All aboard for seamless night train travel across Europe

European Sleeper, the direct night train service that connects Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic, has partnered with Moovit with a view to making journey planning and payment easier for European passengers.

European Sleeper passengers from Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague, can seamlessly plan and pay for their direct night train journeys – from within the Moovit app.

Transport ticketing network

The direct night train service is encouraging citizens across Europe and beyond to plan their journeys and pay for them using the free Moovit app. Purchasing and validating transport tickets, via Moovit, has been enabled using ground transportation technology company Distribusion’s transport ticketing network.

European Sleeper is one of the few private international train operators in Europe, linking four countries and capitals with a single night train. Since May 2023, it has run a thrice-weekly service from Brussels and Amsterdam to Berlin and Prague. The new route to Venice launched in the winter of 2025 enabling European Sleeper to expand the network of comfortable, eco-friendly night journeys.

“This collaboration makes it even easier for our passengers to plan their journeys door-to-door, combining our comfortable night trains with local public transport options”

Once a user launches the Moovit app, inputs their destination and selects their route, Moovit will: 

• Display the total cost of the journey: whether it’s a single bus journey, or transferring lines, Moovit will calculate and display the total, and breakdown, fare of the journey
• Enable in-app ticket purchasing: Moovit users will be able to purchase their transport tickets directly in the app
• Provide ticket validation: via ticket booking confirmation email and PDF ticket.

Chris Engelsman, co-founder of European Sleeper, said: “We’re excited to partner with Moovit, the world’s leading urban mobility app. “This collaboration makes it even easier for our passengers to plan their journeys door-to-door, combining our comfortable night trains with local public transport options. Together, we’re making sustainable, seamless travel across Europe more accessible than ever.”
