@isopath1 It is a word, just one that's never used in day-to-day life...
@@SamNYC2000 I've never used this word, but the flexibility of English is one of its strengths. Simply by putting word segments together in novel ways, or by adding pre- or suffixes to words, we get to make all new words. It happens all the time, and it's awesome.
It also means you can keep learning new vocabulary. :-)
I was impressed with the cabin's inside quietness! Properly good for sleeping trains!
A great video which brings back fond memories. There is nothing more exciting than an overnight train.
When my wife and I did this trip in 2013 (upper deck, 1st class) we found that there was no room for suitcases, only an overnight bag. Fortunately the attendant opened an unoccupied compartment and we were able to store our gear there. Other than that, a very pleasant experience.
This is a train lover's paradise! I am so glad I found this in my UA-cam. I totally subscribed! 👍
NightJet double deluxe is the best way to travel! ❤️ The double decker coaches are very nice, but I can hardly wait for the new ones.
Where can I buy tickets
3:38 there's actually three underground stations, Museumsstrasse, Löwenstrasse and the SZU station
great trip report on the double decker sleeper nightjet between zurich and Vienna i like that everything in your room had nightjet branded on it and i also appreciate that sbb and obb and some other countries want to make new sleeper services in the near future promoting not only an alternative to a hotel but also promoting rail services for the post covid era and also as you say more european interconnectivity by rail
As someone who worked in a life support facility for part of my own training, I am always happy to see products or similar things made by the people who work there.
I’ve had the pleasure to travel on the Swiss railway system and on OBB to and from Austria. Absolutely impeccable service. I’ll need to try the night train next time!
Great film.again. Our thanks. I particularly liked how you worked in the cross-sectional diagrams of the different sleeper cars.
NightJet is a great operation. I was very impressed with my Munich - Rome trip in '18...
Hey hey! My man Paul is noted in this one! Haha, I love it when my favorite trip report creators are out here mentioning each other, sharing the support and love. It's fantastic.
Thibault is a very generous and honest man.
Très belle vidéo de train de nuit en wagon lit . C'est très intéressant à regarder, qualité et confort. Top vidéo ferroviaire Thibault.
Salutations Pascal de Normandie 👍🚂🤩🤩 🤩🇨🇭🇦🇹👌
Enjoyed every bit of the journey with you. Thanks nice video of yours .
Nightjet videos are always my favourite. great video as always.
These videos are great. I'm somewhat planning a future vacation to Europe once we get covid under control. This would be a fun train to take when going to different countries. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a great train report!!! I saw that Nightjet has started up service from Amsterdam and Utrecht again. So i can do this in the near future!!!
Nice video as always.
I already went on the nightjet to zurich in the deluxe double decker sleeper and it was the best overnight train experience ive ever had. Greetings from France.
Merci!
Took the NightJet from Hannover to Vienna round trip and it was a great experience for me. Will do it again.
Simply amazing, i don't have words to describe how awesome is to travel in one of this trains, i am really impressed of HOW GOOD this train and this comany are, greatings from Argentina!!!
Maybe one day the railroads in Argentina will be rebuilt. I want to visit Argentina and take the train from Buenos Aires to Bariloche. An overnight service like this would be a dream.
@@OuijTube yes, there is actually a lot of lines that are being reactivated or upgraded so yeah some railroads are in very good shape actually but there is as well a lot of them wich are in very bad shape or they are simply abandoned
Merci pour la vidéo : superbe ! Ça fait rêver...
Very nice video !! I can’t wait to try more sleeper train in Europe !
Looking forward to using post-COVID, certainly a great way to travel. I would like to see a decent, premium dining car and bar on these trains.
The nj is/was the only connections with a good booking percentage
I remember being on a similar train back in 98 on a holiday from Copenhagen to Rome with my parents....
there was similar upper and lower cabins, but the lower ones could be (or at least ours were) connected....
I really love this CNL Coaches. I used to travel with them in Delux Cabins (upper Deck) to Freiburg (Breisgau) when the CNL still existed. I would love to travel in one of them once again...
