Chris's favourite night train is the Trenhotel between Barcelona and Galicia in Spain. Very comfortable and modern Talgo carriages, a bistro for a snack and a drink, beautiful landscapes, plenty of time in the morning and evening to look out the window. /6

Elmer's favourite night train is the Caledonian Sleeper from London to Scotland. Beautiful new rolling stock, the club car for a drink in the evening and breakfast in the morning. The view of the highlands as you wake up is amazing. /5
A dream will come true for both of us, when our first sleeper train departs from Amsterdam Centraal April next year. However, we don’t approach this project just as a hobby, as we are convinced that a profitable operation of night trains is possible. /2
