Dreamlike, passing through Stockholm and the gorgeous Swedish countryside. The magic of the night, and the power of trains.
The Öresund bridge (and tunnel) was opened in 2000, not 1999. I know because I was there. :) One among the first 50 or so cars to cross from Denmark to Sweden.
I love the natural wood accents and furnishings in Swedish train cars.
Nice feature with the early boarding and late exit from sleeping cars.
Sweden is Tops. The Railway stations, Roadways, city or village roads are clean and neatly maintained round the year. The woodwork inside the trains are very impressive. Quality of life is super, taxes are high. 👍
Wellfare costs. Emigrants costs
Took this train back in 2019 when international travel was a freely available thing. An enjoyable experience! Hope to travel this way again soon.
I did go first class night train Oslo-Stockholm quite a lot when I loved in Oslo in the 90's. Everything looks exactly the same, same exact style, same exact beds, but I have no memory of showers, so I guess that's new.
Yes you are right, Indian Railways do have, non air-conditioned coaches, but most short haul(less than 8 hours) and long haul(more than 8 hours) trains have mix of both air-conditioned and non air-conditioned coach . In many premium trains all the coaches are air conditioned and have different classes , however none have a manual control for aircon, and controls are just limited to adjusting the direction of airflow or completely shut it off. Nevertheless, personal bathroom or shower are not present even in the first class coaches here.
Then, there are some uber luxury trains, those have all the amenities and luxuries than one can expect to find in a 5star hotel accommodation. These trains, however are way expensive as per Indians and thus are mostly targeted towards foreigners who wish to see India via the rail route which is just an awesome experience and should be in a train enthusiast's bucklist.
Ever travelled in first class?? They do have showers
@@sreevatsan2340 not all first class have showers, not all Rajdhanis and Durontos have showers and also trains having ICF rakes don't have showers.
Thanks for this nice trip on sweden's train love from morroco
I believe the included breakfast is only when you're in sleeper, not in couchette. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to check it out last time, I had a bunch of tight connections to get to Brussels, that day, and took the first Öresundstag to Copenhagen. The sleeper trains to the North do have a café on board for breakfast, but I agree, for Malmö, the hotel breakfast is perfect, you don't have to get up to eat at silly o'clock to be done before you arrive, it gives you a bit more time for the city to wake up if you have business in Malmö, and the choice does seem good. Even when it's not complimentary, I think I'll start doing this more often, just book a breakfast at a hotel near the station.
Breakfast is included in first class sleeper tickets only - not in second class sleeper or couchette. (As the announcement on the train correctly stated...)
On SJ night trains to/from the north you usually have the choice of eating vour complimentary breakfast in the train bistro or at a hotell - the later is usually the best choise. I don´t know how it works on the "Far North" (Umeå/Luleå/kriuna/Narvik) now when the norwegians have taken over the service, I try to avoid traveling with that company...
@@tompao7832 could you explain why you don't like VY? I mean, apart from the stupid name? And while VY has taken over some services in Sweden, SJ has taken over some services in Norway, too. Quite a bummer for me with a railway employee discount with VY, tbh.
@@barvdw I travelled with Vy this summer from Uppsala to Abisko. Delays, delays, delays. And the food was honestly sub par. Some time in the night the switched the bistro as well so there was no breakfast menu in the morning in Abisko :( Vy has a bad rep here
Great video. I like your videos because are detailed and very well edited. Is like watching a documentary but with details which for me as a train enthusiast are very well documented and is something I am interested. So a perfect mix, details and cinematics, a perfect mix for me.
I like the SJ BOBO ASEA locomotives :D
A nicely detailed report with high-quality video. The first-class accommodations looked good enough, though you commented that they were not very clean. I'm surprised that the other cars were not air conditioned, and I would not be keen to share a six-berth cabin with five strangers!
40+ year old cars, they were renovated between 15-25 years ago but hopefully when they do make the next big upgrade they will install aircondition in those who didn't got it then 🙂
Having travelled many times both with and without AC in sleeping cars between Stockholm and Malmö, I've never felt the need. Heating is crucial, cooling less so.
Windows that can be opened, on the other hand, *_that's_* a bonus worth paying for, particularly if bad luck strikes and the electricity is lost.
Interesting video, thanks for sharing!!! 👍 👍 👍
Very good video. I love scandinavian trains.
How refreshing to see a discreet carriage livery with some design integrity - rather than the meaningless swoops and swirls of colour popular nowadays on UK trains. . . . because some people think it 'looks modern.'
All of those ghastly liveries are chosen by committees of executives who see liveries as a part of corporate branding so of course most of them end up looking like PowerPoint slide designs you'd see in a corporate meeting. The liveries on First trains last decade were the absolute worst.
@@Trainzfan21century I totally agree with you!
Beautifully shot all the necessary details and displaying information on the way... very informative and enjoyable..thank you very brother...
