DEUTSCHE BAHN: FIRST NIGHTJET CONNECTS THE METROPOLISES OF BERLIN, BRUSSELS AND PARIS

Travel overnight to a European metropolis in a relaxed manner and save on hotel accommodation: the night train alliance of DB, ÖBB, NMBS/SNCB and SNCF is offering a night train connection from Berlin to Brussels and Paris.

The Nightjet (NJ) operates three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). The train from Paris/Brussels runs back to Berlin on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The first NJ was seen off on its journey this evening in Berlin by the transport ministers of Germany, Belgium, France and Austria as well as the four CEOs of the participating railways.

The new offer is the latest milestone in a successful partnership between European railways, which set itself the goal of environmentally friendly night train connections at the end of 2020.

By consistently expanding night trains, the alliance is making an important contribution to achieving the EU's climate goals agreed in the Green Deal.
