Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why sleeper trains are being revived across Europe
If you fly from Stockholm, Sweden to Hamburg, Germany, it takes only an hour and a half but creates 250kg of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger. If you take a sleeper train, it takes about 12 hours but leaves only 26kg of CO2 emissions. Launched September last year, the daily Stockholm - Hamburg night train service departs Stockholm at 17:34, stopping at several locations along the southern main line before continuing via Copenhagen and Odense, arriving at Hamburg at 6:30, which provides connections to other parts of northern and central Europe. The return service departs Hamburg at 21:55 and arrives in Stockholm at 9:55, a convenient time to start a new day. Moreover, you don’t have to go to the airport where everybody hates everyone and everything is jammed. You can also save a hotel room and transportation to the city center if you leave and arrive at the central station. Indeed, as more people prefer climate-friendly traveling, more sleeper train services are being resumed or launched across Europe where train service had been common since the Industrial Revolution until recently. Indeed, while sleeper train journeys are for fun, flying on a low-cost carrier is endurance. Which would you like to start your holiday, at the time you board the train or when you get off the plane?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about what sleeper train travel is like.
