Sleeping on a Night Train

In Europe, many people travel between cities on a night train. They get on the train in the evening in one city. They sleep in a small bed inside the train. In the morning, they wake up in a new city far away.

These trains have different kinds of beds. Some seats turn into simple bunks at night. Other rooms have soft beds, a little sink, and warm blankets. A worker checks the tickets early, so people can sleep without any trouble.

Night trains are coming back across Europe today. People like them because they save time and a hotel night. The trains are also better for the air than a plane. Many travelers love to watch the dark fields and quiet towns go by before they fall asleep.
