The rail route network in Germany is managed centrally by DB Netz, i.e. it regulates which railroad may operate a route at which time of day. Night trains, unlike regular trains, are often sent along alternating secondary routes rather than fast main routes. In addition, for short-term maintenance of the rail infrastructure, there may be nighttime track construction sites that make it necessary to reroute trains. DB-Netz can therefore only communicate the concrete route of the night train between the stopping stations at comparatively short notice, which can lead to deviating departure times of a few minutes up to +60 minutes (1h) at short notice.
Please note: Shortly before your departure, we will send you an e-mail with the final departure time, the respective carriage order and the platform of your train. This will enable you to board directly at the platform in the carriage in which your booked compartment or seat is located. Therefore, please be sure to check the inbox of the e-mail account you used for your booking shortly before departure and be at the platform on the day of travel in time for the departure time stated therein.
