Reborn night train links Berlin and Paris

A new sleeper service between Berlin and Paris will set off from the German capital on Monday evening after a decade-long hiatus, as night trains gain in popularity as an alternative to short-haul flights.

The connection will be operated by French and German national train operators SNCF and Deutsche Bahn, while the rolling stock will be provided by Austrian train company OeBB, whose “Nightjet” trains already criss-cross central Europe.
