Posted by zac on Tue Sep 15 22:09:11 2020, in response to France: SNCF reviving Paris–Nice overnight sleeper train after three years absence, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Sep 15 21:20:04 2020. I rode a night train from Paris to Milan around 2010 and it was actually unpleasant. The train was old, the diner only had some crappy pre-made sandwiches, the departing station had no services, and there was someone on the phone half the night. It was billed as a luxury train but there was nothing luxurious about it. We got to Milan around 5am so we couldn't even leave the station as there was no place yet to go. The taxi driver tried to charge me 50euro and I told him no. I'm a NYer and don't get ripped off by taxi drivers.Anyway I wouldn't do it again. Everyone told me to just fly and it would be cheaper but I thought it would be a bit of an adventure to travel the old European way. That said, I took a train from Oslo to Flam to then get on a boat to Balestrand and then Bergen and it was spectacular. There are some cab view videos of the exact trip I did on youtube, but these are in winter and are even more spectacular. |
