As a designer I don't like at all the Nightjet livery, they could've done a better, cleaner job as they did on the Railjet. There is no need for stars and text over text on the doors, a clean blue and frost white would've been suffice. I think they will change it a bit in the future as those cars have stickers on them and under the sticker there is the old OBB and DB City Night Line livery.
@3:46 The car numbering seems that strange because it has to take into account all the different branches and recombinations of the trains, where the car number should stay unique in the train over the whole journey. The "main part" of the train usually has the numbers in a x00-x10 range (e.g. 401-406 in this train). For the other cars (that get switched around between trains) they usually use blocks of 100 for the rough geographic direction on one end of the journey and blocks of 10 for the rough direction at the other end. There are sometimes still gaps, because the trains dont have the same number of cars year round. Also this scheme is only applied in one direction (i.e. the cars keep their numbers when they go back to their origin). E.g. here we have cars 276-278 going to Munich. In Villach coaches 271-274 from Zagreb to Munich are added to this train. Later in Salzburg the train is recombined again, adding coaches 260-264 from Budapest to Munich. So, roughly speaking, in this train 2xx is the block going towards the north, 27x the block coming from to the south and 26x the block coming from the east. The gaps will be smaller in summer, where most of those trains have additional cars. The scheme is similar for other connections, but sometimes the blocks of 10 are shifted around a bit as it is really just an "overall geographic direction" and you only can do so much with 10 number blocks of 10 each... E.g. the night train to Innsbruck has car numbers 27x (NJ40491 from Hamburg, the coaches 26x in this train go to Vienna) and 28x (NJ425 from Bruxelles, coaches 25x to Vienna). Those other cars 25x and 26x are recombined into NJ491 to Vienna. And then there's the occasional outlier like e.g. car 700 from Düsseldorf to Innsbruck which only runs on demand... and of course all that shuffling cars around, the varying seasonal demand and some destinations only being available on certain weekdays also messes up the train numbers overall (e.g. NJ425 is called NJ421 between Düsseldorf and Nürnberg, as the part to Bruxelles is only served twice a week). It's a logistical jigsaw puzzle :-)
@3:55, the high number 403 is because each coach number in international trains ins europe is unique. For example if have been traveling today in Coach 263 in EC9 from Cologne to switzerland today. No other train has numbers like this. Small numbers are reserved for domestic trains.

