    Europeans don’t love sleeper trains. A very small subset of us do. The rest of us stay away, because being essentially trapped in a 6 berth room with unknown creeps of any gender, is the opposite of safe travel.

    Europeans love travelling by train, but sleepers are used only by a small minority.

        Ok, I guess I should amend it with “… and aren’t prepared to pay 5-10x the flight fare to book a full cabin to avoid randos”.

        Unless you’re travelling in a 4-6 person group, the costs are prohibitive. You need to deal with the creeps.

          Just checked the prices for a round trip a while ago to Vienna from Amsterdam by train (Nightjet, full cabin booked) and by plane with KLM for 2 people. Prices were very similar.
