Great review as usual, I enjoyed the train ride. I doubt I would ever spend the money for a night train. IMO prices are too expensive for a sleeper if one wants a cabin for him or herself. Some say one saves the cost of an overnight hotel. Most are coming to Europe is to see the sights and that means daylight travel. Some say one saves the cost of an overnight hotel. I have always found reasonable priced hotels, with comfortable beds usually for less than the overnight sleeper. Thanks again for taking me along.

@PeteBrandy

Hauptbahnhof replaced Südbahnhof (south station), allowing that line to become a through station as the previous Süd, nearby, had lines from the East and West terminating at right-angles to each other. At this point, I think, Westbahnhof was a main station too, with mainline services split between Süd & West. My first visit to Vienna was end of 2013. I stayed there for a few nights to have a look round then went to catch the train to Graz to visit some friends. I asked at the hotel reception which station I needed for Graz, she informed me that it was Meidling, however, I had seen signs for Hauptbahnhof, so thought I knew better. I walked the 2 miles / 3.3 kms to Hauptbahnhof with my heavy luggage only to find a building site ! The S-Bahn was still operating though, so I caught that to Meidling then onto Graz.

Great review! I am happy that RegioJet will start providing service on this route, the current pricing and schedule of this EN connection is really not suitable for our times, 145 euros and 11 hours journey? Who is this addressed to and convenient for? Moreover, the schedule is unconvenient too because it does not allow to catch further morning connections coming from Warsaw and heading to Venice for example, the night train arrives in Wien too late to catch the morning Eurocity from Wien to Venice...and also arriving in Warsaw after 9am is too late for a business city, the traing should get to the destination at 8am the latest...overall, at this time, both flying or driving a car is way more convenient overall..and it's too bad!

Nice points but everybody has their own needs and those needs depends on particular scenarios. For ex. if you have large and heavy luggage, a train might be better suited for you. An overweight charges might bring costs in favour for a train. Airports are located on outskirts of cities while a train brings you to the centre. If you are travelling by plane and need to leave at night or late in the evening, you arrive in the middle of the night. Basically your night is ruined. While taking a sleeper train you can still have a decent rest. cheers

The problem with the ride quality on the train isn't in the Czech section, from Břeclav to Ostrava there is a reconstructed line with a speed of 160 km/h. The described problem is in the cross-border section from Bohumín towards Katowice, there are drops of the track caused by mining activities, it also happened to me several times that I almost got thrown out of my bed multiple times.

i just rode last night from warsaw to vienna single sleeper cabin, mattress was hard as a rock terrible experience

Your first video in the sleeping car of a well-known night train to Warsaw - no worries, it's great, just the way we're used to seeing from your production, but if we compare this trip of yours with the adventure our friend Thibault had, we can say that it was almost boring and with a delay of only 20 minutes. The latter is still a joke, but the mentioned event, as you could see for yourself, is really true. Famous July 17, exactly one day after the tornado struck; can you imagine the array of feelings Thibault had when he saw in Warsaw that the train had no sleeping car. He was then told that there would be some, but only from Katowice, and then there was one longer stop on the open track, the same hard bed and a final delay of 3.5 hours. It was interesting for me to notice that you two, in two opposite directions, presented different data on the length of the road, which may have differed in those two routes, given the unusual circumstances from July: he stated 655km, and you 747km. Of course it doesn't matter, it's just cute, because otherwise it would be said that the number of km is the same. It is also interesting that the price of travel in the middle of the high season, in the summer, during July was lower than the autumn price: € 139 vs € 144.9. And after a little joke, I claim that it is good to have a night train that directly connects Warsaw with Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Such a formula cannot be simple, but since it travels mostly at night and in sleeping cars, a great deal has really been done as long as this complex train is running.

Thanks so much! I saw the video from Thibault and I must say that he had a really bad luck that day. But that can unfortunately happen. I was similarly lucky with trains to Slovakia. I'm not sure if the Thibault train had a different route, but my data is based directly on the ÖBB application and for verification I also compared with the Czech Railways application, where the data differed by only 1 km. As for the price, I understand that his ticket was cheaper because I only bought my ticket a week before departure (I was originally supposed to travel to Berlin with the ÖBB Nightjet portion).

