@Jo
2015 DB: come pick up our night trains for “free” we hate them, ÖBB take it away

2023 DB: we invest in the future and invest in Nightjet!

@maartje @Jo but they use new nightjet's? At least they write 2023/24 they get new ones on some routes and that sounds promising… wonder how they will be.

@rugk @Jo those are on Austria-Germany routes pending Italy approval. No approval to Belgium/France

For European Sleeper this puts pressure on the Prague extension (the original route plan) and the Barcelona route.

Let’s also not forget Amsterdam-Berlin is also a huge market.

One weird advantage: the Nightjets in Belgium take the HSL, which means they need approval for their carriages so the part to Brussels is kina small. With first delivery of the new NJs for Germany they hopefully can use that 200kmh stock. However ES does no high speed lines (yet, Barcelona will) so easier to find stock

6 days per week Brussels will get a connection to Berlin and 3 days per week to Vienna!

@maartje@blahaj.social And I'm positively surprised that they found a solution that doesn't destroy other long-distance.

@maartje Isn’t there already a NightJet three days per week Brussels–Vienna?

@verbeeld yeah they switch days to alternate with ES so one day NJ Vienna/Berlin (splitted in DE) one day ES via Amsterdam

@maartje These NightJets won’t stop in Antwerp, as opposed to the European Sleeper? (I loved boarding in Antwerp Central Station!)

@verbeeld no they do HSL2 to Liège. They follow the ICE route to Germany. Where they get a locomotive change in Aachen (they charter an SNCB HLE18 for 200kmh approval)

That will be the biggest route difference
