The night train that promises to reinvent travel across Europe will arrive in 2027
Sleep in a comfortable bed, wake up in another city, and choose a more sustainable option than flying. That’s the idea behind Nox, a Berlin-based start-up planning to build a network of night trains connecting more than 100 European cities by 2035, with the first journeys scheduled for 2027.
Pero Nox doesn’t want to be like traditional trains: its private cabins—single or double—promise an almost hotel-like experience on rails. Equipped with two-metre beds, a desk, luggage space, and in some cases, panoramic windows, they aim to attract both tourists and business travellers who no longer want to give up comfort while crossing the continent. All from 79 euros per journey.
The idea comes from two railway enthusiasts: Janek Smalla, formerly of FlixTrain, and Thibault Constant, YouTuber of Simply Railway, who has travelled on more than 400 night trains. Their vision: to restore the night train’s lost prominence against air travel, but with a modern, flexible, and private offering.
With cities like Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, or Barcelona on its roadmap, Nox wants to make train travel more than just a means of transport: an experience that begins at the station and ends with breakfast in another city.
