    Is there way of making the Caledonian Sleeper more profitable?

    bold idea but if they could recofigure the insides as well as Nightjet style pods could they rebuild some sleepers into a fashion similar to the original style of CIWL Type-P's? (staggered upper and lower berths to allow to be their own cabin)

    Nightjet, which stock?

    yea only 2 set route i can think of that isnt Paris/Belgium bound is Graz-Berlin so if they are wanting a final route before the second batch my money would be on that batch 2 is 20 sets so could be La Spezia- Wien/Munich: 4 sets Amsterdam - Wien/Innsbruck: 4 Sets Zurich - Wien/Graz: 4 sets...

    UK rolling stock in 2044

    Eurostar "may cap services" EES data congestion?
