I included in a trip plan an overnight train from Nice to Paris (for Tuesday, June 9). I saw Nice-Paris overnight in my 2008 rail guide (Route T5770, also on Euraide), but I can no longer find the route on DB & can't get it to come up on Rail Europe using close dates. Insight? I couldn't find anything online about it being discontinued.

The DB site shows that train running through 13 March. The SNCF site shows it running through 19 April. My guess is that it will be discontinued, the only question is on what date that will be. I assume the SNCF date is the one to go with. In any case, it looks like 9 June is out for sure.

Thanks so much for your help Tim! That's a bummer, but I'm glad I found out now.

It is also possible that you are just looking too far out. Night trains are sometimes dependent on the demand, so it might be extended out if the demand continues.

Rachel,
I just checked the SNCF site again. Now it shows the night train having service well into May (but not June). Maybe the demand has been great so service has been extended. You might want to keep checking to see if service in early June will show up in a week or two.
