🚆 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 🚀🌙
Hey Early Birds, check out your inbox… we have something cool for you 👀
From 79€ for a single room and 149€ for a double.
So yes 🙌
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 🚆
That’s why we believe Nox can be one of the most reliable modes of transportation in Europe. Ever!
The night isn’t a limitation, it’s our superpower 💪🌙
Thread off 🧵
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!
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 ⏱️
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!
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 💀
« 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… 🧵👇
🐾 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… 👀
No showers in our trains 🚆
💵 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!
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? 👇🚆
“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 😴
More questions ?
Feel free to comments 👇
When we published Nox, we received a lot of questions about families 🧑🧑🧒🧒
Here’s the answer for families who want to travel on our trains in the future 🚆👇
If you want to get as much passenger as possible, you need daily services. So this is the goal 🙏
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 ✌️
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)
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 ❌
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) ❌
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 💰 ❌
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… 👇
