**EuroNight**, abbreviated **EN**, is a [European train category](/source/Train_categories_in_Europe) that denotes many mainline national and international [night train](/source/Sleeping_car) services within the Western and Central [European](/source/Europe) [inter-city rail](/source/Inter-city_rail) network.

## Overview

The classification and name were brought into use in May 1993.[1] As the name suggests, the EuroNight trains tend to run during the [nighttime](/source/Night) and are generally equipped with [sleeping cars](/source/Sleeping_car). Nearly all EuroNight trains require reservations and additional fare supplements in addition to the regular cost of a ticket from the destination to the arrival point. These supplements vary in price depending on whether the passenger choose a regular seat, a [couchette](/source/Couchette_car) "lying bed", which offers a padded, felt bed with a blanket and small pillow, or a [sleeping bed](/source/Sleeping_car), which allows a mattress bed with full bedding (sheets, comforters, pillows).

Nearly all EuroNight services are international and jointly operated by [national rail companies](/source/List_of_railway_companies) sharing cars on a route. EN trains are the standard night-train service for [Western](/source/Western_Europe) and most [Central European](/source/Central_Europe) nations. They are distinct from the older D-Nacht services, many of which still operate in Central and [Eastern Europe](/source/Eastern_Europe). EN trains have criteria that rail companies must match in order to receive EN designation; the numbering format is *EN 999*; many routes also have accompanying names derived in the 19th and 20th centuries.

## Operating carriers

The following carriers currently have designated cars and [train conductors](/source/Conductor_(transportation)) who work the EN lines. Many railway companies share cars on the same train line between routes; for example, EN 235 between [Vienna](/source/Vienna) and [Rome](/source/Rome) share cars of both the [ÖBB](/source/%C3%96BB) and [Trenitalia](/source/Trenitalia).

- Austria's [ÖBB](/source/%C3%96BB) (routes also designated as [Nightjet](/source/Nightjet) or NJ)
- Croatia's [HŽ](/source/Hrvatske_%C5%BEeljeznice)
- Czech Republic's [ČD](/source/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A9_dr%C3%A1hy)
- Germany's [BahnTouristikExpress](/source/BahnTouristikExpress)
- Hungary's [MÁV](/source/M%C3%81V)
- Poland's [PKP Intercity](/source/PKP_Intercity)
- Romania's [CFR](/source/C%C4%83ile_Ferate_Rom%C3%A2ne)
- Slovakia's [ZSSK](/source/%C5%BDelezni%C4%8Dn%C3%A1_spolo%C4%8Dnos%C5%A5_Slovensko)
- Slovenia's [SZ](/source/Slovenian_Railways)
- Switzerland's [SBB](/source/SBB-CFF-FFS)

[Deutsche Bahn](/source/Deutsche_Bahn) terminated all of its own night train services by December 2016.[2]. Before termination, Deutsche Bahn operated the [City Night Line](/source/City_Night_Line) hotel-quality night services between [Germany](/source/Germany), [Italy](/source/Italy), the [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland), and [The Netherlands](/source/The_Netherlands). Two of those, the *Kopernikus* and the *Canopus*, were designated EuroNight trains as EN 458/459.

As of 2025, [Swiss Federal Railways](/source/Swiss_Federal_Railways) (SBB) were planning to reintroduce an overnight Euronight service from 2026 between Basel‒Copenhagen‒Malmö following the [CityNightLine *Aurora*](/source/Aurora_(CityNightLine)) route withdrawn in 2014.
