Night Train Map 2024

How to use our night train map:

The colours indicate which operator’s website is best for booking. All websites are in English and offer online booking (TCDD Taşımacılık: translation does not work on splash page but in the booking engine). We are in the process of adding more information – line by line – from our night train database, to make our map fully interactive.

Is the map complete and up to date?

If a line is missing or has been discontinued, please let us know. Please note:

We only add trains that offer sleeping or couchette cars.
We add irregular services only if they run at least weekly for three subsequent months.
We do not add luxury cruise trains or car trains that do not allow booking without a vehicle.
We add future lines when they are announced for the current year’s timetable.
We aim to provide an overview, so we can not display all stops.
Lines, stops and end points are not necessarily at their exact geographical location.

Printable version: The programme used for maintaining the map does not export print-optimised versions. For professional tools that can export a printable version with every update we lack funding. However, there is a sufficient margin for A2 printouts, so any designer will be able to import the PDF and the fonts in a professional vector design programme like InDesign and provide you with a printable version within 10-15 minutes.

Our design was inspired by the great works of Jug Cerovič, theflyingindonesian and the night train poster of buerodespraesidenten/Green EP Group.

Would you like a professional print?

Our Night Train Map is printed annually in February/March as a poster which can be ordered below. We don’t send single copies because individual posters in a C4 envelope get creased too easily – so order one for you and and make somebody else learn more about night trains. The price covers only cost of printing, packaging and postage (to all regular addresses worldwide). So feel free to round up the price if you would also like to support our work.
