Hi InterRailers and EuRailers
According to information posted on the Eurail website, [quote] As from December 2012 Elipsos night trains no longer operate on the following routes:
Discontinued routes of Elipsos night train
Barcelona – Zurich (EN 273/274)
Barcelona – Milan (EN 11273/11274)
The last service from Barcelona to Zurich or Milan is planned on December 6 2012. From Zurich and Milan the last Elipsos train will depart on December 7.
[/quote]
This will significantly affect the ability to travel by night trains between those countries.
Cheers

Is there an alternative to travel from Barcelona to Milan?

No. No real alternative. The fastest connection by day train is within 15 hours.
Barcelona dep: 0616
Milan arr: 2145
Options: like before with an overnight stop in Nice or Marseilles.
Or if you like it: by ferry from Barcelona to Livorno ([u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-ferry/barcelona-livorno/25[/u]), then by train to Milan. There is a direct IC train (4:30h) which you could use.
