European Sleeper

European Sleeper is a Dutch cooperative railway company that is making headlines for relaunching the Paris-Berlin night train route. This comes after the previous service, operated in part by SNCF Voyageurs, was discontinued. The new route, operated by European Sleeper, began service in March 2026, with trains running three times a week in each direction. The inaugural journey from Paris to Berlin departed on Thursday evening and arrived in Berlin on Friday morning. The company's efforts are part of a broader movement advocating for increased night train services across Europe, with activists staging demonstrations in multiple European capitals to demand more such routes. This highlights the growing interest in sustainable travel options and the revival of night trains as a viable alternative to air travel.
