Advantages
Comfortable seatsSmooth rideFree power sockets.Disadvantages
Change oftenI was able to book tickets for seat 5 in carriage 4 online very easily! As I travelled 10 hours by train, I had to change trains twice. Once at Munich Central Station and another time in Mannheim. The journey was very pleasant and the staff very friendly! The train was very clean inside and the toilets were also very hygienic. The free power sockets also worked wonderfully! I arrived in Paris on time, although I had to change trains a lot. As always, the price-performance ratio is very good!
Advantages
Nice serviceGood priceDisadvantages
Long journeyI travelled to Paris on the TGV9576. As it is also very far away, the journey was correspondingly long, but longer than I had expected. As it was an Austrian train, I would have expected my journey to start on time, but it started almost an hour later than planned. At least the service was very nice and the train was also hygienically on a good level. The price was very good for the long journey
Advantages
Quiet and pleasant journeyDisadvantages
Staff partly unfriendlyExpensiveI travelled from Vienna Central Station to Paris Est on 24/07/2024. The journey started at 8:28 and ended at 18:16. First I travelled with the RJX262 to Munich, then with the ICE1096 to Stuttgart and then with the ICE9572 to Paris. The journey was pleasant and quiet, the trains were clean and well equipped. We also had hardly any delays. Unfortunately, the staff were sometimes unfriendly as it took me a little longer to find my PDF ticket on my smartphone and I also found the price I had to pay very expensive for such a journey.
Advantages
Drives through the nightQuiet on the trainYou can sleepNice staffDisadvantages
Tickets expensiveUnfortunately you have to change onceMy review of the train journey from Vienna to Paris:
The overnight journey was a pleasant experience, especially the sleeping facilities made the journey very comfortable. It was pleasantly quiet on the train, so it was easy to get some rest. One small disadvantage was the slightly higher price, and you have to change trains once, which makes the journey a little inconvenient. Nevertheless, it was a good and relaxed way to travel overall, which is why I give it 4 stars.
Advantages
Cost-effectiveQuietDisadvantages
Takes a very long timeUncomfortableThe train from Vienna to Paris was a rather neutral experience. The train journey is really very cheap and it is also very quiet on the train and there are also sleeping compartments. However, the journey is extremely long and the seats and sleeping facilities are unfortunately very uncomfortable. I only had to change trains as I was travelling on a night train. The journey took around 15 hours.
Advantages
ComfortableFriendly staffPunctualGood breakfastDirect connectionDisadvantages
-Travelling on the Nightjet from Vienna to Paris is an absolute highlight. Train number NJ 40467 departs from Vienna Central Station at 19:23 and arrives at Gare de l'Est in Paris at 09:47 after around 14 hours.
The sleeping car offers a high level of comfort and the friendly on-board staff ensure that you feel completely at ease. It is particularly pleasant that breakfast is served directly in the compartment while you watch the picturesque Champagne countryside pass by.
The connection is known for its punctuality, which makes the whole journey even more relaxing. Overall, I can recommend this train journey to anyone looking for a comfortable and sustainable alternative to flying.
Advantages
Friendly staffCleanliness and hygieneComfortable seats and sufficient equipmentno changePleasant volumeDisadvantages
Delay of 10 minutesThe train from Vienna to Paris was normally full. I liked the fact that the train was very long. I also had my own compartment, which made it very relaxing in terms of the noise level. The train was very clean and the toilets looked hygienic. Unfortunately, the train was 10 minutes late at the end, but that wasn't a problem as I didn't have to change trains. The staff were friendly at the ticket inspections and there were plenty of facilities. All in all, a great journey despite the delay!

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.
