That was Doris, who had lived somewhere in Skåne until her original human died, was estimated to have been 8yo, and who the rescue website said couldn’t go to a home with other pets or children. Five years on, she has made a home here.

I’m hoping that other railways end up copying the concept as well. <br/><br/>(We probably can’t expect SJ to overhaul their Stockholm-Berlin sleepers any time soon, and I suspect that expecting Transport For New South Wales to correct their oversight of not ordering sleeper carriages by ordering some of these is too big an ask for the Lucky Country whose motto is “she’ll be right, mate”, but one can wish.) 9/9 2025-04-01T10:29:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstzspy4gd98gfg22k65u8s7awjcwgthv54ann2k2vsw9nd578rl5czyrc53f8qtwwku3d8c8lvg6kwncu9ygva0dhfpvyx04vjmvhz6g76vv7m7t8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0d74xhwnl8vku02wrkpku9tyu6n8y6sjl5uaw7l34esgs074qykgeffscx'>nevent1q…fscx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>All in all, I would highly rate the ÖBB NightJet mini-cabin. It was one of the best nights’ sleep I’ve had on a train, and on a par with the handful of times I’ve had a multi-person compartment to myself. Amazingly enough, it is positioned as an economy-class product (first-class is still full-sized multi-bunk compartments). 8/ 2025-04-01T10:25:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0d74xhwnl8vku02wrkpku9tyu6n8y6sjl5uaw7l34esgs074qykgzyrc53f8qtwwku3d8c8lvg6kwncu9ygva0dhfpvyx04vjmvhz6g76v9schgm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrlt3pdnzlad94yfkahjgumgw86d89qtyemm995vx0txlyeu4u45g6tcswn'>nevent1q…cswn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My subjective impression of the journey: it was very comfortable. I slept solidly for most of the night, briefly waking once or twice but going back to sleep, and got a solid 7 hours of sleep — a rarity in shared couchette compartments.<br/><br/>The only downside was that at one points the lights suddenly came on; I’m guessing this was a result of the train being split/changing locomotives and the lighting control system resetting. Not sure if this is a regular occurrence. 7/ 2025-04-01T10:17:33Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrlt3pdnzlad94yfkahjgumgw86d89qtyemm995vx0txlyeu4u45gzyrc53f8qtwwku3d8c8lvg6kwncu9ygva0dhfpvyx04vjmvhz6g76v65uj70 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswslvxfapwkjxw23xy57g5k0q8c0j5gey9zxs84mwgywgc0azc6ascwgs0r'>nevent1q…gs0r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There is enough space in the compartment to comfortably lie down/sit up (it’s fairly long, at the cost of a narrow corridor), though not for storing your things. For that, each compartment comes with two lockers on the stairs: a larger one that holds an average backpack, and a smaller one for shoes.<br/><br/>But what about larger luggage, you wonder? A few carriages down, there is a large luggage area, with cable locks that can be locked using the access card that also opens your pod and lockers. 6/<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/262/168/881/603/982/original/bb39d25bd685550b.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/262/169/492/834/749/original/d7ef5cf7c95ce78b.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-04-01T10:12:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswslvxfapwkjxw23xy57g5k0q8c0j5gey9zxs84mwgywgc0azc6aszyrc53f8qtwwku3d8c8lvg6kwncu9ygva0dhfpvyx04vjmvhz6g76vxjvr0l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw0ltr64a0x3q4watn6c9uag4fvqptyxuva8tugc77gvh0xngattgff85zv'>nevent1q…85zv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There is a control panel in the room.
