A new overnight sleeper train could take passengers from Scotland to various European cities under an exciting new proposal.
The rail network would to connect the UK to places such as Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Rome as a low-carbon alternative to flying.
Exciting plans have been proposed by Germany's Green party who want 40 sleeper services to connect cities and holiday resorts, including Edinburgh.
Some of the routes proposed by the party are Edinburgh to Paris, Berlin to Rome and Oslo to Prague.
The new German sleeper train will offer another interesting route: Glasgow or Edinburgh to Frankfurt.
The service, calling at London and Paris, is the most ambitious route, with the journey from Scotland to Germany taking approximately 14 hours.
Sleeper trains had been pushed towards extinction after low-cost carriers offered travellers a cheaper and quicker alternative via air.
Scotland currently operates an overnight train to London, with the Caledonian Sleeper allowing you to travel six days a week.
The new German train would mean the comeback of night-time services across the whole of Europe.
Lorna Slater, the Scottish Greens co-leader said: "See how cool the future can be?
"There's no need to go back to how things were, we can make things better."
President of Greens in the EU Parliament, Terry Reintke, tweeted: "What a dream. A night train from Frankfurt to Edinburgh."
