Newrest in first line on European night trains expansion

Lately, a strong political willingness to reconnect the European main cities led to the revival of the night train use. The night train revival aims to promote poor co2 emission transport solution and to offer a very rich customer experience.

Newrest got multiple skills to support railway companies in their end-to-end on-board night train services offer. Therefore, it intends to be a key partner to this night train expansion thanks to its multiple and unique expertise in Europe.

Here are two examples of Newrest’s knowledge and commitment to its clients:

In Austria, the Group does everything on board: welcoming passengers, controlling tickets, selling tickets, preparing and serving all meals, cleaning, laundry, supervise locomotive changes, check train safety components (brakes, alarms), as well as ensuring the safety of passengers.
Recently, on board of the Connecting Europe Express, a Newrest brigade made 26,000 km day and night journey. They crossed 33 borders in 36 days, ensuring the comfort and tranquility of hundreds of passengers. It’s a unique performance made by a passionate on-board service team.

Newrest Wagons-Lits currently operates in France, Austria, the United Kingdom, Spain and Morocco in multiple sectors: high speed train, conventional speed day and night trains. It now offers all rail operators turnkey solutions for on-board services, logistics, and train management.