Beautiful Zurich! I can't wait to return, one of the nicest cities I have ever visited.
So nice of you to hear. May I ask where you are from?
@@hockneyfication Sydney Australia :-)
Loved the train ride. It was great and lots of goodies came with it. 😃
Toujours aussi bien documenté et intéressant ! Merci !
Amazing stuff! I really hope that some day we'll see Nightjet services running out of St Pancras through the channel tunnel to the continent.
Damn man I'd die in peace if they do that.
I agree with you and what will happen is this a Class 92 attaches to the train at Calais-Fréthun from a SNCB HLE18 Aachen Liège Leuven Brussels Midi Calais-Fréthun because ÖBB lacks a locomotive that has KVB VACMA equipped
@@SimplyRailway Paris should be a destination for the Nightjet in 2022 ;)
@@Marquis-Sade If that were to Occur Frankfurt Am Main is the Separation point for the Nightjet to Paris Est if routed to Metz Saarbrucken Kaiserslautern Ramstein AFB OBB Taurus then DB BR181 to Metz where the BB15000 carries the Nightjet to Paris Est. Brussels Midi via Quevy SNCB HLE18 or OBB 1293 200 is separated for BB15000.
@@EpicThe112 ÖBB said that this will happen, so I guess it will :)
We travelled from Koeln to Innsbruck in January 2020 on an OeBB Nightjet. It was superb - and our amenity kit also included a small bottle of sparkling wine each! And the train we were on did include showers in the lavatories for the non-deluxe cabins. It was a wonderful experience!
Ive tried this once when i went to Europe last year and it was extremely good .
thanks so much 4 this upload... in Switzerland and Austria all is focused on sustainable traffic.... means a strong focus on trains, there s a great day train from vienna 2 zürich with a glass roof, very recomendable that trip
Well this looks like a lot of fun, as a kid stuck in his little Toronto bungalow I envy you mate.
This was recorded in 2019 I believe.
Fun fact: the RE460 hauls passenger carriages in Norway, except it’s painted gray with an advertisement that you should take the train on it! (At least that's one of the 4 liveries)
I've in Zurich station a number of times. One time my former Swiss exchange student took me to the shops. One of them had root beer! Costly! But, manufactured a few miles from where I live in New Jersey Great video
I like that you included some information about the difference between the WLBmz and the WLABmz. I thought it was a cool little bit of extra info about the train
Encore heureux que les oreillers soient de meilleure qualité.
Heyyyyy i was waiting this video for so long! Thanks for finally doing it.
Regards from Finland

Great review! Thank you for sharing!!
Boredom brought me here. This cheered me up. Great video and information
Et ça fait plaisir de te voir satisfait des petits cadeaux (bouteille d'eau, savonnette, sleepers...) : j'en aurais également été émerveillé !
Beau petit déjeuner, en sus !
Oui.
nice overnight train ride; I like the sleeper room; breakfast and snacks looked great.
Wasn't it gratifying to note this company does everything right. No accident - extreme attention to detail and consistent complete follow-through.
Amazing video😍
I especially like traveling by train in Europe, but I am upset that I can't do it these days. Watching your video made me feel like I was riding the night train myself and it was so exciting🤗
Thank you so much 🙏
Oui.
Love it!
