sleeper train
Night rail journey
A sleeper train is a passenger train equipped with sleeping accommodations for overnight journeys.
Passengers book berths, compartments, or private cabins rather than regular seats: We took the sleeper train from Paris to Venice.
The term distinguishes these services from ordinary trains where passengers sit upright through the night.
