Sylt is an island in northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein), known for its tourist resorts as well as for its 40-kilometre-long sandy beach.RDC Germany successfully operated the inaugural Sylt – Salzburg Alpen-Sylt overnight train on July 5, carrying 120 passengers.
The train is operating on Thursdays and Saturdays from Westerland/Sylt via Hamburg, Frankfurt/Main and Munich to Salzburg, returning on Fridays and Sundays. The train comprises 10-11 coaches and is offering journeys times of 16-19 hours.
Back to railway matters: last year (or was it two years ago?) another independent Geman rail operator tried running a (daytime) long-distance service and went out of business pretty soon. I wonder how this one will fare.
