I am trying to find the best deal for o/nite train leaving Oct 26th . The one I want is EN 237 Departing 8.40pm and arriving Venice 8.45 am. I am looking for a 2 bed sleeper for my husband and myself. Have been looking at the oebb.at website but when you go to check on prices it goes to german and I cannot read it. I feel like I keep going around in circles. We have not bought Austrian passes at this stage as I am still trying to find prices to work it out.
At this stage I would appreciate any help. I am in Australia.
regards,
Jenny

If you phone the Austrian Rail Call Center far enough in advance, you can get a SparSchiene fare of €99 for a bed in a two-person sleeper. See here. Dial your country's international access code + 43 (country code for Austria) + (0)5-1717. Omit the zero in parentheses. It is only used for calls originating in Austria.

Thank you Tim.
I phoned them last night and bought tickets for 109 Euros. The female was lovely and spoke fairly good english so between us we got there. I think it is it good value to what I was being offered back home here.
