The long-distance Night Train Diagram 2025 has undergone some changes in the 2026 update. Services on the NightJet to Paris and Berlin-Brussels have been cancelled. By contrast, European Sleeper is introducing a new train from Paris and Brussels to Berlin in March. In June, they will introduce a train from Amsterdam and Brussels to Milan. RDC will continue operating the night train from Stockholm to Hamburg and Berlin, even without support from Trafikverket, the Swedish transport authority.
The night-time Intercity trains from Rostock to Berlin and from Stuttgart to Vienna have been discontinued due to DB’s disposal of their Stadler KISS IC2 trains. Instead, an ICE train will connect Berlin with Munich via Leipzig, Erfurt and Bamberg. During the summer, there are two night-time RJ services connecting Prague and Berlin with Hamburg, and one connecting Prague and Copenhagen.
I made an effort on analysing the timetables carefully. However, if you discover any mistake in the diagram, please let me know. Just be aware that I had to make numerous simplifications because the routes and stops vary strongly. Please always refer to the current timetables.
Please also make sure to see the diagram showing the systematic long-distance day trains.

Hello ! I would like to add that the PKP IC trains „Uznam“ and „Ursa“ (from Berlin to Chelm via Warsaw for the former, and from Berlin to Przemysl via Wroclaw for the latter) are missing from the map.

Thank you for your comment! I have finally added these trains. I have somehow never come across them before.

Thank you for your addition !However, I have to add a detail : contrarily to the EN train from Munich to Warsaw, the IC Uznam / Ursa does not have any couchette or sleeper carriages from Berlin to Poznan, only seated carriages.This’d make an additional category of trains in your map.If this situation changes (and it might, as PKP Intercity would like to make the service more qualitative) I’ll inform you in case you don’t come across such news. I appreciate your work and your dedication very much !

Hello ! The SJ EuroNight is only operated by RDC since the end of the month of August. It does not run every day of the week either (as it runs 3 times a week).
The European Sleeper train to Milan currently does not serve Zürich, and serves Aarau instead.
There also was a Leo Express service from Frankfurt to Przemysl in Poland, running via Erfurt, Leipzig, Dresden and Prague… But it was short-lived, and it currently is indefinitely suspended because works on railway infrastructure in Germany destabilize its operation. You can choose to represent it or not.
This detail is less relevant, but the Nightjet from Berlin to Vienna runs with the EuroNight from Berlin to Budapest. It could still be helpful to indicate that this is an NJ / EN route and that Bratislava and Budapest are among the destinations that this train has.

Thank you for your tips. The night train business is very dynamic, so it’s always difficult for me to keep up. The European Sleeper train was originally scheduled to stop in Zurich, but I haven’t managed to change that yet. I wasn’t aware of the EN to Budapest, so I will take a look at that too.
