However, the service between Vienna and Brussels remains unchanged and continues to operate three times a week on schedule.

Partners of the Nightjet project, such as DB, SNCF, and NMBS-SNCB, are actively expanding the European network of night trains. However, temporary difficulties at construction sites in France and Germany have necessitated the temporary suspension of certain routes.

ÖBB regrets any inconvenience caused and advises passengers to consider alternative routes, such as daytime trains or via Brussels with subsequent use of Eurostar to reach Paris.

Normal schedules for all Nightjet routes are expected to resume from early October 2024.
