Night train from Würzburg to Dortmund

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?

ÖBB night trains typically feature four types of carriages: seats, couchettes, the compact Mini Cabin, 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 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?

Options range from seats and shared couchettes to private couchette compartments, sleeper compartments and 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?

There is a free ski compartment. Drinks and snacks are available in the bistro on board.

What do children pay?

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