I'm in the half of the video and wow, its so informative with a lot of infos of the trains, station and other things, Great. I love it
Videos like this makes me want to take sleeper train around in Europe! I’m loosely planning to take the sleeper train in Sweden from Gothenburg to Kiruna once this pandemic crap has gotten to a point where it’s safe to travel again, I grew up traveling a fair bit in the north and my soul is just longing for the north, but my nowadays disabled self can’t cope with long car rides any longer (used to go north by car and caravan) and you just don’t see much from an airplane, and I can’t sit for very long at a time so sleeper train would be the best of many worlds in a sense. I’ve only been on a sleeper train once (or well, twice as it was two ways) and that was in China between Suzhou in Jiangsu province, and Beijing. I was traveling first class with my ex husband and former in-laws as my former father in law needed to go to Beijing for some business stuff, and as my ex husband and I were in China at the time on vacation, it became a family trip so I could get to see Beijing too. I liked the experience of going by sleeper train, but had some difficulties sleeping on the way to Beijing as it was my first time ever being on a sleeper train and it was so much sounds and the movements of the train that I just wasn’t used to while laying in a bed (upper bunk in a 4 bed “room” in first class) and I was so curious to see things we passed by as well. On the way back from Beijing I slept like a rock though, exhausted from the days in Beijing and more used to the train too so it was easier to relax. Not sure about services on the sleeper train in China, if there’s cafe on board or so as we brought snacks and drinks ourselves to sustain us to our destination, no en suite toilet (think there may have been a sink though) but close to a common toilet and it wasn’t even a squat toilet. Overall it was a pleasant experience and most definitely made me want to try more sleeper trains
Wow - this looks like an awesome train. Thanks for the review! I would love to try this one day when the borders eventually reopen (Australia's international borders are effectively shut for the time being).
This station is a wet dream for train lovers. Just look at the different and diverse locomotives on the platform.
Thank you for sharing🙏
Sehr schönes Video viel gezeigt und erklärt das war super
Thanks for the video. The new Nightjet designs for 2022 look amazing! I think it will be especially a big upgrade for Liegewagen (Couchettes).
It will be a huge upgrade. Mini suites (or better said: "pods" or "capsules") for 1 or 2 travellers instead of 6 bunks couchettes, and of course the family compartments for 4 people travelling together.
Simply railways videos are simply amazing videos🤩🤩🤩🤩
Just to point out that the Spanish Renfe Train Hotel sleeper trains also included slippers in their amenity kits, in addition to shaving razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs, soap, shampoo you name it, all in a beautiful zippered fabric toiletry case. They had great private showers/toilets too. Also, some cabins had tv screens to watch movies from convertible bottom seats. So underrated.
A real shame that after covid 19 Renfe had to stop that service. Doubtful they will start running them again as travellers seem to opt for high speed trains these days and slower night trains were losing money.
0:50 My goodness, Zurich HB at Christmas time, I'm so sad that this year won't be the same...
Due to this fu**ing virus, I guess I could not travel my loved Milan to Munich NightJet this Christmas :(
Yes, indeed, unfortunately....
The virus is Humbug the flue killed more people in 2018 in my homeland Denmark. We need a reopening so we can get back driving trains.
@@Sohave Maybe your lucky in Denmark, but the rest of the world is counting deaths. Here in Italy approximately 600 people PER DAY are dying. Please, have respect. We're not enjoying ourselves with all those limitations.
@@lucaspublictransport995 I have read that the Italians are rebelling against the lockdowns In all fairness this still is not as bad as the Spanish flue yet the measures are more draconian.
@@lucaspublictransport995 Only the truly brainwashed believe the death counts. sorry, they're inflated. in the US, they count all causes of death as covid. this is New World Order.
Need to see more of you !
Great video! PS The doubledeck wagons can be used in Scandinavia as well. They formerly ran between Basel and Copenhagen.
I hope they will maintain these standards and will emerge as winner.Nice trip enjoyed a lot.
If the welcome package would have a dressing gown, too, I could well imagine you standing in a bakery in Vienna railway station in the morning in your nightjet slippers and dressing gown and having breakfast. - Best wishes, Heinz :)
It looked good to me knowing Finnish people well they are very clean and tidy.You can’t go wrong.👍
Beautiful journey. Here in India night trains are the way to go though it does not have such luxury as so many people needs to be accommodated. I have traveled couple of times by city night line from Germany to Zurich. It was good fun.
Loved this clip..so looking forward to being able to travel without insane regulations like pcr tests..as an FF (Paul Lucas is a name I know from air travel especially) locked out of my 2nd country I had hoped to being able to explore Europe..for the moment international train travel seems to be as restricted thus impossible as air travel! Never give up though !
