Austria has launched a new line of sleeper trains that feature sleeping cabins, ideal for those travelling alone or seeking to save up on accommodation.<\/p>\n

The initial reviews are positive, with one YouTube content creator expressing enthusiasm as a “huge fan of this new innovation.”<\/p>\n

\u00d6BB, Austria’s national railway company, introduced the revamped and redesigned Nightjet in October, and the new trains commenced service on Sunday, December 10.<\/p>\n

The introduction of these innovative pod-style cabins enhances the travel experience for solo passengers, contributing to the overall positive reception of the new-generation Nightjet sleeper trains.<\/p>\n

The solo cabins feature a range of amenities designed for convenience and comfort. Each cabin is equipped with a movable folding table, complete with an integrated mirror, coat hooks, a reading lamp, and adjacent lockers for hand luggage and shoes.<\/p>\n

Nonstop Eurotrip, a YouTuber and travel expert, experienced the journey in one of the new pods, covering over 1,000km (621 miles) from Vienna to Hamburg, Germany.<\/p>\n

In his review, he hailed the design as the \u201cmost innovative idea in sleeper trains for 100-plus years,\u201d highlighting the impact and forward-thinking approach of Austria’s revamped Nightjet sleeper trains.<\/p>\n

The YouTube user said: \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of this new innovation. I was more than happy to spend the night in one of these pods with their excellent comfort and privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels really spacious as long as you’re not too tall. The mattress and pillow are both very comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the inaugural journey, the YouTuber noted one minor downside, mentioning that the \u201cdoors don’t have a locked open position,\u201d implying that once inside, keeping the door in an open position might be slightly challenging.<\/p>\n

In addition to the innovative solo pods, the new-generation formations consist of 33 sets, featuring extensively redesigned sleeping cars designed for one to two people and couchettes capable of accommodating up to four passengers.<\/p>\n
