Honestly they need far greater economies of scale to drop the price to where it needs to be. They should be competing with a daytime fare and giving you a bed in exchange for having the ability to run the train slow.

That’s basically what we’re doing, since the capacity approaches that of day trains, the ticket costs should be similar.

The railcars can go 200km/h. It’s not super high speed, but pretty competitive in Germany at least.
