Yeah the new dynamic pricing is really crappy, and collecting the bedding prematurely like that is really odd. Like why even have the rush, its a night train, you have all the way till the evening to wash everything and its not like you can even do it while the train is moving. I get it if you wanna get started with cleaning as soon as passengers are off but why not just collect it 15 minutes before the last stop then?

Yes, it's crappy, but people will pay it. Those who can't, will fly or drive. I managed to get a solo deluxe plus between Vienna and Hamburg for less than 200€ during the introduction, where they didn't really have lower limits for the prices. But since then it's meh. The mini cabins are nice, but could use more storage, especially if you get the upper bed.
There was awhile back a policy of Russian Railways (RZD) to collect bedding from passengers before such passengers' arrival at a train station that had been a destination for them, and I can recall 1 such video put out by the England-based Bald and Bankrupt TH-cam man of such a journey (a June 2019 one titled "You must do THIAS on Russian trains!") Another video, put out by the London-based Trek Trendy man, is of a train journey from that city to Istanbul (the July 2022 one titled "80 hrs from London to Istanbul by Sleeper Train"), mentions a claim by him of an attendant on the Bucharest-Istanbul segment having demanded the passenger's bedding. I dunno if Turkey's state-run railway still requires passengers to take their bedding to an attendant although given the Trek Trendy man's claim of no on-board catering services during the Bucharest-Istanbul segment of his journey, I wouldn't have wanted to back then take a long-distance train journey with Turkey's equivalent to RZD.
The issue with bedding afaik is that the service provider isn't öbb but newrest and to cut costs salaries are basically nit paid after the train arrives thus staff is incentived to start removing the bedding before the train arrives
I can explain that. I was a train manager for EuroNight (before it became NightJet) for the OBB. Some stations will not let staff stay on the train to finish working/cleaning so you are forced to get off just minutes after the guests. So there would not be physically any time to collect them. Also because we would not be allowed on the train before the guests on the return trip. So we would get on the train with the guests without being able to prepare the train in advance, as it would happen in Vienna or Munich (or all Austrian/German starting stations). When the train is packed, it's a lot of bedding. ;)
I travelled on the classic nightjet from Milan to Wien in a couchette compartment. The train was two hours delayed and the conductor came to collect my bedding about 90 minutes before arrival. I was so confused.
The problem with the delays is that almost every Nightjet passes through Germany, which has a terribly broken rail network with construction sites everywhere, failing switches and signals, etc.
Ofc that plays a role too, I don't know how reliable the new Nightjets have gotten now some of the early tethering issues have been resolved hopefully. But especially the older stock has lots of issues with reliability too. Iirc Berlin - Paris was shortformed and canceled a lot recently due to lack of availability of stock
I've travelled in the Mini-Cabin on the Vienna-Hamburg route twice now and have honestly fallen in love with the experience. Compared to travelling to Italy on the older style carriages last year (both couchette and sleeper class) it is a vastly improved experience and I'm already planning my next trips. Cost is a factor, but I'm willing to splurge on the experience and sustainability.
Good to hear that your review of the "hard product" mini cabin itself is positive. Personally, I can live with some delays and found that prices _are_ tolerable if you book _very far_ in advance. So I'm always going to try to book as far in advance as possible.
The cheapest I have seen was 59 euro for the capsule, and 115 euro for a sleeper bed with own WC, if you book early enough to be the first person in that room (the price jumps once there is another person(s) booked for that room), which is not bad considering it is a transport + hotel + time saver (you do nothing at night anyways, instead of wasting time for an extremely early or late flight)
I really don't get why they don't have a bunch of programmable key cards on board, like when you check into a hotel. I thought that's the whole point of these cards. In the old nightjet carriages you sometimes need a regular key to lock the door. And guess what, half of them where missing. So i really thought the new key cards would work like hotels...
I guess it's cheaper to have one programming device in the Wien depot, but why it wasn't discovered missing in the depot then seems like a bit of a fail
I hate ÖBB Nightjets robotic policies. When I took the nighttrain from Amsterdam to Vienna we were stuck with 4 in a couchette with 3 beds. Meanwhile there were other couchettes with fewer than 3 persons or entirely empty locked away. That just made it extra uncomfortable for no reason.
These single compartments make financial sense for railway. Stack 3 persons in individual capsules that take less space than a normal 4 person room. The one problem I see is luggage. If you choose an overnight train, chances are much higher this is part of multi day trip and you may have more luggage than fits in that tiny luggage box you showed. And if travelling on business, have fun getting into your busioess suite in that capsule where you can't stand up. With regards to delays, it all depends on whether these are ÖBB equipment or track related. Overnight si whene may railway onwers do track maintenance or run freight trains so you can't fault ÖBB for those types of delays. Over time, I suspect Nightjet schedules may become more realistic based on on-time statistics.
you can store luggage outside the boxes in other parts of the train as well AFAIK. that's of course less secure as you can't keep your eye on it nor completely locked away but it's unlikely your dirty cloths will get feet IMHO :)
Shocking that there has been a fare hike and dreaded "dynamic pricing" brought in. In this day and age you would think the prices could be lowered to encourage people to travel more sustainably
In earlier times they did not collect the bedding but unfortunately people took the pillows and branded sheets as some kind of souvenir so that had to start to collect the sheets so that they dont get stolen anymore.
@@Simon-Andersen I am completely on your side but i guess maybe they also want to prevent situations where they collect it and people already put them into their bags.
I would love to try one of these capsules or compartments someday, but some of these routes are so scenic that I don't see doing it by night, especially Vienna to Zurich. If there was a Paris or Amsterdam to Berlin train I'd consider it, as I've taken that route and while scenic it's not alpine scenic. And, while the prices might seem steep by European standards, compared to Amtrak or Via Rail in the USA or Canada, they're bargains. Of course many of their routes are multiday and not merely overnight, and they have proper dining cars with included hot meals and sightseer lounge cars and cafes.
It’s a great idea but just implemented very…weirdly. I had the same experience of the conductor not having the key card for my cabin, as did my neighbor.
Just because the train goes from Vienna to Rostock does not mean you are intended to do so. If you take a bus in a city you also don‘t ride it on the whole route, but only a short section. Same here.
I know, it was just a bit of a goof on how ridiculous that route seems on the surface. We have a similar train like that in Denmark I've used for excatly a few times, only shorter journeys go get home from the airport late etc 😅
Some of the carriages on the Nightjet train the narrator took had equivalents to capsule hotels. I plan to, if I ever do get to take an overnight train, book a sleeping compartment although just what that will be remains TBD.
It's not that simple. EU rules for train passages rights are not great. They do state that you can get avfull or psrcial refund for delays of more than 60 minutes but only if it's before departure and you decide not to take the joutney due to this delay. Ifn you've already traveled part of the journey the refund is only for the part you did not use. You can also choose to contiunue with rerouting or use it on a different date (with no refund). If due tonthe delay there is no more purpose fornthisntrip they need to provide you with a free ticketbto the origin of the journey. Compensation gor delays between 1-2 hours is 25% and 50% for 2h or more but it does not apply on apretty wide extraordinary circumstances list. Also "EU countries can decide to exempt some rail services. These exceptions may apply to urban, suburban, regional, long-distance domestic trains and trains which are operated strictly for historical or touristic purposed. EU countries can also exempt international trains travelling from their territory to non-EU countries - where most of the journey occurs outside the EU and includes at least one scheduled stop in a non-EU country" They cannot "exempt cross-border international rail journeys between EU countries. OBB specify onbtheir website the basic rights mentioned but not the 25% or 50% refund for delays on journeys you took.
7:37 When I took a Night Train From Budapest to Prague I talked to a Scottish Guy he said his Night Train in Germany was 8 Hours late to its final destination.

