A brand-new sleeper train connecting six European countries is launching this summer
It might feel like more new train services are launching in Europe than we can keep up with, but they're all being thought up as a response to ever-growing demand. The latest addition? A shiny new sleeper service between Poland and Croatia. The new project is courtesy of Polish rail company PKP Intercity, and will run from Warsaw, Poland's capital, all the way to Rijeka on the coast of Croatia. It'll pass through Czechia, Austria, Slovenia and Hungary en route, covering a total of 1,200 km. The service is being launched to meet the increasing demand for trains for Polish travellers hoping to visit Croatia during the summer. Southbound trains will depart Warsaw at 2pm, moving through Czechia and arriving in Vienna by 10pm, where select carriages will detach and continue on to Croatia separately. At around midnight in Slovenia, the train will be joined with an 'Istria' overnight service from Budapest. The service will then stop in Ljubljana in the morning, before arriving in Rijeka at around 9am. According to eTravel, tickets start at just 200 PLN (roughly €47) and the service will be equipped to carry 172 passengers, set to run southbound on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and northbound on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The train will be air-conditioned, and both couchette cars with sleeping berths and standard second-class compartments will be on offer. The inaugural service is set to depart on Friday June 27, running until the end of August.
