End for ÖBB Night Train Between Vienna and Paris

The French Ministry of Transport has stopped the financial aid to the railway company SNCF for the operation of the night trains Vienna-Paris and Berlin-Paris for the year 2026, the ÖBB announced on Monday, thus confirming media reports from the past week.

ÖBB Night Train Between Vienna and Paris Discontinued

"The ÖBB regret that after the withdrawal of the French partners, the two night train connections can no longer be offered from December 14, 2025," said the federal railways in a statement.

The connections were operated by the ÖBB in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn, the French SNCF, and the Belgian NMBS/SNCB. ÖBB Nightjets were used, and the train connections were staffed and marketed by all participating railway companies. The operation of the night trains is not possible without the involvement of international partners, according to the ÖBB. The Vienna-Brussels connection, on the other hand, will still be offered three times a week in 2026.
