The regions and cities will play an important role in the process of enabling the redeployment of night trains.

The Benelux, and in particular Brussels, has the opportunity to become again a night train hub linking the north with the south and the west with the east of Europe:

Since January of this year there is a Vienna-Brussels line, the Swedish government announced its intention to launch a Mälmö-Bruxelles connection from 2022 and different initiatives call to link the European capital with Paris, Berlin or Warsaw again.

In the mainframe of this workshop, the participants will discuss the conditions for the post-COVID roll-out of a new European night train network and its impact.
