Austrian rail operator ÖBB is to suspend its Nightjet services between Berlin and Brussels from Friday (28 March).
ÖBB, which only launched the overnight Berlin-Brussels rail route in December 2023, blamed “short notice engineering work” for the decision to cancel the service “until further notice”.
The Nightjet service has been running three days per week between Berlin and Brussels with a journey time of around 13 hours and 30 minutes. But it has faced competition on the route from the rival European Sleeper train, which also operates three times per week.
ÖBB added in a statement that construction work taking place in Germany, Austria and France would also mean the cancellation of some other Nightjet trains on the Vienna-Paris, Berlin-Paris, Zurich-Amsterdam and Zurich-Prague routes on a range of dates from 27 March to late May.
