Last night, I caught a sleeper train from Vienna to Hamburg. This time, I travelled in one of ÖBB NightJet’s new Mini Cabins: one-person compartments, similar in concept to a Japanese capsule hostel pod.

Here are my impressions. (tl;dr: I strongly recommend it and would do it again.) 🧵

Sometimes having an ethical compass isn't great. Right now I could be putting up the tray table ready to land in wanker coffee Central. Instead I get to spend the night at the mercy of NSW Trains. But look out the window at the mountains and the forests and you will be rewarded... and reminded why I'm taking the great southern goat track and not the red roo. #SleeperTrain #XPT #Joyced #Melbourne

#HongKong’s new #HighSpeed #SleeperTrains launched in summer 2024 and while they aren’t quite as fast as flying, or daytime #BulletTrains, what they do offer is a night’s rest. #CNN takes a trip on the new service from #Beijing which offers a perfect weekend getaway.

There are Wales warnings in rail areas Viking and German Bight as I set off again #NotFlying from Sweden to Britain.
Two night trains and a day ferry in between. 45 hours door to door is kind of leisurely, but resilient with luck. Schedule has already survived the total cancellation of all fast catamaran ferry services from Malmö to Rostock, and a 90-minute retiming of the Berlin–Brussels #SleeperTrain.