Interesting train ride. Travelling by train at night is not in my play book. The price for the private cabin IMO is a waste of money. Seeing the scenery during daylight hours is why I come to Europe.
Nice journey 🌹🌹
Good to hear you use 'Journey' by Tim Schaufert again. Lovely video too.
GRANDE SVEZIA.
I’ve been on that train, in that kind of cabin, many times.
lucky you!
Great video !!
It's really impressive that SJ can make any profit from this train, considering the journey time between Malmö and Stockholm is 4 hours and 30 minutes if you travel during the day AND is operated by low-budget trains such as Snälltåget. Here in Denmark we no longer have a sleeper train between Copenhagen and Aalborg/Frederikshavn, because DSB claims the journey is too short (5 to 6 hours).
The cruise between Stockholm and Helsinki is too short, so they stay still somewhere at sea for a few hours. Travelling while you sleep is so convenient, I think they could leave the train on a side track for 3-4 hours to let people sleep.
@@jollyjoker6340 WoW! I took the cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm in 2012 and had not idea that the ship stopped at sea to kill time. Very interesting. Thank you Jolly Joker:)
You mean SL right
Of course you doooo. Tax money
I actually think it’s great. A 4 hr journey is too long if you have a morning meeting so taking a sleeper train is perfect. I’ve done it many times
Living in Jämtland, traveling on these trains has become quite common, although I tend to book other options during the pandemic, like flying with SAS or high-speed/intercity trains.
This is amazing!
Amazing video!
Great video💛
The first time I traveled on an air-conditioned train, I caught a serious bad cold. We, young people on the Interrail tour, coped better with the normal summer weather than with the frosty temperatures on the trains.- Heinz
You don't get a cold from the temperature. Being in close quarters with a bunch of other people is how you got it.
@@carlost856 Uhm no? AC gives a lot of people a stuffy nose and a sore throat, especially if there's a draft.
@@Fanniiiy No, cold temp or draft is a long time myth. You dont get sick by cold wether, the cold can activate an already ongoing cold in your body. Without the cold/draft you would eventually be sick anyway. But its not the cold that makes you sick.
@@robertniwong3907 Of course it's not the cold making you sick, I live in Sweden I know. I'm saying it's the draft....
@@carlost856 I suspect Heinz is German. They have this folkloric belief about A/C "Die Luft, Die Luft", My mother would scream. It is regardless of education. My German mother was a PhD in Physics, no reasoning with a Prussian. Ever been on the Berlin U bahn in August It smells like a hamper full of dirty socks.
Super! Pozdrawiam 👍501
3:49 Snälltåget also has a night train to Storlien at 23:15 so there were in fact 5 night trains departing that night
And they have services to Hamburg and Berlin 😁
Was the line to Storlien even open last summer?
@@tamar597 yes I know! I would really like to ride that train some day, in fact, I might actually do it next summer!
@@doc7austin I would think so because that’s what it says on the departure board. But if you mean last summer, as in summer 2020 I think they did because they’ve probably been running trains there since 2007
@@doc7austin there will also be a night train from Malmö to the Austrian alps in February-late March 2022, so I guess that’s an idea for a video but the tickets are selling fast
Nice video
Lovely
Ac is usually a non issue in Sweden. I’m more concerned about my train having good heating rather than good cooling
Try travelling right now through Sweden without AC, it was over 30 degrees today, but most of the year, I'd agree with ya.
I want to see more here!
Nice one 👍
When the weather is nice Florida is the perfect place. Other times, maybe not.
I dont think they need AC in Sweden, just heating! (I have been there). Cheers from Australia.
Many years, there are a few weeks in the summer, when AC is good to have in cars like these.
And the number of weeks tend to increase. So, for new rolling stock, I can't imagine they forget AC. But the cars built in the 1960s and 1980s, they were never considered in need of such luxuries.
If necessary, the window was there to be opened.
Anything above 25C is too hot for me so AC is great in the summer.
You're quite right! Summer temps rarely exceed 30C, so there are few times AC is really needed. Winter temps below -20C are however more frequent; no one wants to freeze. Right?
Meanwhile in Malaysia Non AC travel classes are a thing of the past except for the Sabah State Railway where there are Second Class AC and Third Class Non AC coaches. On KTMB’s service all are AC travel classes, such as ADNS, AFC and ASC as well as the entire ETS service
Sweden is not as hot as Malaysia.
You're not passing Old Town, it's to the left, you passing Riddarholmen connecting to the Old Town with a bridge you passing under. You're not passing over Hammarby channel, it's more to the left, you passing over Årstaviken (Aarstaviken and Flemmingsberg is the beginning of the Grödingebanan to Södertälje.
Train Vlogs without face are nice. Some people are shy (like me) to face the camera and chat blah blah...... 😃. These trains are same as in India but this train is carrying very few passengers I think.
Best wishes 👍💐
One of your best recent videos!
You NEED minimize your wind noise on some of your stuff….
