Just a few years ago, it looked as though European sleeper trains were on their way to becoming a thing of the past as services were continually cut back.
Midnight Trains hopes to reinvent the overnight train experience completely by launching a"hotel on rails" that offers a greener alternative to flying as well as a more comfortable alternative to the basic night train services long associated with Europe. "When traveling from Paris to most major European cities, they don't have this alternative. Furthermore, transport operators have been focused on reducing prices for the last two decades, totally forgetting the customer experience and associated services.He also notes that the"speed" of catching a flight is an"illusion," as"a flight of one hour is actually four hours from door to door.
"Air travel produces high carbon emissions. With Midnight Trains we want to create a more comfortable, convenient, seamless and sustainable alternative," adds Payet.Its first route is expected to launch in 2024, while the network plans to become fully operational by 2030, with routes from Paris to Spain, Portugal, Italy and Scotland.
