Night train from Essen to Jenbach

ÖBB

The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).

What types of carriages are available on ÖBB trains?

The ÖBB usually offer four types of carriages in their night trains: seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers.

What's the difference between seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleeper cars?

While seats are only for the bravest, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers offer a more comfortable journey. The couchettes usually feature simple and rather narrow berths, while the Mini Cabin provides a compact private space for one person. Two adjacent Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers boast beds with duvets and pillows and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people. The Mini Cabin is a private space for one person – two adjacent Mini Cabins can be connected for traveling together. Sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.

What amenities do sleeper cars offer?

Sleepers may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink. The Mini Cabin bridges the gap between couchettes and sleepers, offering solo privacy at a lower price point.

UEX

UEX (Urlaubs-Express) runs seasonal night trains and car-carrying trains between Germany and Austria.

What accommodation is available?

You can choose a seat, a couchette berth, a whole couchette compartment, a private sleeper compartment or connected sleeper cabins.

Can I take my car?

You can bring your car, but only between the car terminals, and you book the vehicle along with your ticket.

What about skis and catering on board?

Skis travel free in the ski compartment. A bistro on board sells drinks and snacks.

What do children pay?

Children with their own seat or bed pay a reduced fare.
