really we just need more railways in general, many parts are literally just unable to squeeze in any more trains and yet barely anything new is being built.. In a sensible world we should have started building a high speed network between the capitals 10 years ago.

Si no, quitas la magia al turista de norte de europa. Portugal y España son tan exóticos que solo puedes volar hasta ahí /s

We have a saying in Spain that says that Europe starts in the Pyrenees.

Night trains are amazing. It's basically a mobile hotel room that's a little cramped, but spits you out in another country at 7:00am.

You may be woken by someone yelling something in Romanian at 2:00am when the train stops. And you may be woken for passport control at 3:00am, so try not to be naked when that happens. (Lessons learned)

Some snacks, a bottle of wine, and a good time. Night train!

I wish the Scandinavian trains weren't so sought after. Or rather I wish they'd have more capacity, it's great that people want to use them!

Are the night trains in Ukraine inspired by that Elf on a shelf thing?

From my student years I even know the names of the 2 night trains between Bratislava and Košice - Zemplín (top route) and Poľana (bottom route). Sigh, sometimes I miss those travels
