OBB knock it out of the park yet again. NightJet has almost single-handedly saved overnight rail travel in Europe. What a great product.
I wish SNCF and RENFE would get on board and take sleeper trains seriously again. I love RENFEs Trenhotel, but they've been cutting the routes so much. The west of Europe really has been left out. A Brussels/Koln to Barcelona/Madrid sleeper would be amazing. (either using high-speed lines, or a Talgo set on regular track). There's a TGV Brussels to Perpignan but only as a day train which is a real time-waster, and hardly a comfortable journey, and having to do that *then* change again to an onward train is absurd in the 21st century. We want a god damn sleeper with a god damn shower and a nice menu with those nice fluffy rolls you get on Nightjet, godammit. Oslo to Frankfurt/Berlin is a real missing link too - Norway really has fallen off the map.
and beeing from(oh we are so green - NOT!) Germany I just cant congratulate you enough to this !
Exactly! Great experience!
"NightJet has almost single-handedly saved overnight rail travel in Europe". Pardon? In *Western* Europe. Sleeper trains have never been interrupted in Nordic, Central and Eastern Europe. I don't know why West Europeans always believe that Europe is limited to their part of the continent
They need dining cars, or at least bar cars, but otherwise they seem pretty luxurious for modern trains! I only hope the windows will be openable for a long time to come; it should be required by law. :-D
In the birthplace of Mozart, you wouldn't expect anything less than a musical locomotive, would you?
He was born in Salzburg. He died in Vienna. ... but close enough. ;-)
@@stehgrad Both in Austria last time I looked?
Mozart in WIEN geboren????
@@peteranreiter1112 Meant Austria! This was about Austrian railways.
Yes, it's amazing. So beautiful!
That Taurus startup music scale is one of the best train sounds out there!
When developers have fun and go c, d, e, f, g, a, h, c
Sure is and these sounds you're looking at DB BR182 MRCE BR182 ÖBB1116 & 1016. ÖBB 1216 DB BR183 New lacks the sound.
And also one off the best looking Locomotive!! ❤️
14:50 You can almost see a dangerous reflection on the shower head, but I watch Simply Railway for the plot, of course.
This is actual proof that he did use the shower, rendering his review even more reliable!
As far as I know, the confirmation of delay (27:30) is not only so that you can justify yourself to your employer or something. With 120 minutes delay or more, according to the European Rail Passenger Rights, you are also entitled to a refund of 50% of the ticket price.
It's really nice that they just hand out those confirmations. Usually you have to explicitly ask for it. Kudos to ÖBB!
do you know how that would work if you had a say eurostar connection but with a non refundable ticket ?do OBB do a single ticket Wien to London with this change in Brussels ?
@@dazlebluefrogify To avoid such problems you should book the entire trip with the same company. I had a journey from Nice to Brussels. Nice to Paris by SNCF, Paris to Brussels with Thalys. But I booked everything with SNCF. The Nice to Paris night train was cancelled, and so I missed my Thalys train. But SNCF then gave me a ticket for the next Thalys. If I had booked the Paris to Brussels train with Thalys, I would have had to pay for a new ticket.
The fact that there was ONLY a delay of 2 hours amazes me. you probably now that that was one of the worst rain storm in belgium/ german/France history.
Great review, live the video.
Wat delay? Trains are trains.
As someone living in Germany, I can safely say that rail service in Austria feels superior. In my experience the Railjet/Nighjet trains have always had functioning wifi and air conditioning, and the stations throughout the country feel far more modern than Germany. Hope that in the coming years the DB goes through a large scale modernization of its stations and infrastructure.
Actually, it is the “modernizing” of DB that is the problem. Unlike OBB, the politicians and managers in Germany demand that DB act in the way they think a private corporation should act, to pursue profit. So everything DB does is focussed on getting an outcome as cheaply as possible. So they give minimum service, minimum repairs to their trains, minimum amenities to passengers, minimum customer service, minimum comfort on trains, minimum track servicing. Instead of focussing funds on core operations, they spend grandiose amounts on megaprojects like the new Stuttgart station and putting in high speed rail everywhere, even though it is massively expensive and isn’t needed by 95% of passengers. They also drain their funds on corporate empire building by acquiring companies in other countries. Now they don’t even buy loks from German companies anymore, instead they are buying them from Spain. Overall, DB is the ugliest collision between a once-glorious train service and extreme neoliberalism.
Thank God, OBB and SBB have not been so badly infected by this deforming disease as DB and seem to have more sensible and grounded leadership.
