It hasn’t been an easy time to be a rail enthusiast, but the resurgence of the sleeper train on the continent is offering British travellers a tantalising prospect for 2023.at St Pancras on a Friday afternoon and waking up in Berlin the following morning, breakfast included.
“We thought that would be good timing to start the weekend”, said Chris Engelsman, the co-founder of the European Sleeper service.The announcement of the service has been hailed as a triumph by rail aficionados, who may have been suffering something of an existential crisis during the recent strikes and service troubles in Britain.
The first 10-carriage sleeper from Berlin to Brussels will depart on 25 May, with the Brussels to Berlin service scheduled for the following evening at 19.22. Mark Smith, who writes the popular blog, The Man in Seat 61, said: “High-speed trains are a great way to travel, but for longer distances such as Brussels or Amsterdam to Berlin a six- or seven-hour journey takes half the day. A sleeper allows you to leave after a full day’s work or sightseeing, sleep in your own bed, and be in Berlin in time for breakfast.”