The attendants on NightJet are employed by Newrest Wagons-Lits, the successor company to CIWL, operators of the Orient Express and other famous trains of that type.
I wonder how much the continuation of Nightjet was contributed to by OBB's choice to go for push-pull for their Railjets? It gives the big advantage that the expensive locomotives can be used both on Railjet during the day, and Nightjet at night. Had they gone for units, they would still need a fleet of locos for Nightjet, which would push up the cost of running the services.
It was more like the other way around: ÖBB had ordered too many Taurus locomotives (they expected a quicker development in the cargo sector to the east) so they needed matching trains to put them to use :-) But yes, in the end that turned out to be a good thing as it gave them the flexibilty to run other types of trains at less additional cost.
Really good video. Looks like a nice journey. I’ve only taken the Italian night sleeper train from Northern Italy to Rome before. I’m a new subscriber to your channel from the 🇬🇧. Merci beaucoup pour partager.
After European sleeper service numbers dropped to a sad level, I was glad to read there is increased demand, and new international routes will be opened up in 2020. A great video of a great train journey.
Well, you know, for Venice - Munich, why spend around the same amount of money for a 7 hours tain trip when you can fly in 1 hour? Only high speed trains can compete for distances around 700 km.
@@Alby_Torino I don't think you could do that. Flight is 1 hour, ok, but you have to be at the airport 2 hours prior to departure + the time to get to the airport + the time to pass through security = usually four hours That means eight hours wasted in a day
@@MrOpenGL This kind of short flights between regional airports don't need that. 1 hour is enough prior to departure, and half an hour to reach the airport is enough as well. These are not international flights between huge capitals. For example, if you live in Bergamo, you can take the 8:30 am fligth to Bruxelles, (20 min to reach the airport), have your meetings, and take the 7:30 pm back home flight. In the very same day.
The weird ÖBB coach-numbering helps with their through-coach system: it's easier on the guys who have to sort out coaches at night. NJ 236, for example, splits in Salzburg - if all trains splitting in Salzburg had the same coach numbers (i.e. 1÷8), mistakes could be made with the wrong cars getting to the wrong destination. If only train X has coaches 101÷108, train Y had 201÷208, and train Z had 301÷308, then it would be easier to split and rearrange the coaches as each and every one has a unique number!
Un petit dej, même en couchette ? C'est classe. Il est inclus dans le prix ou c'est un plus ? Hâte de voir une vidéo avec un wagon-lit OBB. Belle vidéo, merci de nous l'avoir montrée.
I have travelled quite a few times to and from Vienna by sleeper trains, they are excellent ! A really good idea would be a secure baggage coach for large(r) suitcases, as there is not really a great deal available in couchettes...especially for 4 or 6 people.
@0:59 oh boy a train to Monaco! I had a similar experience when I was travelling from Lille to Ypres. My plan was to leave Lille, then transfer at a station called Kortrijk, but the display screen didn't display Kortrijk. The staff at the station insisted it was the right train. Well I realized it was because the screen in Lille was French so it was written Courtrai. 🤣
Before we went into Lockdown,OBB started there brussles service,it normally operates on a wednesday at the moment,i was supposed to be going to Austria in august 2020 aswell with Karlsruhe with nightjet from cologne to vienna,as we were going on a saturday i think
Have a try at the sleeping cars when you can. Not that much more expensive depending on availability. The experience is amazing. Nightjet is my #1 choice when I need to go between Switzerland and Germany. Especially on Zh-Berlin / Zh-Vienna routes where they use their double-decker sleeping carriages.
Per Monaco being Italian for Munich in Germany, you're correct, I looked it up, it's "Monaco di Baviera." There have been incidents of travellers getting tickets to Munich when they meant to travel to the principality of Monaco on the Mediterranean coast. Vienna Hauptbahnhof is new, apparently replacing Westbahnhof and Sudbahnhof.
It replaced Südbahnhof and Ostbahnhof (south and east station, which were at that location previously). The main purpose of the new main station (and the new tunnel connecting it to the western railway) was to connect all the main railway lines (west, south and north/east) which previously terminated in Vienna. Westbahnhof is still (and will stay) in operation, but mostly for local and regional services (which are being expanded now that the additional tracks on the western route are finished).
@@stephanweinberger, I'm going to Poland in July 2023. Planning to do Venice ---> Vienna on a night train then Vienna ----> Ostrava ( friend is picking me up in Ostrava). Worried about my connecting train from Vienna -----> Ostrava as there is only 12min margin for transfer. Is the Vienna Hauptbahnhof the arrival station and the transfer station? How complex is this station when looking for your next train? Thanks.
@@gerryaraujo7852 For the most part Wien Hauptbahnhof is quite simple to navigate: 5 parallel platforms with connecting passages on either end (only the change to local/suburban trains might require a longer walk to the underground platforms, but you're not doing that). The only thing that might be confusing is that they sometimes use the same track for two trains, one behind the other - so pay attention to the platform sections (A-C & D-E) when you come up the escalator, as you may have to walk to the other half of the platform to find your train. But everything is clearly labeled and there are plenty of displays that show the departure platforms & sections. The absolute worst case scenario is a 350m walk if you need to change between the outermost platforms (very unlikely); in the best case it's just 10m across the same platform 🙂. So this connection is easily doable. Also the night train from Venice usually arrives on time, as it has lots of buffer. First it pauses for 1:30 hours in Salzburg during the night (so any delay before that will magically disappear while you sleep), then another 12 minute stop in Linz to buffer delays. However, if you notice a delay around breakfast time (i.e. between Linz and St. Pölten) don't hesitate to let the conductor know of your ongoing journey - if it's only a few minutes they will usually phone ahead to Vienna to hold back the connecting train.
Stephan, thank you for this direction. It surely eases my anxiety as I can't afford to miss my connecting train. How I wish there's a few more minutes to spare for the connecting train! For as long as the arrival and the transfer are at the same station, it should be fine. I'm hoping that staff on the train or on the platform are helpful as reading the signages in German will be a challenge for me. Might also be helpful to communicate with the conductor on the night train for assistance.
@@gerryaraujo7852 If things really go badly (which is unlikely, but just in case), also talk to the conductor or go to the ticket counter in Vienna. Ask for an official confirmation of the delay, so that your ticket will stay valid for the next available connection (3 hours later if I'm not mistaken: RJ74 to Breclav, and EC130 from there. There is also an earlier connection using RJ72+RGJ1113, but those take a different route and I'm not sure if this is covered in case of delays - but the staff can surely help you with that). This would of course still be annoying, but at least not more expensive for you. Also: in the extremely unlikely case that the delay exceeds 1 hour you can apply for a 25% refund of the ticket price (50% if it's more than 2 hours) under EU law. A confirmation note also helps with that.
Great video! I advise you, if you can, to travel on an Italian intercity night, from Milan to Syracuse (Sicily). The journey takes almost 22 hours and 1500 km. Furthermore, if you didn't know, the train is transported on the ship between Calabria and Sicily, very fascinating. I suppose it is the train with the longest journey in Europe (between regular trains, in fact, a pair of trains runs every day). This train was the first direct link between the north and south of Italy since the 1950s, facilitating mass emigration from the south to northern Italy in those years; he has also been the subject of many films, poems and songs. It was called by the state railways, "arrow of the South". I am Sicilian, my grandfather and after my mother often took this train and told me really many adventures of those long journeys. If 22 hours seem too many, there are also intercity and intercity night Rome-Syracuse, lasting about 10 hours, which also allow you to see the crossing over the Strait of Messina with the ship. Sorry for my English!
4:57 if you need to see a SWAT agent entering a train toilet...Feedback: You should make the writing smaller and the space between the lines tighter in my opinion, I feel like it's a bit invading to the overall shot of the trains and what not.
Meanwhile here in the United States, you're paying more than this for a coach seat or over $500 for a roomette. I *really* wish Amtrak installed 100% lie-flat seating in their coach class long-distance trains. Would make the journey a lot more bearable and could tremendously boost ridership.

