Scandinavian night train service expansion

Overview

Rail operators are expanding night train services in Scandinavia and across Europe. In late August 2026, Snälltåget announced a trial run for a direct night train service between Malmö and Trondheim, scheduled for September 5–6, 2026. This test, facilitated by the electrification of the Meråker Line, aims to extend the Malmö–Storlien service into Norway with stops in Stockholm, Åre, and Hell.

European Sleeper is also growing its network. A new service is set to debut on September 9, 2026, connecting Milan to Brussels via Cologne, traveling through Switzerland with stops at Como San Giovanni, Lugano, and Bellinzona. This route is expected to see further extensions to the Netherlands and Belgium by December.

Looking toward spring 2028, European Sleeper and RDC plan to launch a sleeper service connecting Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Malmö. This route is designed to provide a “no-change overnight link” between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark/Sweden. Long-term projects also include a planned Brussels-Barcelona connection in 2028.
