New night train from Amsterdam to Munich, Innsbruck, or Vienna

Trains are definitely the place to look for good news these days:

From December 2020, the Austrian night train specialist ÖBB and the Dutch State Railways NS will start a daily night train from Amsterdam to Munich, Innsbruck and Vienna. In the evening, the passengers board the train to arrive at their destination sleepily the next morning.

Or maybe not sleepily but fresh and ready to go!

Here are the juicy details (taken from this article translated to English using Chrome):

  1. It will start in December 2020

  2. Early evening departure from Amsterdam

  3. In Nuremberg, the train will divide in two, one part going to Munich + Innsbruck, the other to Vienna

  4. Seats will be 29€ for seats (no thanks!), 59€ for berths (better), and 79€ for sleeping cars (best!)

  5. There will be a space for wheelchairs and bicycles (fantastic if true).

I presume taking the trip the other way has the same train gymnastics in reverse.

One more piece fitted into the jigsaw.

Good.