Eating breakfast in your warm, dry and comfortable room while it's pouring rain outside is what makes it really nice
I would definitely travel on this night jet having ensuit toilet and shower is awesome you don't need to share
The New Caledonian sleeper in the UK also provides berths with toilet and shower
Tried the NJ in September. We arrived in Vienna 45 minutes late, which was ok, but during the night, we had no electricity. That means no light, no water, no flushing toilet and no air conditioning or even fresh air. That spooked me in the tiny Deluxe jail cell, so I went looking for an attendant somewhere in the train twice. They couldn't fix it, but somehow everything worked again at 4h40. I filed a complaint and half of our ticket was refunded for the technical breakdown. The delay of 45 minutes wasn't enough. Would like to try the NJ again though.
I like the fact that Nightjet will arrive at Barcelona by 2024
Nothing better to have a coffee and breakfast in your own sleeping cabin in a night train while watching the moving landscape 😎
You need to know, that this day, a huge flooding in the west of Germany between Aachen and Cologne, the south of the Netherlands and Belgium occured, that destroyed many railroad track, as towns and did cost many lives. A 2 hour deleay is more than reasonable for this trip. Your train also might be the last train on the track between Cologne and Aachen before it got destroyed before the huge flood occured. The rain destroyed a lot in that region and your video might show the last appearance of the old tracks.
8:25 one of the most classical sound ever once they throttle their song is like Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-doooooooo... and there he goes
Vienna Hbf station is massive. Looks like a airport but more like a train terminal. Very nice station. Clean, spacious, lots of local shops and everything it’s got. And that lounge room is also very nice as it’s got that hotel feel.
It is brand new opened in fall 2014. The old one was completely torn down and this new station built.
In French and German: La gare principale de Vienne (Wien Hauptbahnhof) est une belle gare moderne et propre avec beaucoup de boutiques. J'adore cette gare. Un WC privé c'est super confortable (surtout pour les voyageurs âgés). Le retard de 2 heures était causé par des fortes pluies. Merci pour votre vidéo intéressante. Vive l'ÖBB. Vive le rail. Wien Hauptbahnhof ist ein schöner, moderner und sauberer Bahnhof mit vielen Geschäften. Ich liebe ihn. Ein eigenes WC ist super komfortabel (besonders für ältere Reisende). Die Verspätung von 2 Stunden hat ihren Grund in starken Regenfällen. Danke für Ihr interessantes Video. Es lebe die ÖBB. Es lebe die Schiene.
Yes this service looks great. About a decade ago I went from Brussels to Vienna and back. The night train started only from Frankfurt, so I had to take the ICE Brussels-Frankfurt first. Very doable, but of course this is much better and more comfortable.
You are totally correct on the 10 am arrival. 8:00 would be awesome, you could have actual meetings in Brussels scheduled and if you take TGV or Eurostar you could be in Paris and London before noon. That would be awesome and could start to compete with flights (which are still too cheap).
Those coaches are so quiet! What a service! Excited to see that nighttrains are back! Great video, like always.
As an American, I have very little knowledge of European trains but of all the reviews you've done this Nightjet looks to me to be the hands down winner. WHAT A TRAIN!!! Gorgeous front to rear, fast, quiet and all the amenities you need. I particularly loved the window shade instead of the usual curtains...PERFECT. If I had to nitpick the ONLY thing different I would like to see is the bed parallel to the window like the Amtrak Superliners but other than that...WOW...JUST WOW!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
The problem would be that more space is taken for a single cabin. Placing the beds crosswise allows more beds per car.
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d Just add an extra car, right? Then you would get the same view from your bed as you would from a seat. It's amazing...But yeah...an extra car cost more money, and it appears to be a very competitive business over there.
@@deusvult7559 You have to calculate how many passengers you get income from when purchasing a car. Why compromising there if you can fit more people in without a compromise in comfort? In the end it is a business. And even if they lose money don't overdo it!
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d Understood...Amtrak loses money every year and is Govt. subsidized. (it wouldn't exist otherwise) They are amazing to ride on though. Of course they can't match the speed and efficiency of European trains but as you say, they must make a profit to remain competitive.
@deusvult7559 Amtrak does not own the tracks it runs on; its compelled to be the 2nd priority to freight (which owns the tracks). Moreover, Amtrak is greatly underfinanced by Congress since the GOP Members of Congress have consistently been trying to kill it for decades.
Amazing video. The locomotive startup sounds like an orchestra tune.
I was about to ask if this is on-purpose. Sounds almost like a scale!
