Now, and after decades of suspension amid the prosperity of low-cost airlines, Europe s largest rail companies have decided to revive the TEE network, reported the German News Agency. The new night rails will link cities like Barcelona, Rome, and Warsaw. The main national train operators in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France have announced plans to launch new trans-European rails as of 2021.

Europe expands night train network as rail becomes more popular

Private operator Regiojet already runs night trains from Prague to Croatia and Slovakia. But competing with state railroads isn t easy: Regiojet would therefore like to see joint ticket sales and state subsidies for both private and public railway companies. Our dream is to be able to compete on a fair open level with the state or with other companies because there should be no difference between a state operator and a private operator, said Aleš Ondrůj, a spokesperson for Regiojet. Regiojet, together with other private railroads, has sent an open letter to politicians, asking for a fair competition. This, they say, is the only way to implement the Green Deal in European passenger transport.