Les comfort est bon mais quand-même limité: il n' y a pas de WC privé. La gare centrale (Hauptbahnhof) de Zurich est vraiment magnifique. Mais hélas Zurich est aussi une ville très "chère". Vidéo très informative. Merci.
That’s sooo cool , this train really superb, I always curious with this beauty when I saw her in Zurich HB, the only blue one standout among the reds and white
Live in Zürich, I really hope I could travel with them soon
Thank you!
Boa viagem ai simply lindo tren boa noite ai para vcs
Finally, Another Nightjet.
Thank you for this nice video! I plan to travel from Berlin to Zürich in a few weeks!
Great video... If I read the map of 2024 right, there will be two different trains/routes Zurich to Prague, one via Frankfurt and Dresden, the other via Linz. Can't wait!
Thank you for informative video. I wish NightJet included a lounge or cafe car so I could have a night cap and socialize with other passengers like we do on overnight trains in USA.
Yes, that's the only thing missing.
Great video !!
I enjoyed that , thanks !!
I love you videos! Keep it up and stay safe always!
ohhhh so nice zurich....... i love zurich
Как всё хорошо и комфортно.
Summer of 2019 my brother and I did a trip Berlin-Zurich-Vienna-Berlin on Nightjet sleepers. Other than the beds on the Vienna-Berlin train being a bit too short for us (thought still manageable. Narrower loading gauge on part of the line) it was quite all right even in the 6-bed compartments. Now if we could get good sleeper trains up to Scandinavia and into France and England it would be really great!
Surprisingly good breakfast even on the cheapest tickets, btw. And there are showers in the single-level wagons.
Great video as always mate; NEARLY as good as my Nightjet video 😉
Okay, you two. What a laugh riot!
I was wondering about the lack of distancing, then I saw the 2018/2019 timetable. Allright.
Today's entrance hall of Zürich HB (where the christmas market was) was originally the track hall of the station when built. When enlarging the station later, more tracks were built outside the hall, which then became the ticketing and waiting hall. The station was later expanded by several underground sections. Even though it's now quite large and complex, I still like that you can change trains on relatively short ways, also thanks to a generous pedestrian tunnel connecting all the tracks with direct access to the underground section.
The same trainset with double-deck sleeping-cars goes Wien - Zürich - Hamburg - Zürich - Wien in four nights. (Used to go to Berlin but they swapped the trainsets because the demand to Hamburg is higher.)
The economy compartments on the doubledeck sleeping-cars are cozy for single travellers. If you are booked with a stranger and both bring a lot of luggage, it can get awkward and I have sometimes seen suitcases standing in front of the compartment door because they wouldn't fit in.
How smart to place additions to train stations underground. Environmentally better as well as saving above ground space.
It was perfect view of train station
Do enjoy your videos really professional, thank you
Bom vídeo excelente parabéns
Such a luxurious train!
Wow !!! Switzerland 🇨🇭 is my dream country and also traveling on train . I hope one day I will make my dream come true. Thanks men and yes did 👍 and subscribed.
Love traveling by train. Would love to live in Switzerland.
Switzerland takes some beating - quietly good!
beautiful
Beautiful
I love the City Night Line earlier. I was often traveling from Basel/switzerland to Berlin and Back. Some Times i have Not more pay then 99 Euros per way. ! Perfekt for me as magician.
Really Nice 👍
👍👍👍Great Video👍👍👍
Not that it's relevant but my backing picture on Twitter was taken on the early morning train from Zurich to Vienna.
I just hope that the modernisation of the sleepers doesn't make it overly expensive which has happened with the Caledonian Sleeper in my opinion.
I have models of these two coaches 61 81 76-94 216-6 and 61 81 76-94 325-5 and now I know how defferent of them. Thank you for your review with so informative about this train. It was super!
Very good video!
This is wonderful video to watch it all