An homage to the Sound of Music, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do… and then it goes out of tune. 😑
@@joermnyc modal and semitonal
@@rockoutdave411 its on purpose, this is has to do with traction system of the Siemens Taurus, it uses GTO tech
I'm a train and I approve this video!.
Yet another superb report - if there were awards for train videos you would be a winner. No 'wannabe' presenters, just the right amount of information, and showing what can be achieved when a train operator not only gets its act together but sets the standard. Thank you.
Wonderful report. Love the new Hauptbahnhof in Vienna (I can actually remember the Südbahnhof in 1971!) and OËBB. One small comment: at 10:20 you describe traveling eastwards to Germany - it is really westwards.
Wow! Euro glamor and style. What a dream. Overnight train from Vienna. Yes, I also like a cool room to warm up under the covers. What a view.
Truly exceptional service, cleanliness, accessories, food and Ambience
Fajnie, że nocne pociągi sypialne w Europie wracają do łask (it's cool that overnite sleeper trains in Europe are back in favor).
Vienna-Paris and the brand new cars coming up in ‘22 or ‘23 will be awesome indeed.
I liked this video so much. It gets me in the mood to travel to the beloved Brussels from the charmful jovial Vienna. The ÖBB level of service is very good. I liked the drinks and the offers of the menu card. And the ÖBB Lounge is so super friendly and cozy.
As usual, an excellent report. I look forward to Fridays!
The locomotive is changed in Aachen.
The ÖBB locomotive goes there (NS Vectron taking over the Amsterdam portion in Köln West).
The nightjet Zürich - Amsterdam will have older sleeping-cars rebuilt from T2S, no private bathrooms/showers and only 160 km/h. All 200 km/h sleeping-cars are engaged and apparently the doubledeck sleeping-cars that used to go there in the CityNightLine era aren't usable any more ...
correct and if you have TSW 2 Koln Aachen with Rapid Transit then the DB BR182 DLC for Rapid Transit freight Main Spessart Bahn layer will place you on the cab of DB BR182 OBB 1116 with the Chris Lohner voice prompts for Sifa PZB LZB which is what's going on the locomotive. Even the NS Dutch Railways BR193 has it too. Nightet always uses Main Spessart Bahn Wurzburg Lohr Heigenbrucken Aschaffenburg Frankfurt Am Main to reach Brussels Amsterdam from Wien & Innsbruck Hbf
Thank you for taking the time to make such amazing videos for us to watch.
Between Welkenraedt and Liège your train took the freight line via Montzen because passenger line via Verviers was already damaged
The last train trips I did in Europe was in 2013 and I remembered the center of the night train network was in Munich, you have train to Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Poland, and also even north to Netherlands and Hamburg. There are also westward night trains to Paris.
Maybe now that OEBB has launched so many overnight routes, it is indeed the new hub
Great review, Benjamin, of a very fine train. So nice that you work with your brother. Thanks..this was special
I'm envious of you folks in Europe. You have awesome services and rolling stock. Here in my part of Australia, the best we can hope for, outside of the luxury/tourist focussed Indian Pacific and Ghan, are nearly 40 year old rolling stock and locomotives based on the HST in the UK. Great for railfans, not so great for travelling on haha. However in 2023 they will be replaced by CAF Civity bi mode trains. Edit: What does Hbf mean? I see it a lot on these videos in Germany and Austria.
Hauptbahnhoff, can be compared to central station, meaning the main station of a city.
Howbanhoff it's a rail liner station in germanie
@@stijnyskout6317 Or Hauptmannhaus as I call it
@@stijnyskout6317 but just with one 'f'
Main railway station
Ah, das ist die Reisekultur!
Just like it was shocking to arrive at Südbahnhof from Czechia in the 90s it's still shocking to arrive at Hauptbahhof these days. There's so much little diffrencies that the overall gap is simply gigantic. Staying envious and hoping I'll get one more chance to get in there for a visit. I am not saying it's NCC Enterprise but it exactly shows how the job should be done. Design, efficiency and simplicity all in one. And the trains are pretty long too. That's always a good sign. For me more than enough. Yeah, even railways could be working I told myself.
Thank you for your report.
27:30 That slip is so you can show your boss or your spouse that it wasn't *YOUR* fault that you were late this time. I think they do something similar in Japan.
That shower/basin unit in the bath was ingenious!
srsly the locomotive has a starting melody, that's dope
... Really...??? Taurus knows Music...???!!! That's so cool... he he... So clean and beautiful tracks, just look at that immaculate White Gravel... First World Train, awesome...!! Perfect timing for the subtitles, you can "calmly" read them and still enjoy the view, congratulations on that matter.
