Berlin Start-Up Nox to launch night trains with entirely private rooms from 2027
There’s something about travelling by rail. I always feel like it is a proper journey, an expedition. One of our favourite ways to travel to London is by Caledonian Sleeper, one of the small group of night trains running in Europe.
The prices are eye watering, however, for the reduction on stress for me – no out if the way airport journey and no security queue. The main one I think for me is less people around. I have my own space without someone listening to music, telling everyone about their plans for the week and well I like to lie down as well, it’comfy.
Nox, a Berlin-based startup has joined this small night trains group with plans to operate Europe-wide overnight trains with fully personal rooms for one or two people at the price of a flight.
“Sleeping while a train gets you across Europe is a great concept. But today people have to share their cabins with strangers, beds are tight, and it’s often more expensive than air travel. We want to change that and make night trains an essential part of European travel,” says Thibault Constant, Co-Founder of Nox. On YouTube and Instagram, he is known as “Simply Railway”, with over half a million followers and over 400 night train trips worldwide under his belt.
All three room types will have 2 metre long beds, separate seats with tables, enough space to stand up and store your luggage (hello Caledonian Sleeper please sort this out!) Nox also plans to offer double beds and beds with panoramic window views.
