@madeindex - The arrival of additional operators is also leading to a gradual blurring of ‘train categories’ with these being increasingly adapted to national requirements (e.g. EuroCityExpress in Germany).
- Regional services are increasingly being upgraded to long-distance services (e.g. Interregio in Austria), whilst ‘genuine’ long-distance services are tending to concentrate on the main routes. National long-distance services to less populated regions are rather on the decline.

@madeindex - Night trains are very dynamic. For the Germany night diagram, I have to make significant adjustments to the timetable every year. And there are certainly other factors that don’t spring to mind right now. (6/6)

@larstransportworld Thank you for all the insight & detailed reply, also thank you for putting so much effort into your cards, they are beautiful :) If you had to say, in which countries in Europe (of the ones you are watching closely) is the network/coverage improving and in which getting worse?
