Regiojet

Regiojet operates both night trains and night buses across Europe, providing various travel options.

What do Regiojet night trains offer?

Their night trains feature several types of cabins, including seats that can recline slightly for added comfort, as well as private sleeping couchettes that accommodate one to four passengers, equipped with bedding and duvets. Wifi is available and breakfast and coffee are complimentary.

What are the night buses like?

The night buses are designed with comfortable, spacious seats that recline, providing ample legroom. Each bus is equipped with individual power outlets, free hot drings, free WiFi, and onboard entertainment systems to enhance the travel experience. Buses also feature a toilet.

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?

Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths. The Mini Cabin is a compact sleeping option for solo travelers – two Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes accommodate up to six people, Mini Cabins are designed for one person each but two can be combined for couples, while 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.

DB

Does Deutsche Bahn still operate night trains?

Deutsche Bahn (DB) exited the actual night train business in 2016. However, it operates around a dozen Intercity and Eurocity trains that run exclusively at night.

What are the travel conditions like on these trains?

In these night trains, there are only first and second class seats. The lights stay on all the time and there is no way to recline the seats.
