Is there a PARIS--MILAN direct sleeper?
 

Went to the SNCF site and to our travel agent and can't find a way to sleep on a Paris-milan-Bologna trip. took it 15 years ago and now can't find it. thanks

Yes, there is. <BR><BR>Paris-Est to Milano Centrale <BR> <BR>dep. 10:43 pm <BR>arr. 10:15 am <BR> <BR>Duration of journey : 11:32<BR>runs daily<BR>

Joe: Try www.seat61.com for some good general info on the sleeper trains. Although his journeys start/end in London the overnight trains leave/return from Paris. Regards, Walter

Joe, the connection I mentioned above is via Zurich, where you will have to change train. Arrival in Zurich is at 6 something in the morning and you will be woken up at that moment.<BR>The train has a sleeping car and sleeperettes.

There is a direct night train from Paris-Bercy 22:20, arriving in Milano Centrale 8:45. If you take the 22:43 from Paris-Est, you have to change in Z&uuml;rich (arr 6:20, dep 6:30).

<BR>The reference library of a city near you may have the Thomas Cook European Timetable. Table 44 (Winter) shows trains thus. Paris Bercy 2220, Milan 0845 to 0900, restaurant car train, Bologna 1044<BR>Paris Bercy 1909, Bologna 0632. These trains are also in http://www.sncf.com/indexe.htm<BR><BR>Ben Haines<BR>, London
