Hey I am curious if anyone had chance to experience this historic route? If yes how was it?

Bonjour,

J'ai récemment expérimenté le train de nuit SNCF en privatisant un compartiment couchettes pour 2.
Or, si le confort était correct, nous aurions apprécié d'avoir un lit double, ou une sorte de lit double, pour mieux nous endormir.
La question que je me pose est donc : comment nous créer un tel lit double dans un compartiment couchettes privatisé ? Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà fait ça ?

J'entrevois trois options, en ayant au préalable rabattu les deux couchettes intermédiaires – pour dégager de la place en hauteur – et en ayant disposé nos bagages au sol entre les deux couchettes inférieures :

• Gonfler un matelas pneumatique deux places qui serait posé à cheval les deux couchettes inférieures ;
• Gonfler un matelas pneumatique une place (étroite) qui viendrait se caler pile entre les deux couchettes inférieures ;
• Dérouler un matelas semi-rigide (je vois ça, par exemple : https://www.amazon.fr/Thermarest-Lite-R%C3%A9gulier-Ch%C3%AAne-Anthracite/dp/B09SBLK46T) entre les deux couchettes inférieures.

Dans tous les cas, le nerf de la guerre va être les dimensions contraintes dans cet espace…
Et, lors de mon voyage, je n'avais pas pensé à prendre mon mètre ruban pour dresser un plan précis et en 3D du compartiment 😅.
Il y a notamment une tablette et une poubelle, sous la fenêtre, qui risquent de gêner l'installation mais peut-être (surement ?) que la poubelle est amovible et la tablette suffisamment haute ?
L'échelle amovible pourrait, elle, se ranger sur une couchette supérieure ou au sol, pour ne pas gêner voire soutenir le matelas.
Enfin, quelles sont les dimensions exactes des couchettes en longueur (au vu de ma taille je dirais 1 m 80) et l'écartement entre les deux couchettes inférieures (une cinquantaine de centimètres, à priori) ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide avant que j'aie une prochaine opportunité de voyager ainsi !

I am doing some research on how we could improve getting food and especially dinner onboard night trains. Most night trains are killing their restaurant carriage because it's too expensive to have one but i personally greatly miss having the option to buy and eat great meals onboard. I'm trying to find a solution that works both for passengers and operators. To gather ideas and get feedback I created this typeform - https://form.typeform.com/to/c53LYlHh - What's your opinion?

Would prefer to sell both tickets together.

This is the top of the line comfort plus 3 person compartment with guaranteed compartment for only 2 people; breakfast and water basin included.

I need to sell these two tickets, as they are not refundable, I payed 50 euros for each ticket, but I am willing to sell them for a lot less.

I need to sell there two tickets because I can't go anymore, I payed 50 euros each, but I am willing to sell them for a lot less, as they are not refundable.

I'm booked to travel Brussels to Vienna, then later Vienna to Venice, and finally Innsbruck to Amsterdam to return home (via Eurostar)

What do people think about this NightJet as I've never taken the route before? Does it tend to be late or can we expect it to be within 1-2 hours of the stated time of arrival? I know it's not the new generation sleepers which we've been taking before -- is it comfortable in a 4 bed couchette?

I've previously traveled on NJ 420 with two adjacent Sleeper cabins.

I'm now looking at the NJ 294, and I'm interested in learning about the Couchette carriage as a more affordable option. My party has 4 adults (2 couples).

I see this offering of a "Private compartment" and the explanatory text says that a "Comfort private compartment in a couchette coach for up to 4 passengers" exists. This implies to me that 1 compartment = 4 passengers, which aligns with this photo in the carousel:

But then the webpage also says "max. 3 adults per compartment" in the card heading. So does that mean "compartment" refers to the bunk, not the room?

When I select a Flex level on the form, I'm prompted to choose 2, 3, or 4 compartments. It would really help me to understand whether "compartment" means bunk or room. Thank you!

And is there a risk of it being cancelled?
