Sweden Wants to Revive Europe’s Overnight Trains

The Swedish government announced Sunday that it will fund the creation of overnight train services from Sweden to the European mainland. It remains to be seen whether SJ will change its mind to win the night train contract, or whether the government will choose another carrier—such as, for example, Snälltåget, a company that currently runs Sweden’s only other international night services, from Malmö to Berlin and (again) Narvik. The most likely candidates for an overnight service to Sweden would be major Northern European cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt and Amsterdam, although other cities somewhat further afield, such as, Brussels and even Prague might be possible options too.
