European Sleeper Launches Berlin-Paris Night Train Service, Filling Gap Left by Deutsche Bahn

A new night train service between Berlin and Paris has been launched by European Sleeper, a Dutch-Belgian cooperative railway company. The service operates three times weekly, restoring a previously popular connection that Deutsche Bahn no longer provides. European Sleeper aims to systematically expand continental night train networks, with existing routes between Prague and Brussels and plans to add destinations like Barcelona and Milan. This development occurs amid ongoing challenges for Deutsche Bahn, which continues to face funding shortages for network modernization despite new investments.
