"I recently did a trip with a company called European Sleeper which is just a, uh, just put together by two big train fans, one from Brussels and one from, uh, Holland. And they just came together and decided that they wanted to bring back sleepers because of the, I suppose it was towards the end of the '90s that most of the Eur- most of Europe sleeper trains were phased out. And they were really sad that there wasn't a sleeper from Amsterdam anymore. And they managed to, I think they crowd-funded quite a lot of it, um, but they also got investors and, by and large, they managed to put together the, the inaugural train that set off from Brussels and it ran overnight from, I think it was 7:30 p.m., got in at 8:30 in the morning to Berlin. And it's gonna carry on to Prague. That's their, their next destination in mind. And it was just the most magic journey. There were tourists who'd come in from all over the world actually, just to, to ride this train."