I saw this train pass by between Leuven and Brussels the other day ! It's strange because at this point it's only 4 cars !
Gulp. They'll probably axe it, then?
@@goqsane I understand that they split it in Cologne with some cars stopping there and others going on to Amsterdam. Would not make sense to have three separate trains leave Vienna.
Another great video sir! :) I like the later arrival as a tourist but a little earlier for business people maybe...
Thank you for sharing this great video...:):):)
Great tour of the shower compartment and little else
Awesone trio report!! Awesome accommodations!! Sorry for delay and rainy weather. But arrival safe and sound😀😀♥️♥️
2 hours late? Nearly on time for Amtrak!
In germany that s normal xD
Poland: excuse me? :D
Romania of course :)
that is accurate,VERY ACCURATE
VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
Very interesting and so special review 😉 Thanks!
That is a sleek fancy train!
8:28 you can tell it's a heavy train (14 carriages!) by the slower and slightly irregular Taurus tone when departing
Merci beaucoup pour cette excellente vidéo ! Quel merveilleux service !
Thank you very much for this great video ! What a wonderful service !
Very cozy sleeper train, can take a sleep for over night with a great place
WHAT A CRACKING VIDEO!! Good job Thibault, congrats.
just a few adjustments to your videoblog: the tables from your cabin are not supposed to be stored where they are now. the breakfast in included in the price. it has already been paid for. however, a certain amount of items are included. any extras are available at cost. a refill is free in sleepingcar, however it must be either coffee or tea.
Back in 1999 i took the CNN City Night line train from Vienna to Cologne, luxury single cabin with dawn feather blankets, shower in cabin and bathrope and private breakfast incl. Champagne. The round trip ticket costed 750 DM back then the equivalent of 750 Euros today with inflation considered. I'll never forget that luxury night ..there was even a bar/nightclub car on the train. Perfect experience!
Cool, Holger. The past form of 'cost' is 'cost', not 'costed'. Het beste.
@@goqsane oh and btw , next time and before you embarrass yourself again, you should double check online. It's free!
@@methefugitive Hey Holger. I'm not the one who said costed for past form of cost. It's not a mistake. It's your absolute ignorance.
@@methefugitive I still have a screenshot of your incredibly narrow-minded racist primitive thinking. You must be a pretty sad man, huh?
Good evening Holger. Did you finally get to spend some time with an English book? Make sure to read on the 'irregular' verbs part. You might be surprised it's 'put' and not 'putted', as well.
A wonderful review! I want to ride with it. Thank you for the inspirations
Great video !!
I think the 10:00h arrival is perfect. Very civiised!
great sleeper! wow
You've convinced me to take overnight trains on the European continent I'll check out your other vlogs for the other routes you recommend.
Inspired by your video, I just took the night jet ( sleeper car) from Venice to Vienna! What a great experience, service and alternative to flying! Thanks for sharing your videos.
Wonderful journey 😍
Omg that departure sound!
I SO disagree about the arrival time. I hate it when you get woken up at dawn on a sleeper! I'm NOT a morning person, so arriving 2 hours late is a bonus!
Brilliant trip!
Right. I once took a night train from Paris to Castelnaudary. Since Castelnaudary was the first stop, we arrived already at 5.40 am, on a public holiday in November. Imagine being in the station of a completely deserted small town in the dark, with the first train leaving only two hours later.
The Taurus sounds like a keyboard when it leaves 🤣
That breakfast with a view was love :)))
I'm in New Orleans and that video sent me here! Love this channel,❤️
In the Deluxe compartments, you have another electric outlet in the bathroom.
Well done Benjamin. OBB is great.
Great capture !
That was very informative,obbnightjet certainly have the european sleeper market covered very well..
What a great trip, and yes, Overnight Train arriving after 8.00 is considerably late. For me, Overnight Train should be arrived at before 7.00 or between 7.00 and 8.00. Great Room, great amenities, and yes Great breakfast.
This is something I want to do on my next trip to Europe. It is amazing that you were able to book this for about $245 U.S.
What a nice video, thank you for sharing. Thumb up to Siemens !
You have found a wondrous life, riding trains each day and capturing the experience, and making money from it. Bravo! I love that view from the cafeteria, looking out the long line of windows at the trains! Reminds me of a few scenes from Star Trek (A TV episode and a movie) where people are looking out a long line of windows at the ENTERPRISE in a spaceport.