@@Simon-Andersen ye ok. Hope those problems wont hit the locomotives of Denmark, as they look the same as those introduced a year or two ago. For the german cars for pax.
I still personally think the new design shouldn’t even include the cab car. It seriously makes me mad that when they try to couple to another carriage with the cab car. You can’t even walk in between (I get that I don’t think passengers are meant to get in to the portion of a train that they shouldn’t be in.) But that could just be solved with locking the gangway door. And hell if you need to couple 2 nightjet sets you can’t even walk in between the sets cuz of the bloody cab car :/ The new night jet trains should’ve been just new carriages overall and no cab cars involved.
100€ buys you a nice hotel with space,ensuite , pool / spa (?) Buffet breakfast Then Fly,take an express train by day, Or pay to stay in a 2 metre X 1 metre box with 2 bread rolls.
You know that one flight from Vienna to Hamburg will cost you 100€ and above so if you want to compare it with the same budget you should bring a tent or maybe raft on the Elbe or something
Delays have nothing to do with the train itself. As for the price, it costs a fortune to run these night trains especially cross border. The couchette mini cabins are revolutionary btw. For one, it greatly increases the appeal to solo travellers who want some rest and privacy

And wasn't the Paris nightjet canceled a few months ago due to lack of carrigies and more stock being broken than usual?
