Overview
While there is considerable physical infrastructure dedicated to the providing of sleeper routes across Europe, there is little in the way of digital presence outlining the network of night trains for users cohesively.
With that said, a list was compiled of a number of direct and indirect competitive services to the “Sleeper Routes” service, which are listed below;
OBB NightJet
Operating as a direct competitor, the Austrian national provider, provides information on its night rail services which operate across mainland Europe.
Pros
- The website provides all the necessary information on the company’s rail links
- Providers, a platform to purchase tickets directly from the provider
- Has multiple language options for users which allows for more in-depth accessibility
- Outlines all the relative train departures for cross-regional travel from one destination in a list.
Cons
- The website is not responsive and is limited to a format that is 1275px in width, preventing Mac users and mobile users from having a full in-depth viewing experience
- The timetable section is not limited to night train routes but rather all cross-regional routes
