Finding a manufacturer for night trains is not a problem Alstom is listed along with 12 other companies on our page about this 👇 trainsforeurope.eu/detail/wh… The question is: WHO other than ÖBB in Europe is committed enough to night trains, and strong enough, to place an order?

Who could manufacture the night train carriages needed?

Were the Trains for Europe project to be successful, a contract would have to be placed with one or more manufacturers of night train carriages. Here nine possible manufacturers, and their locations...

„Doch Berlin ist in der schlechtesten Lage: Weder die DB noch der deutsche Staat wollen das Problem lösen“, klagte Worth (Gründer Trains for Europe) Zusammenfassung der heutigen Konferenz zu Nachtzügen von/nach Berlin... berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-m…

Nach London, Oslo, Madrid: So könnte das Berliner Nachtzugnetz wachsen

Eine Studie für den Senat lotet aus, welche Strecken und Ziele dazukommen könnten. Doch bis mehr Züge fahren, sind große Herausforderungen zu bewältigen.
