A friend asked me today if trains still have the sleeper cars with the bunk type bed. Anyone know?

Question

I know they still feature compartment-type sleeping cars.

Answer 1

Yes, here's Wikipedia's take: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_car

Answer 2

Yes, they have the compartment option on the Rail throughout Europe. Worth the money if you're spending 10+ hours going cross continent.

Answer 3

Yup. If you travel from Singapore (in South East Asia) to Malaysia, you could experience sleeping in the bunkbed style trains. This service is provided by the only railway company, KTM. (Kereta Tanah Melayu) It is owned by the malaysian govenment. Its the fare are quite cheap. But this beds are only offerred during night journeys.

Answer 4

I traveled overnight in Thailand on a train from Bangkok to Southern Thaland on my way to Phuket and it was a bunk type bed. Also on my trip from Copenhagen to Stockholm it was a bunk type bed.

Answer 5

It probably depends on where you are. Check this site from Amtrak in the United States to see if its what you mean:

Here is a site about sleepers in Europe where a couchette seems to be 4 bunks:

Answer 6

I'm not sure-that's kinda old fashioned now. I imagine they might still have those, but most "newer" trains might have a regular bed and not bunks.
