Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

URL gives me a 404 error. But I found this link that mentions it which is both working and Cloudflare-free:

https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Blog/Night-trains → https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Routes/Brussels-Vienna

From the site:

Travel at high speed and in all comfort between Brussels and Vienna.

I suppose all trains are sustainable but night trains are typically more sustainable because they tend to be slow (more efficient) trains. But the Brussels-Vienna train is fast. Though if it gets people off planes I guess it still scores some points for that.
