Amazing trip…
No curtains in the compartment ? Looks very bare and stark.
Thanks for the strontium about the new night train :). A small note: This wasn’t the first direct train between Berlin and Rotterdam 😉
They don't use the high speed line as it probably cost them more then the regular line. And idk. if all the waggons are fitted with the nesessay equipment (NBÜ)
Great views and nice ride.
Bruxelles North, Europe's most beautyful… You're joking, aren't you?
Great working! Waiting for next videos
@ European Sleeper Train Berlin – Amsterdam – Brussels
how lovely; it reminds me of my youth (alsmost 78), need a private bathroom and then I retake the sleeper towards Praha! Time and speed are no issue, nor the costs
Was it a comfortable sleep – I've taken a few nightjets with OBB and barely slept due to the noise and excessive movement
Thanks for the great video. Looked like a great experience ! Btw, saw you on the video of Brix the Penguin. 😀
Bedankt voor de mooie reportage
Two stainless steel sleeping cars resemble Budd-built cars. I expected them to have superior ride quality but I was wrong.
What are technical stops?
Sounds like your sleeping car has a flat tire at 21:57.
It was daylight before the sun came up?
What is the tipping situation on European sleeper trains? Whom and how much?
I hung out at Amsterdam Central in 2008, but didn't see all the train sheds until now. Thanks.
Rotterdam City Tunnel is in Antwerp?
This is awesome. I'm definitely going to do this soon.
I don't recommend very comfortable, no water, no soap
It is written that this is the first ever direct train between Berlin and Rotterdam. This is true but only if we don't go back to the '80s, when a direct train connected Berlin and Hoek van Holland (via Rotterdam), with direct cars from Warszawa and Moskwa.
Thanks again for a nice video. I hope this new railcompany will succeed!
