• Bigger popularity during season like increased passenger traffic (including holidays and winter holidays).

• Lack of sufficient places on night trains, especially in wagons with places to rest/sleep.

• From December 10, 2017, as part of the pilot program, electric multiple units have been designed for servicing night connections.

• Expensive tickets for sleeping carriage. Passengers would like couchettes.
