Hello!
I've got two questions concerning night trains.
When I have an Interrail-ticket and want to travel from Vienna to Prague(Sunday, 22.08-3.22, EN476), how much do I have to pay for this train? Here in this forum I saw a post, where it was said, that a normal seat would cost 5 Euro. Is it correct?
My secong question is about the night-train from Brno to Budapest. It's the EN 477 from Berlin to Budapest, I want to go in in Brno. Here I found the information, that a normal seat cost 3 Euro. Is it correct?
I hope, someone can help me.
Thanks a lot

Hi Fabian.
You are talking about these two topics:
[b]Vienna-Prague EN476[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/vienna-berlin-night-train/f3729[/u]
[b]Berlin-Brno-Budapest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-budapest-night-train/f3359[/u]
The information are both up to date. If there are changes, we correct it at the forum posts.
Peter :)

OK, thanks for your answer.
Today I was at the station to ask some questions about Interrail. There they told me, that in the night train from Vienna to Prague(D406) are no normal seats. There are only beds, and with an Interrail I had to pay 39€ more.
Does anybody know if this is the truth? Or are there normals seats, like in almost every other train?
Thanks a lot

Hi!
The 406 consists of several portions with different origins and destinations. There are seats available to Praha but only in the Berlin portion of the train (EN 476). This means that you would have to get off at Praha hl n at 0322. The part of the train running from Vienna to Praha only (R 470) is indeed only one sleeper carriage (arr Praha hl n 0615) without regular seats.
However, here is another option for you:
Wien Süd Ostseite 2025 - 2125 Bratislava hl st
Bratislava hl st 2250 - Praha hl n 0615
On this train (476/470) you have regular seats as well as a sleeper carriage. It carries the Wien - Prag sleeper as well, thus the same arrival time in Praha. :)

OK. But this means, that I can easily travel from Vienna to Praha(Arriving in Praha at 3.22) in a normal seat,or doesn't it?

Yeah, you can do so if you want. You only need a 5€ reservation for the seat.

Yes, but count with 5€ compulsory seat reservation in EN 476 and that you will end up in Prague in the middle of the night.
If you want to travel overnight, but don't want to pay couchette/sleeper surcharge, I recommend this variant:
D406 Chopin: Wien 22:23 - Ostrava hl.n. 1:57
R400 Silesia: Ostrava hl.n. 2:20 - Praha 6:51
Both trans have reservation-free seat cars and you'll arrive to Prague at normal time :) If the D406 would be delayed, you could change to R400 also in Přerov or Ostrava-Svinov.
