Diploma Project
The Night Express

The Night Express challenges conventional boundaries and delves into how a re-imagined sleeper train concept can enhance our lives. In our fast-paced world, the significance of night trains has been overshadowed, forgetting that they were once a privilege rather than an ordeal. It’s time to decelerate and revisit the allure of night travel. While there is a growing demand for trains to compete with other modern modes of transportation, they need to provide a distinctive and enticing experience in return.
