NIGHT TRAIN ALERT: New Euronight Service - Overnight Adventure from Hamburg to Stockholm! 🚆

[@drdewott9154]

This looks great. I'm just annoyed about one thing. When this was proposed and tendered, the plan was for there to be not just one, but two different night train services. One from Stockholm to Hamburg, but also another one from Malmö to Brussels! But during the bidding process, SJ was the only operator to place a bid on the Hamburg train, while the Brussels trains received zero bids, because the regulations in Germany were too problematic to work with, due to them illegalising long distance subsidised trains, and requiring that any train in Germany above a certain distance operate on a commercial basis. And frankly as a Copenhagener I'm still mad that we won't have a night train to Brussels, we really need a convenient link to the Benelux, whether it be Amsterdam, Brussels, or any other city in that part of Europe.

That sux, maybe the car mafia made them make that rule.

[@sanstoop]

as a belgian i totally agree! we were really looking forward to this train. we love the scandinavian countries and it sucks not to have a good train connection to get there. i read that the reason for not getting any bids was that belgium and germany do not subsidies these trains, where denmark and sweden (who see these trains as a public service, which they clearly are) do subsidies them. since the train from hamburg to stockholm only has a small part in germany (so only a little part would not be subsidised) it was still workable to do this. the train from brussels to malmõ would have a too long part that would not be subsidised, making it almost impossible to be profitable. besides that, at the time of the biddings, we were without government in belgium ... and by the time we finally had a government it was to late for them to still do something about this (which was kind of the plan). still hoping for the future though ...

[@drdewott9154]

@@sanstoop Yeah. I know it's not as direct for Belgians, but one route which could be served by private operators with relative ease is Copenhagen to Amsterdam. The air route between the 2 is already one of the busiest in Europe, and such a train would spend much less time in germany. European sleeper, as well as a new startup named turquoise trains both have the route as a potential possibility down the line, but for them, the biggest issue is actually finding a partner in Denmark. Currently if you want to run private trains through Denmark, you pretty much only have 1 option and that's hectorrail, who ever since coming under new management, have been a lot less cooperative with new startup rail operators. So Denmark really needs more companies with electric locomotives ready for use in Denmark, and who are willing and able to lease them out to private train operators.

Can you explain the problem, as you see it? What is the problem with requiring trains to run on a commercial basis? Does OBB run night trains between these countries?

This gives me hope that someday in the not too distant future I'll be able to travel from southern Sweden to Frankfurt via night train. The distance is perfect for it (5 hours from where I live to Hamburg, 4 hours from Hamburg to Frankfurt) but all night trains in the area tend to have Hamburg as the terminus (or continue towards Berlin).

I was on that route back in the 1980s many times. Between my homes in Stockholms and Zürich (with a train change in Altona). This was before the bridges, so it was a ferry between Germany and Denmark and Denmark to Sweden. Hard to sleep through. Why train then on such a long trip? Well, a first-class train was the price of a discounted economy flight, and the train got me hours of work time while the flight did not.

[@uncinarynin]

Simply Railway and the man in seat 61, some of the finest railway sources travelling together! By the way, these same couchette cars (now over 50 years old) were already used (before rebuilding) in the EC-night Alfred Nobel Hamburg to Oslo and Stockholm back in the 1980s/90s, using two ferries. I'd have to dig out old timetables to compare how the travel times have changed, if at all. MUn cars would be great as they are actually some of the best in terms of passenger comfort (though sadly only 4 prototypes were built by initiative of CIWL, going to NS, ÖBB and then RDC).

[@petrsovicka]

Another frontier reached in the exploration of Railscience! Perfect! However, this EuroNight as a very brief spark of hope won't survive the incoming energy crisis in my opinion. We are coming back into the dark ages folks! But perhaps I'm just totally wrong.

Amazing video, and amazing to finally see year-round daily overnight trains to continental Europe again! It might be subsidised by the Swedish state, but we really need a comfortable alternative to flying so bad in times of climate change. I also really hope the Danish railway administration approves the sleepers and coaches as soon as possible, so this awesome train can live up to its full potential

[@drdewott9154]

Same. The Danish state is also quite supportive, subsidising it too, despite it not really doing much for them. When they were tendering it, there was also another proposed sleeper train between Malmö/Copenhagen and Brussels, but due to Germany's problematic rules about long distance rail, meant no operators bid for that train. Heck for the Stockholm to Hamburg train, SJ was the only bidder, and that was just because the German bit between Denmark and Hamburg was just small enough to manage, while the other train would've had a route going all the way down to Cologne and from there towards the Belgian border, during all of which they'd have to deal with restrictive german regulations.

Optima uses older 27,5 m long Bcmh cars without air conditioning and with three bigger compartments in the middle, while Snälltåget and SJ/RDC use modernized 26,4 m long Bvcmbz cars with AC and disabled compartment. RDC is also the operator of the AutoReiseZug to Lörrach, and you can see exactly the MUn sleeping car - which was meant to be on SJ Euronight, but declined by the Danes - as the last passenger car in consist.
