THANKS!
Been off-line for a week, but I'll look into these, now that I'm back.


Overnight sleeper trains are being phased out.

ITWYM is: Overnight sleeper trains are becoming little used and as such
unprofitable (if indeed they ever were profitable) and train operators
are realising that the subsidy required to keep them is better spent

On an overnight from Vienna to Venice, because the route takes less
time than overnight, we stopped mid-way for a couple of hours. And the
fumes of oil permeated everything. Hard to breathe. Never again would
I take an overnight train.
