Travel by night train is booming. ÖBB is the largest provider in Europe. However, small private companies are now also positioning themselves. A brand new line connects Tyrol with Brussels. The "Krone" tested the suitability of the new service. 

It was a very turbulent premiere. On Thursday, the first night train operated by the Dutch-Belgian company "European Sleeper" made a stop in Innsbruck. The night train operator opened its first connection between Brussels and Prague in 2023. Now the Brussels-Venice route (via Eindhoven, Cologne and Munich) is being added as the second line.
