'Hotels on rails': Plans for new network of European sleeper trains unveiled
CNN
Midnight Trains hopes to completely reinvent the overnight train experience by launching a "hotel on rails" that offers a "harmonious alternative" to the more basic night train services associated with Europe.
(CNN) — Just a few years ago, it looked as though European sleeper trains were on their way to becoming a thing of the past as services were continually cut back. But Europe's night train network has experienced something of a revival over the past 12 months, with a number of national rail providers announcing new routes between various different cities. Now a French start-up founded by Adrien Aumont and Romain Payet, the duo behind French crowdfunding website KissKissBankBank, has revealed plans for a new network of overnight services from Paris to 12 European destinations, including Edinburgh and Porto.More Related News
