We

travellers in Europe,

establish that:

• travel per night train becomes a luxury product

• Europe only focuses on the development of a European high speed rail network

• no big investments in infrastructure are necessary to run regular night trains

• travel per regular night train with many wagons is per definition more energy efficient then a high speed train

• the rail companies are challenged by competitors like state airline companies were confronted with price fighters

• there are many deserted railway yards in industrial zones near major cities where platforms can exploited, like deserted military airports are used by price fighters in aviation

• the capacity of the rail network can be maximised by slow night trains mixed with the current cargo traffic and maintenance.

• travel by night train is currently not as easy as:

"book online, board in the evening after supper before midnight in full hotel room on rail and get off in the morning in the city of your destination (or sleep a bit longer in your room). "

and request

to open up the European rail network for commercial price fighters with international night trains and possibly commission a European tender for the start up phase for such initiatives (for example for investments in equipment that meets the European safety regulations).
