The night trains are great. It's quite comfortable, you get there in the morning allowing for a full day (after dropping off your bags at the hotel) of work/tourism, and I especially hope Nightjet and other night train companies converts all of their trains to the modern mini cabins[0].

They're incredible.

Comfortable and comfortable. It's certainly much better than spending a night on a seat. But most people won't sleep well. It's noisy and either too hot or too cold. The bed is hard, narrow and often too short for tall people.

I have spent many nights on trains in various countries, seats, floor and berth. I will prefer a couchette or sleeper if the price is somewhat reasonable. But I won't live in the expectation to get something comfortable. Just less uncomfortable.

Night ferrys and night trains are my favourite way of travelling when on vacation.

Doesn't work for all of us. I can peacefully fall asleep from the noise of a CFM on an Airbus. On a train, rickety being chucked around all the time and always too hot, nope.

I can do 10h on a plane fine. 3h on a train does me in every time.

I can't sleep in a seat, which rules out aircraft for any reasonable carbon or dollar price.

At least on trains I have a chance. Googling how the climate controlled worked before my previous trip helped, but that followed a hot journey.
