European Sleeper experience

[GW43125]

P.s @GW43125 do you know if this is a one off or if it will be a regular occurrence thought the summer?

27, 29, 30 June & 2nd July are the dates I've been given by email.

Unfortunately ended up abandoning Euro sleeper in favour of the NJ direct to Vienna as it looks like there are no trains across the Dresden-Prague border at all on those dates.

29 June to 04 July is the bus period Dresden-Usti nad Labem.
Early and late RJ257 and EC179 still run in that period but I would expect them to be packed.

Thanks for confirming, would've been nice to have been told and save myself the small fortune I've just coughed up to Eurostar and ÖBB!

Big problem is that the Dresden route is the only route across the German-Czech border with two tracks or wires. The Cheb route is your main alternative.

I think I wrote earlier not to rebook yourself, since European Sleeper would have been obliged to get you to your booked destination at no additional costs.

I appreciate that, had Prague been my final destination and/or there had been other trains I'd have agreed with you, unfortunately the timings wouldn't have worked out.
