Passengers moving from air to rail across Europe

This is a great read.

The return of sleeper cars across the European rail network is a positive return to the past.

With the introduction of high speed trains and cheap airfares, night sleepers lost their appeal. 

Concern for the environment was the spur that led Austrian Rail ÖBB to reintroduce the night sleeper.

And now with Covid-19 larger numbers of people are moving from air to rail.

Long live the railway.

And maybe the next move will be that customers will become passengers again?
