Hello, welcome to a special train trip report. For this video I am reviewing the ALPEN-SYLT Nachtexpress, a pop-up sleeper train from RDC Autozug Sylt.

This service is a pretty special one, as at the beginning of the year there were no plans for any such service. However with circumstances demanding more private travel experiences, RDC Autozug Sylt decided to run a tourist sleeper train between the Alps (Salzburg, Austria) and Sylt (Westerland, Germany), stopping at numerous destinations along the way.

I was honestly unsure if I'd get the opportunity to try out this train, with border restrictions in many countries, but luckily I was able to, and am very glad that I could, as the service was very cheap, friendly, and comfortable.

I hope you enjoy my review of this sleeper train as much as I enjoyed making it! :)
