Strategy for new Nightjet routes centred on Switzerland

[30907]

Sorry - what's "UFN"?

Are there any reasons why not-very-high-speed trains can't use new high-speed lines (at times when they're not getting in the way of high-speed traffic, such as at night)? Or do new HS lines on the continent have special signalling that only new TGVs etc can cope with?

UFN - Until Further Notice. Sorry, thought it was a common non-railway acronym.

The Budapest-Bucuresti Ister had a restaurant car within Romania pre-Covid, and the Spanish TALGO sets (not running at all ATM) had a buffet/bar. The Moscow-Paris/Nice ISTR have a Polish car.

Moscow-Paris in a special case with its journey taking two nights and the day in between, thus definitely needing some sort of catering. And the restaurant car is russian between Moscow and Brest, and then polish between Warsaw and Paris. Been there, used both.

Moscow to Paris isn't covered by Interrail, mind.

Aha - thanks. From the context I took it to mean some sort of technical restriction relating to loco-hauled stock on HS lines...!