I took a Swiss Narrow Gauge train tour in 2010 that included, Bernina Express, Glacier Express and Golden Pass. I remember eating mouthwatering gelato in Tirano.
Been wanting to go on this train since February 2020. Time to get on it.
Great vlog as always, your content is first class, agree that 10am arrival to far to late if people are using this for business in Brussels, once again Nightjet nailed it, Nightjet should seriously looked into what it would take to travel through the Channel tunnel and start Sleeper from London, as they’d making a killing.
You mean getting half of the old Renaissance train sets in Canada for ÖBB Nightjet London St Pancras Wien Hbf via Aschaffenburg Hbf Main Spessart Bahn Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen Westbahn Linz Wien Hbf. Locomotives are Class 92 Calais-Fréthun to London St Pancras Calais-Fréthun Lille Brussels Midi Liege Aachen Hbf SNCB HLE18. ÖBB1116 1016 DB BR182 Aachen Hbf
With an arrival time of 10.00., the alternative would be an early morning flight at 7.30 or 8.00 catching which would mean getting up at 5.00-5.30 to get to the airport and deal with security. I don’t like early starts and prefer to arrive the evening before. Otherwise it is a choice between a short night at home and early start or longer sleep time in a bunk.
Boa viagem simply lindo tren gostei
Muy bonito el video
Nice ride! The price seems fair, considering you didn't have to pay for a hotel room.
It's fun to see how almost every European rail company has stopped running night trains because they are unprofitable, and ÖBB is expanding it all over Europe because they can run it with a profit, even without subsidies.
no. they cant. on certain particular lines they might get +- 0. but overall this is the result of a countryvhaving the interest in establishing a rail communication network because it benefits them. öb where asked ti expand in to the nordics but as there where no subsidies available at the time they declined.
@@johndoe1909 Too long distances with too few inhabitants. And restrictive rules for trains in the two tunnels to and from Zealand. It's much better to focus on continental routes.
In ten years, maybe, when the new Danish-German tunnel is ready, if demand for night trains then is sufficient.
My friend ...now in. 🌍Europe is not option ...Climate. Change ideology will destroy the airlines company's ,so the rail night travel must become nr 1 ..
@@jmolofsson The issue is that Sweden, Norway and Finland all have night trains of our own, and Denmark isn't exactly the hottest market. It's more likely you'll see SJ open up more of the old sleeper routes they used to run.
can't wait to get on a sleeper train again.
Very nice. Would love to go on one.
Nice video!
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Great narration
Deluxe accommodations and service! Except for the delay, you couldn't ask for more! I hope that they will continue to offer the ensuite toilet/shower as an option. In the US, the newer trains have eliminated them.
That's what gets me, Bob; why _did_ Amtrak get rid of them?
Wow 14 Carriages is a loooong Night Jet.
Great video. That was a beautiful train. Thank you for sharing your videos. I look forward to seeing your next video. Very exciting.
Nice video did you enjoy the breakfast it does sound very austrian with the rolls & jam.
Fun fact for those who know: The sleeper train from Vienna to Amsterdam has the number 420 😉
Salut Thibaud, tout d'abord merci pour tes reports, ils sont super intéressant et pratique ........A quand un trip en Russie pour teste la flèche rouge entre St Petersburg et Moscou et aussi le classique transsibérien?? :-) Bonne continuation !!
Vienna to London Nightjet service would be nice too!
Agreed. I hope that will be possible.
Nice coverage
Love the sound the engine makes when starting. What a pleasant way to say "Look out I'm moving".
I prefer 10 am to 7 am arrival times, I am not a morning person. And nothing is open at 7 am. So you get there early and have nothing to do because nothing is open.
I agree with the last part. I used to take the night train from Milan to Brussels in the 1990s. Arriving at 7.00, I used to pass the time in the wonderful Metropole Hotel drinking coffee and reading newspapers before the city woke up. Sadly those trains do not exist any longer and the Metropole also closed its doors due to Covid and the side effects of pedestrianisation.
Wanted to take that train the other way around, but corona just fucked everything up. so scheduled to next year. Gonna start in Aachen (my hometown), head to Vienna and from there on further to Slovakia.
At least, now I know what to expect from the train, so thanks for the video ;-)
Private room + bathroom with bathroom, great!
Your videos are fantastic about these trains
In South Africa we have a VERY VERY bad railway system as they steel the rail tracks and the copper cables for the signal system.
The say it could take ten years to get the system working properly again
Amo tus vídeos, este verano quise tomar el tren nocturno desde Viena a Florencia pero ya estaba todo vendido.
Un abrazo desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱🏳️🌈
