Have just returned from a meeting and found your reply - the scope of your knowledge is breath-taking - thank you for the time and trouble you've taken to respond. I'll follow your lines of inquiry over the next day and let you know hoe it goes.

Yep - Vienna ... Venice: sheeesh. No wonder I've had trouble ...

And as to your response to my query: WOW.

Thank you very much for your quick reply and thank you for your information and the links. I've spent the last four days trying to understand trains in Eastern Europe and finally found this forum. 

Can I ask for your help and get some more advice?

Since I first posted the query, we have booked a hotel in Vienna for a night and have decided to catch a day train to Prague. Can you direct me to the on-line booking for the best way to do this? Any advice on best timing/seats/trains/anything?

We will also be catching an overnight train from Prague to Budapest later in the week. Are there different classes of sleepers for this, and can these be booked in advance? This year marks our 25th wedding anniversary and I've put enough money away to make it as special as possible, so again, I'd be most grateful if you have any advice on best timing/seats/trains/anything?

Does anyone have any experience of the only overnight sleeper connection from Venice to Prague - http://czech-transport.com/index.php?id=465 - buying tickets, waiting in Břeclav for the sleeper etc? Help - need to decide whether to stay overnight in Vienna and catch a train the next day or not.