Yes, the sleeper compartment looked very modern and clean, but had no real character I felt. Also I didn't see any USB ports. But a great video review, non-the-less. Thankyou.

Thanks so much! I think these cars are in a similar condition as they were made in 2005. USB ports are usually supplemented after some complete upgrade. In total, I missed more the carpet on the floor in these cars, which are usual, for example, from in ČD sleeping cars :-)

Great video, isn't there a day train from Vienna to Warsaw?

If someone had a Eurail Pass, would they only have to pay the 75.00 for the room? Thanks, great video as always

I think the Eurail Pass will cover the price of the ticket equal to the price of the 2nd class (seat) and you need to pay the difference.

so why is the shower forbidden?? did they tell any reasons??

Yes, I saw in your video :-D

Small nitpick: Did the ticket you bought actually say "2nd class" anywhere? As far as I know, Nightjet doesn't use the 1st/2nd class terminology at all, which is good, as there are so many different "classes" of accomodation that trying to force that into some overall 1st vs 2nd class is misleading. And even if this sleeping car service isn't branded Nightjet (but "Nightjet Partner"), I assume they use the same ticketing conventions? (PKP domestic sleeping cars might be different.)

According to some traditional (pre-Nightjet) conventions, booking a sleeper compartment for solo occupancy ("single") required a 1st class ticket. Yes, the exact same compartment required a first-class ticket (for the transportation) in order for you to be able to buy a reservation for it with single occupancy. (In those days no compartments had en-suite shower and toilet.) So according to such conventions, this would have been a 1st class compartment... In those days, if you didn't book single occupancy but nobody else booked a berth in the same compartment, you got "1st class" without extra charge, with a 2nd class ticket...

Although the Nightjet partner (bought through ÖBB) was mentioned on the ticket, the Warsaw portion with PKP coaches was officially EuroNight train. Now I have checked my ticket and I have written here: "Klasse: 2". Usually is used for this type of sleeping cars distinction of travel classes Standard and Deluxe (compartment with private bathroom). Otherwise in the reservation system the selection was divided into Compartment with 1, 2 or 3-bed and Compartment deluxe with 1 or 2-bed. In the descripton of this video, I used the class designation for the 1st and 2nd class according to the WLAB10mnouz cars specification.

For domestic night trains in Poland you get sort of two-part ticket. The first part is a base 2nd class ticket, with price identical to a 2nd class seat on the same route based on the distance covered and subject to various promotions and discounts, and "additional/reservation ticket" which is a flat fare depending on a type of compartment you chose (6 bed couchette, 4/3 bed couchette, 3 bed sleeper, 2 bed sleeper, solo sleeper. Note that 3 bed couchettes are actually older "downgraded" sleeper cars, and today PKP IC offers bedsheets on couchettes, so the only difference between 3 bed sleeper and 3 bed couchette is that couchettes are not gender-separated, there is no complimentary breakfest and the sink is probably not working. And price). I don't think ensuite compartments are available on domestic trains. Also this creates a paradox, where on longest train journeys 1st class seats (yes, they can have those) may cost as much as a couchette. But Chopin is weird and uses non-standard pricing.

Oh my god, 143 Euro for one people …so expansive. Last time I got a plan from Brno to Warsaw, I took IC to Ceska Trebova and then change to EN443 Warsaw portion.. only cost me 142 Euro but for 3 adults and en-suite bathroom … haha One more thing I am wondering why the terminal is Warsaw Gdansk but not via Warsaw Central?

Nope, 69,90 EUR for one person.. but I paid surcharge because I wanted to have all compartment for myself.. Btw. I also tried EN443 Warsaw portion a month ago :-) The Warszawa Gdańska stop is only temporary, as there is limited traffic at the Warszawa Centralna station due to repairs and reconstructions of the Warsaw Railway Junction.

Warszawa Gdańska is very close to the city center and almost next to the Old Town, and there is also an underground station right next to the train station. In my opinion, it is even better to come here than to the Warszawa Centralna railway station.