I so wish seeing a Nightjet from Vienna to Belgrade when the new Belgrade-Budapest line is complete. This car zou travelled with is no better than Serbian recentlz refurbished series of couchette coaches which are now used on Belgrade-Bar line except these still can not run faster than 160 kmh
@@ferrarisuper the Railjet trains also go up to 230. In Austria we focus more on high *performance* instead of high speed. The lines are planned for overall efficiency and capacity for all types of trains, so they are usually planned for ~250km/h but initially built for "only" 230 (with the option for a later upgrade to 250). Above that speed the overall capacity suffers (i.e. you need dedicated lines for freight) and the running cost goes up exponentially.
"Top speed of 230km/h" Me: NOPE! :D its top speed is actually 357km/h but 1116 (Taurus) cant drive normally that fast becouse many lines does not allow it and cars neither...
@@horizelux2212 wrong again. the recordspeed of that type Taurus is 357 km/h, but the max speed allowed for the Railjet is 230. the max speed allowed for the Nightjet is 200. it matters not how fast the engine can go, but how fast the coaches are allowed to go

Nice night jet sleeper trains 3 others to share with is not too bad compared to one I saw on a french sleeper car with 6 others 😓😓
Also these trains are better standard
post covid19 pandemic... is it ok if i travel to italy june 2020 onwards?
😍👍
Obb is the Best Train Company.I live in Vienna BTW.
Where do you put your luggage in the couchette?
I've watched several of your videos. My issue like in this especially you show a view shot then put copy on it and cut to quickly. '.m not done reading, keep in mind you're english is so so, Im trying to figure out what you mean, Slow down.. I feel like I'm dizzy on your bathroom tours. One wall 5-10 seconds, next wall 5-10 seconds and when you walk though the trains you go to fast, cutting from view shot to copy. Hope this is helpful.
On wich website you book this train ticket?
Dude I have watched much of ur videos

I so wish seeing a Nightjet from Vienna to Belgrade when the new Belgrade-Budapest line is complete.
This car zou travelled with is no better than Serbian recentlz refurbished series of couchette coaches which are now used on Belgrade-Bar line except these still can not run faster than 160 kmh
At what time its arrive in salzburg
Used to be db coaches on this route
you mentioned that your breakfast was free. it is not. it is included in the reservation, but you definitely paid for it
What a beautiful train, can't wait to see sleeping car
Comfortable at 4:43
0:18 NightJet
Great trip report, what is your favourite overnight train?
Caledonian Express. Easily. Its quite comfy
@@thurairajahrajah1856 Caledonian Sleeper??
@@thurairajahrajah1856 I'd agree. I've only done the mk3s though
@@henryyuill1382 oops sorry
VR double decker coaches
3:55 lol 😂
6:39 actually Austrian High speed lines are not real highspeed lines, the maximum speed is 200km/h
No 230 for the railjet
Benjamin CONSTANT 230km/h for all...
Benjamin CONSTANT 230 only for the TILTING ice. Anyway the european definition of “High speed line” is for the lines with a speed over 250km/h
@@Benjamin0c in austria Vmax is 230km/h
@@ferrarisuper the Railjet trains also go up to 230.
In Austria we focus more on high *performance* instead of high speed. The lines are planned for overall efficiency and capacity for all types of trains, so they are usually planned for ~250km/h but initially built for "only" 230 (with the option for a later upgrade to 250). Above that speed the overall capacity suffers (i.e. you need dedicated lines for freight) and the running cost goes up exponentially.
5:46 bottled of water 💧
3:49 this is Bcmz😉
Merci quel dommage que ton trip report fut si court

Slt es que tu pourrait faire une vidéo du tgv lyria paris Genève merci continue comme ça
Another bottled of water 💧 at 7:10
4:16 temperature control
"Top speed of 230km/h"
Me: NOPE! :D its top speed is actually 357km/h but 1116 (Taurus) cant drive normally that fast becouse many lines does not allow it and cars neither...
He said the maximum speed of the *coaches* are 230. Not the legendary Taurus 😉
@@horizelux2212 wrong again. the recordspeed of that type Taurus is 357 km/h, but the max speed allowed for the Railjet is 230. the max speed allowed for the Nightjet is 200. it matters not how fast the engine can go, but how fast the coaches are allowed to go

Nice reviews. But you put too much text in a short period of time. It's hard to follow.
