I am curious to know what is the longest single night sleeper journey you can make in Europe at the moment. Ignoring Covid 19 timetables?
They aren’t single night journeys though?Paris Moscow (or Nice Moscow)?

Stockholm-Narvik and Vienna-Bucharest are both just over 1100km if I have added the ERT distances correctly. Bucharest at 19h22 (allowing for the time zone change) beats Narvik at 18h45, but has a 50min stop in Budapest.I have just come across a sleeper service Budapest to Bucharest 17 hrs. Is this journey time so lengthy due to the speed of the train or the distance.
As I understand it some of the Scandinavian sleeper services are quite lengthy.
Very comfortable winner on distance too at 1500-odd Km (though I think the time zone makes it an hour less)How about the Wien to Kyiv train, which was scheduled for 23h22m I think.
I was really surprised to see how many there are, there are even two from Palermo to Roma.Quite a few long sleepers in Italy, including those that use the train ferry to/from Sicily.
I believe the really long distance ones depend on specific subsidy, hence the "subject to confirmation" in ERT.I was really surprised to see how many there are, there are even two from Palermo to Roma.

However, both are beaten by the Milan-Palermo sleeper which takes nearly 21h to cover about 1550km - including a train ferry.
Thanks, I must have missed a chunk of the route altogether - or my mental arithmetic is faulty!Stockholm-Narvik is 1461 km according to https://www.tydal.nu/php/tag/km.php?restart which is usually reliable.
