    I hope this goes forward. I used to use sleepers a lot, but they were slowly deprecated. The idea of spending a day or more getting to the destination, is not very attractive to me. High speed rail, for under 4h trips is pretty much my limit for daytime travel by train.

    Sleepers on the other hand! They are like teleporting! You go in, blackout, and suddenly you are there! Magic!

      Sleeper trains are seriously underrated for thier efficiency - you basically trade unconscious hours for distance traveled while saving on a hotel night, and I’ve always found the gentle rocking motion makes for better sleep than most hotels anyways!
