PRESTIGE RETURNS TO OVERNIGHT TRAVEL - A three-tier service of international overnight trains proposed by the UIC is set to re-awaken Europe's longdistance travel market, which has been slumbering in graceful decline. Reinhard Chris-teller looks at the rolling stock concepts being drawn up to attract tomorrow's passengers
JOINT VENTURE TO EXPLOIT TUNNEL NIGHT STOCK - In February four railways authorised GEC Alsthom to start work on building 139 coaches for overnight services between Britain and the Continent. The first overnight trains
RATIONAL SPENDING ON SAFETY BRINGS RESULTS - In a survey of European rail safety, Richard Hope believes that the right way to improve rail's already low accident record is to apply value-for-money criteria to a rigorous analysis of failure probabilities, based on hard statistical evidence through the Channel Tunnel should start running at the end of 1994
GRANDE COURONNE GOES DOUBLE-DECK - Main line comfort standards have been applied to a fleet of V2N push-pull double-deck stock being launched this summer by SNCF on short-haul inter-city runs from Paris
STANDARD TWINS TO TAKE OVER CALTRANS ROUTES - The first 88 double-deck coaches in a planned fleet of over 300 to operate commuter and inter-city services in California have been ordered from Morrison Knudsen

LONDONERS TO RIDE HIGH-TECH TUBE STOCK - Chopper control of separately-excited motors on every axle allows regenerative braking of 85 eight-car trains destined for London's Central line. As well as setting higher standards for comfort and performance, the stringent fire standards make these perhaps the safest metro trains ever built
