This, like the other night train projects planned to open in the next few years, seems encouraging. However, in my personal opinion, they are lacking something. They add new routes, which is very positive, but there could be some improvements in the design of night trains that are conceivable today.
I am the author of a research paper on exactly this topic: it is about new types of night trains, to find a way to build a real travelling hotel. The work includes innovative interior design concepts, new on-board and off-board services, layouts of different carriages; there is also a basic business plan that verifies the possibility of realisation.
If you are interested, it is published in the book ‘Hotel-Train’, isbn 978-88-31474-12-2.
Thank you!
