ABSTRACT
The Amsterdam-Avignon train still runs once weekly, but makes an additional journey from Avignon via Bressoux to Düsseldorf and back. No sleepers are detached at Bressoux; instead there is an S.N.C.B. couchette car service, all of which are Wagons-Lits operated since 1961. Unfortunately British Railways, the inventors of car sleepers, are so painfully slow to create new services for which no traffic statistics exist, that there are as yet no car sleepers from Dover or Harwich to Fishguard through the Severn Tunnel, or to Speke airport for the Irish car tourist trade.
