cars for accommodating sleep services. Nearly all EuroNight trains require reservations and additional fare supplements in addition to the regular cost of a ticket from the destination to the arrival point. These supplements vary in price depending on whether the traveler wishes to sit in a regular seat, a couchette "lying bed", which offers a padded, felt bed with a blanket and small pillow, or a sleeping bed
, which allows a mattress bed with full bedding (sheets, comforters, pillows).

Nearly all EuroNight services are international and jointly operated by national rail companies sharing cars on a route. EN trains are the standard night-train service for Western and most Central European nations. They are distinct from the older D-Nacht services, many of which still operate in Central and Eastern Europe. EN trains have criteria that rail companies must match in order to receive EN designation; the numbering format is EN 999; many routes also have accompanying names derived in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Operating carriers

The following carriers currently have designated cars and

train conductors who work the EN lines. Many railway companies share cars on the same train line between routes; for example, EN 235 between Vienna and Rome share cars of both the ÖBB and Trenitalia
