-My journey on the ÖBB Nightjet NJ 40490 from Regensburg to Vienna was a real experience. After boarding, I quickly settled in and discovered the compartment for myself: it was simple, but clean and offered enough space to retreat and relax. I found it particularly pleasant to be able to stretch out in the couchette carriage and watch the passing scenery through the window as the train travelled through the night.
The atmosphere in the train was quiet, many passengers lay down straight away, others were still reading or talking quietly. The lights in the compartment could be dimmed so that you could fall asleep in a relaxed mood. It was sometimes a little livelier in the corridor, but overall the journey was pleasantly quiet.
Even though the comfort in the couchette carriage is not comparable to a hotel room, I slept surprisingly well and was woken gently in the morning. The gentle movement of the train actually made it easier to fall asleep. After waking up, there was still time for a look at the dawn before the train arrived in Vienna on time.
Advantages
The seats were very comfortableDisadvantages
No weaknessIt was a very relaxed and pleasant journey, we had no problems during the trip. I felt very comfortable as the seats were very comfortable and the train was very clean. The service was also really friendly. You could book on the spot as well as online. The train also arrived on time, as agreed. I was also really satisfied with the price-performance ratio.

Sylt Shuttle Plus
About
Sylt Shuttle Plus was a unique passenger train service operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) that connected Niebüll and Westerland on the island of Sylt, Germany. Unlike the primary Sylt Shuttle, which transports vehicles, the "Plus" service was designed for passengers without cars. It involved coupling a Class 628 diesel multiple unit to the rear of the car shuttle train. Introduced in 2015, the Sylt Shuttle Plus gained notoriety for its often-empty carriages and longer travel times compared to regional trains, leading to its nickname "ghost train." The service was discontinued in December 2024.

ÖBB | Regionalzug
About
ÖBB Regionalzug (R) is a train category of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) that replaced the Personenzug in Austria in 1982. Regionalzug services primarily operate in various Austrian states like Styria, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, and Vorarlberg, and on specific sections of other lines. These trains serve slightly longer connections that are too far from urban centers for S-Bahn operations. In Vienna, regional trains from the surrounding areas are integrated into the inner-city transport network. ÖBB Regionalzug services exclusively offer second class. The fleet includes modern trains such as the ÖBB Cityjet, Talent, and Desiro, as well as bi-level push-pull trains and Cityshuttle push-pull trains.
