By 🇩🇪 not 🇫🇷

Agreed for Barcelona

But Milan through 🇨🇭 seems doable

Good question...
RDC ?

This makes the SNCF behaviour here look so painful

“Waaah we can’t run this without a big subsidy, we can’t even sell tickets for our own train. We’ll have to cancel it.”

European Sleeper: we’re a tiny company with knackered carriages. But we’ll TRY

What about the "bistro" car ?
Is it a classic SBB dining car with special offers ?

ÖBB ain't involved in the Amsterdam - Zürich Nightjet so far

And SBB is quite involved in Nightjet unlike SJ

I see Nightjet as an opportunity to create an european wide brand & to cut costs by economies of scale

Do you know the reason why they refused ? Is it because RDC is involved rather than DB, DSB & SJ ?

Commission launches plan to accelerate high-speed rail across Europe The Commission unveiled a comprehensive plan to accelerate the development of high-speed rail across the EU, offering passengers significantly reduced travel times.

LLLOOOOOLLLLLL 😂

Which routes would have you chosen ?

Villach - Salzburg - Linz - České-Budējovic

Or

Villach - Graz - Vienna - Brno

Probably

Or this one : signal.eu.org/osm/#locs=50...

Renfe/Arenaways/Leo Express new day & night Prague - Venice daily services ?

This is a case for @jonworth.eu bullshitmeters

Goedemorgen! Vandaag weer met de trein op pad, een nieuwe trein zelfs: de ICE-L!

IC5 are 25kV50Hz only

I doubt that DSB could order dual-voltage version without a new tender

But yes there's time to order a dedicated fleet for Lolland - Femahrn & Schleswig cross border operations

Misunderstanding
My bad, sorry

I guess it will depend where the technical border will be located

I don't think there's any 🇩🇰🇩🇪 electric regional rolling stock in service

As announced : Talgo 230 (DB ICE-L / DSB EC), maybe ČD Comfortjet, Vectron locomotives

Not really

Non one else provide direct HS Paris - Amsterdam/Cologne services

Hamburg - Zürich is the only route that appears to be bookable as DaNi trainsets but Zürich - Wien Hbf & Zürich - Amsterdam should be too

Laziness & greed again

Few trains & no competitors : fully booked and high prices

From whom perspective ?

Different seats diagram ? Much more first class for Eurostar ?

I guess so

The only official data that I found is for the "bistro" coach... (28 seats)

Nightjets Zürich - Wien/Berlin/Amsterdam should switch to new DaNi trainsets in 2026 but so far the booking systems show actual rolling stock 🤔

I'm flattered 😉

I still hope I'm wrong though...

I would agree if Eurostar had competitors

For now they're still in a monopoly with maximum greed

Never underestimate SNCF strategy

Fewer trains with more capacity that's exactly what they're doing for years

Organized shortage to raise costs and maximize profits

They also say they will use them for 🇬🇧

With 31 Celestias replacing E300/PBA/PBKAs there's 466 more seats

With 30 there's just 274 fewer seats

But the fleet productivity could also be improved

And there's that option for 20 more trains

"So you need 16 Avelia Horizons to replace the 373s, and 26 to replace the PBAs and PBKAs. So 42 Avelia Horizon trains for a complete replacement of the whole of the old fleet."

I don't get it : based on capacity ES needs 12 Horizons to replace 373s & 19 to replace PBAs + PBKAs

So 31 in total 🤔

I realized today that's there's already a few streches in BFC that could fit in a taktfahrplan with knots
