Hungary/ Austria/ CzechoslovakiaTravel ..day or night?
In late November, we are travelling by rail between between Budapest/ Vienna, Vienna/ Prague, and Prague/Frankfurt.
I am wondering if the scenery on these routes would be worth giving it some of our precious daylight hours.
I would appreciate your thoughts.

I'd say the scenery is nothing special but have you looked at the night train options? Not a pretty picture. Short transfers and sitting in train stations for hours in the middle of the night. These are short routes so are not typical long distance night trains.
When you look at train schedules you need to look beyond the arrival and departure times - look at the intermediary stops.

Budapest-Vienna is less than three hours; Vienna to Prague is four hours. Night trains don't work on those itineraries. If you want to save daylight, take the earliest possible train, sleep, and get to the destination city asap.

Thank you for your thoughts.
We're from Australia so grey will be different, particularly if snow has fallen.
As you suggest Adrienne, I will check out the intermediary stops.
Will consider your approach Big Russ.
Cheers.....
