The name Orient Express leaves the European timetable
node
EuroNight 469, by then a Strasbourg–Vienna sleeper with an Austrian sleeping car, two couchette cars and a seats car, makes its final run; from 13 December 2009 the name is gone from the timetables after 126 years. The reasons given are high-speed rail and low-cost air. The service ended; the Balkan and Alpine alignments it had used remained open and busy throughout.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
