Are any of these overnight trains?
I know there are sites and books to figure this out but can anyone tell me first hand if they know? I'm having problems locating the information I need. Here's my list I'm wondering about:<BR><BR>Dublin Ireland to London England (I know there's a ferry in there too, I'm just curious if this can be done overnight)<BR>Amsterdam Netherlands to Berlin Germany<BR>Berlin to Krakow Poland<BR>Krakow to Prague Czech<BR>Prague to Budapest Hungary<BR>Zermatt Switzerland to Frankfurt Germany

I would suggest you contact Rail Europe<BR>or go on the website. They have train schedules and will answer all train questions you have and help you form a good schedule, it's an 800 No. I went through Europe by train last year and they were a major help to me.

If you visit this web site, it will provide links to several national rail sites, including Germany and Great Britain. The German site is fairly comprehensive for most of western and central Europe. I think you can find answers to your questions that way.<BR>The German site has an English version.<BR>

Yes, both Stena Line and Irish Ferries have boats leaving from Dublin and/or Dun Leary (pardon me for not attempting the Gaelic spelling) in the late evening that connect to the train leaving from Holyhead at 2:09 AM, arriving London 7:39 AM, with a change in Birmingham.

The reason I suggested contacting Rail Europe was so you can speak to a person if that makes you a little more comfortable. You can just ask for schedules to help, you don't have to book through them. I didn't book all my tickets through them, some I did better on my own. On the Eurail 1st class pass they worked out better for me.
