There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Hamburg (Germany), taking between approximately 6 and 8 hours: Namely the NJ 470, the EN 322 and the EN 472. These lines are operated by ÖBB and SBB & RDC.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
ÖBB night trains typically feature three types of carriages: seats, couchettes, and sleepers.
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths, while the sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people, whereas sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
They may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink.
The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS) and RDC Deutschland operate a night train in cooperation, currently serving the route between Basel and Malmö with a stop in Copenhagen.
On board are sleeper, couchette, and seating cars with approximately 350 seats in total. The sleeper cars offer classic compartments for up to three people and a washbasin, while the couchette cars feature 4-person and 6-person compartments. There is an accessible compartment as well as toilets and showers in the corridor.
A bistro on board serves passengers with meals and drinks between Basel and Padborg.
Bicycles cannot be transported due to operational reasons.
