Work, unwind, rest. A look inside Nox Suite. We can’t wait to welcome you on board between Munich, Augsburg, Bremen and Hamburg next year 🌙 #nighttrain #travel #hamburg #munich #noxmobility

Meet Nox Suites. Business class reimagined for rail. Your own space, premium service and a seat that reclines into a lounge position! Launching in 2027 on the Hamburg-Munich route. Let us know what you think!

This is more than just a train behind the curtain. Come and see what we've been building at #InnoTrans in Berlin 🚆 We have quite a lot to tell you. Meet us on Track 4 between Hall 2 and Hall 4. See you soon 👀

🎉 BIG NEWS: We just closed our first funding round! Led by #IBBVentures, alongside Tommaso Luca and industry expert like Dr. Patrick Andrade (CEO of HomeToGo) all backing overnight rail as a real alternative to short-haul flight ✈️ Now, let’s put a train on the tracks 🚆

🎉 BIG NEWS: We just closed our first funding round! Led by #IBBVentures, alongside Tommaso Luca and industry expert like Dr. Patrick Andrade (CEO of HomeToGo) all backing overnight rail as a real alternative to short-haul flight ✈️ Now, let’s put a train on the tracks 🚆

🚆 Big step for Nox in 2026! Artur Hasselbach joins as CFO & Co-Founder alongside Thibault & Janek. From founding companies to investing in Europe’s fintech & mobility startups, he’s the right person to take Nox from concept to a real train. More soon 👀

What a year! 🚆 Since June, we’ve done far more than share nice renderings 🎨➡️🚄 We grew the team 🤝, built a strong Early Bird community 🐣, and turned an idea into something real with one goal: Getting a train onto the tracks as soon as possible 🚆 2026, here we come 🚀🌙

Let’s be honest getting work done on a plane is NOT ideal. Cramped seats, tiny tables, endless waiting for security & boarding… you never get much done 😒 With Nox, you’ll have a private cabin to work (or relax 😎) and actually make the most of your trip!

30% of women don’t feel safe on night trains. Women-only compartments exist, but as soon as you step out for the bathroom and you’re back with strangers At Nox, we go further: 👉 Women-only coaches on every train. Safety and peace of mind aren’t optional they’re standard 🚆

« Trains are always delayed anyway » 😒 
« Good luck with German rail » 😈 We hear this a lot. But here’s why night trains like Nox play by completely different rules… 🧵👇

Even if we depart 1h late at night…
…we can still roll into your morning destination on time ✅🚆 Of course, we will be late sometimes, but by having no commercial stops during the night and extra time in the timetable, we’re increasing our chances to be on time upon arrival!

At Nox, we see the night as our best ally!🌙 We have extra hours to get you to your destination and we don’t need to stop at various stations in between (no one wants to board a train at 02 in the morning), meaning we can handle the unexpected and still arrive on time in the morning!

But other night trains have the night too, right? Here, we’re taking reliability seriously, and this is why we will have: 
✅ No commercial stops from 23:00–06:30 
✅ Extra time in every timetable Increasing our flexibility in case of unexpected route closures and reliability to arrive on time ⏱️

« Trains are always delayed anyway » 😒 
« Good luck with German rail » 😈 We hear this a lot. But here’s why night trains like Nox play by completely different rules… 🧵👇

Unlike night trains, day trains run with a thin margin for error.
They need to get from A to B as fast as possible, make multiple stops, and hit the timetable exactly. One hiccup = delays, cancellations, chaos 💀

🐾 Pet owners, we hear you! 🐶🐱 Travelling with pets today is a struggle, that’s why Nox will welcome dogs & cats onboard 🚆💙 With private rooms, your furry friends can travel comfortably by your side. How can we make it even easier for you? 👇 Stay tuned for more… 👀

Next time you fly, try adding up the real cost of getting from A to B… it might surprise you 💸✈️ What did your last trip really cost? And how can we make night trains even better? 👇🚆

💵 Flight prices are based on Eurowings’ 2024 financial report. 🌍 Other prices are averages observed across multiple European cities and airports. 🚆 Night train prices with Nox will start at 79€ for a single room and 149€ for a double room!

“Why take a 12-hour train when I can fly in 1 hour?” ✈️ Because that “1-hour flight” is never just 1 hour. Airport trip, security, boarding, delays, ground transport… it’s 6+ hours door to door. ⏱️ Flying wastes your day.
Nox moves you while you sleep 😴

“Why aren’t you going to London, Lisbon, Bucharest, Tallinn…?” Fair question. When we published Nox, we got a lot of comments about where we’re going and where we’re not. Here’s a little thread on how we picked our routes 🧵👇

We know this might sound like excuses but it’s not. We’ll only launch routes when we know we can offer a smooth, reliable, and competitive experience from point A to B ✅ Otherwise, we’re just wasting your time (and money)

So here’s our message to the people in charge 👇 Improve your rail infrastructure 🛤️✅ Boost cross-border capacity🛤️✅ Make Europe faster, more reliable and more connected 🚆 🇪🇺 Give operators the chance to bring better trains to everyone! Our planet needs it 🌍 Thread off ✌️

Lisbon 🇵🇹 Vilnius 🇱🇹Tallinn 🇪🇪… ? They use wider-gauge tracks, incompatible with European trains. Yes, there are plans to fix this (such as Rail Baltica) but progress is painfully slow. So we can’t plan around them (yet) ❌

Bucharest 🇷🇴 Sofia 🇧🇬 Zagreb 🇭🇷 Belgrade 🇷🇸 … ? We see real demand in this region but track quality is quite bad… That makes our trains too slow and unreliable to compete with flying ❌

First, we looked at flight data across Europe and picked the busiest city pairs ✈️ Then we checked the competition from other modes : 🚌, 🚗 , 🚄 🚆… But most importantly: we looked at the technical reality of running night trains! But let’s take a concrete example… 👇

Take London and the UK🇬🇧 We’d love to go (✈️ numbers are crazy 📈) but the Channel Tunnel and HS1 access charges are up to 50x higher than elsewhere in Europe. No capacity at St Pancras. And Brexit… didn’t help! Technically possible 🛠️✅ economically not 💰 ❌

We’re building Nox — a new generation of European night trains🌙🚆 And one question kept coming up as we talked to over 100 travelers and businesses… 🧐 Why are night trains so expensive? 💰 A thread …🧵

Night trains operations are also complex 😶‍🌫️ They often split or merge during the night! That needs more: trains drivers, station staff, shunting crew, onboard crews (working in multiple shift…)

Then there’s how night trains are built and operated. Most try to do everything at once: 💺 Seats 🛏️ Couchettes 🛌 Luxury sleepers And sometimes even a dining car 🍽️ But that mix kills efficiency ❌

Our research confirmed it ✅ A bed in a shared night train compartment often costs €100 or more and if you want privacy, feel free to book a private compartment but it’s usually much higher money💸 That’s just not competitive with flying ✈️ But why? 🧐
