Overview

• The users’ collective Oui au train de nuit says a key French payment could be withdrawn, threatening the Paris–Vienna and Paris–Berlin services.
• Reports put the support for the Berlin link at roughly €10 million per year, with the future of that aid in question.
• Relaunched in 2021 and 2023, the trains run only three days a week despite earlier talk of daily operations.
• The routes operate under ÖBB’s Nightjet brand in partnership with SNCF Voyageurs and Deutsche Bahn.
• SNCF Voyageurs offered no comment and the Transport Ministry had not responded, while the collective plans a protest at Paris’s Gare de l’Est on Friday.
