European Sleeper train (1)

BELGIUM: Support for overnight train services from Belgium is coming from an unexpected source, according to one of the more unusual missives to reach the Railway Gazette International inbox.

According to a Verdic astrologer from India, the recent extension of European Sleeper’s Brussels – Berlin service to Praha had been predicted by the planets.

Looking further ahead, Belgium can apparently expect funding for railway upgrades and modernisation this year.
