Why we need a new golden age of European rail

This is a lovely read on rail travel with special reference to the iron ways of Deutsche Bahn, German Rail.

The article appeared in the Guardian on Wednesday.

The author seems not to be aware of how both Austrian Rail ÖBB and German Rail DB are in the process of reintroducing sleeper trains. And isn’t there a night sleeper, the Caledonian Sleep, from London to Scotland?

It’s worth noting that most European rail companies are wholly owned and operated State enterprises.
