"The night train between Paris and Berlin will be discontinued just two years after its launch when the timetable changes in mid-December. This was announced on Monday by Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), which operated the service.
The reason is the lack of financial support from the French Ministry of Transport from 2026 onwards. France does not want to continue paying the “state service orders” – i.e. subsidies – which, according to information from Paris, amount to around 10 million euros per year. ...
In addition to the Berlin-Paris night train service, the night train between Paris and Vienna via Munich is also affected by the savings and will also be discontinued. The night train service from Berlin to Paris had only been in operation for just under two years, while the service from Vienna to Paris had been running since 2021. ÖBB stated that it regretted the discontinuation of the two night train services.
But there is also good news for travelers between the two capitals: according to the new train schedule, the daily ICE connection will be adjusted and the travel time shortened from mid-December. In the future, trains will run via Halle (Saale), reducing travel time by 20 minutes. This means that travel time will be less than eight hours for the first time.
According to information from the French SNCF, train number 9590 will depart from Berlin Central Station at 7:05 a.m. and arrive at Paris-Est at 2:51 p.m. In the opposite direction, train number 9591 will depart from Paris-Est at 11:07 a.m. and arrive in Berlin at 6:54 p.m.."
