The market for night train service has declined significantly in recent years due to the introduction of faster day train services and the rapid growth of low-cost airlines. As a result the night train network has shrunk considerably. The goal of this study was to identify innovative development paths for night train service. The study focused on investigating the potential for operating night train service on high-speed lines using high-speed rolling stock. This would significantly increase the distance range for night trains and thereby serve a new market segment.