Need to
Really nice video. But I discovered ONE mistake. The Öresund Bridge opened on 1 July 2000, not in 1999 😉.
Their trains are riding on the left track!
Just nitpicking: The train number is not D001 or NT 001 - it is just number one (1)!
(I think DB website use the D001 designation...)
It's strange this type of sleeping train still exits in 2021. From Stockholm to Copenhagen, the distance is less than 700KM. It's 2 hour trip for normal train.
700 km... trains in Sweden has a top speed at 200 km/h and a few stops for travellers to get on and off. You do the math 🙃
Nice sleeping car. I wonder why they didn't make the cars with bigger windows and on both sides so you can have a better view? Also forward seating. Nice breakfast. Should have the train go further to Copenhagen. I watched Simply Railway video before yours. I would love to go on this trip.
If you want to sleep you don't want light in the cabin. The poster made the mistake of not closing the curtains properly and woke up at dawn around 2 o'clock at night.
Traveled with it several times. Once, I was some seconds late to push off the morning call button, the conductor just opened the door and shout at me. 🙄 How can they just unlock the door without asking? BTW, I was traveling with first class.
You didn't get much sleep, you poor thing! :-o
It wierd that SJ cannot figure out the technicalities to get a sleeper train over to kbh. But a private company have made a sleeper train from S
Stocholm to Berlin that runs trough Denmark.
The difference is that the coaches that Snälltåget uses are standard UIC coaches bought from Germany. The coaches that SJ uses on the Malmö-Stockholm sleeper are built for Swedish standards, which means they are much wider than UIC coaches. Back when SJ still had daily sleeper trains to Copenhagen, they had to use the old "slam door" sleepers because the new sleepers were so wide that the sliding doors would scrape the platforms at Copenhagen Central Station. For the same reason SJ never used their newer seating coaches on the daytime services to Denmark. These were all operated with old 1960's coaches with non-automatic doors.
Kast no quier progresó!!
Indian Railway is now going all ac classes eliminating non-ac sleeper classes. Few coaches are already rolled out but transforming entire railway will take some time.
It’s a nice trip specially the view of the Baltic. But, You don’t eat anything during those seven hours? Or you can take snacks into the train?
It is to hereby inform you that the DV list of WB PSC Clerkship exam will not going to published in the month of November 2021.
I'm surprised some Swedish rail cars are not air-conditioned. Do trains use Head-End power (HEP)?
"Doc7Austin"?
How much would you say that It all cost?
All the different train rides all the way all together.
The food, entrance fees to everything you visited and so on..
Thank You and Great video!! //Richie.
1600 SEK, it's very expensive for such conditions.
I like the fact that you can come on the train a lot before departure, and leave 1.5 hours after arrival, which significantly extends sleep.
The first class sleepers mainly caters for the business trade, and then 1600 SEK is NOT expensive. If you have a business meeting in Malmö (or Stockholm) starting att say 8:30, the alternative is to take an evening flight and stay the night at a hotell. That will probarbly cost you the double amount!
@@tompao7832 I've noticed that day trains are often not much cheaper, too, even in sleeper. While you can get to Malmö with the first day train before 10, you have to leave at 5:20 already. The sleeper arrives early enough in Malmö, but that's still at least an hour more sleep. Yeah, I'd take the night train as well.
I mean this really is the premium class for the business people first and foremost. Your average joe would, if needed to take the night train, likely be in Couchette class or the 2nd class sleeper class instead, both of whuch are lower in price compared to similar products by other night train operators in Western Europe like ÖBB Nightjet and Snälltåget
Nice video! Again! One question, who made the sleeper cars?
At around 23:20 he gives you the info
SAAB Kockums in Malmö
Thanks for the info. I like the outside of these sleeping cars.
Maybe you know the information SJ will rent cars for the upcoming night train to Hamburg. The swedish cars are too wide for the continent.
Great video but:
The shots of CPH must've been taken the next day or another day because your train from Malmö arrived at 08:54 yet, according to all the station clocks, you were in CPH around 07:45.
the stockholm-malmo train arrived at 06:14
@@doc7austin no the airport footage
What are the technical problems preventing the night train from extending to Copenhagen Central?
Denmark uses different voltage on the powerline, they use 25KV 50HZ while Sweden runs on 16KV 16 2/3HZ Most trains in sweden only run at 16KV so it wouldn't work to pass over with those. Öresundståget however which commutes between Denmark and Sweden runs on both systems.
How old is that locomotive? I know they basically renoveated it from the round up, but looks elderly.
1987 (AESA Hagalund)
Like he said 1987, though this is of the 6th iteration of the series hence the name RC6. The locomotive series had been in production ever since 1967 with the RC1
@@doc7austin Not AESA - correct name is ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget).
It looks like you were the only passenger
Does the regional train from Malmö go to Copenhagen Central?
yes
Who came up with the idea, to paint them boring grey, and then black, when Sweden got the most beautifull looking nighttrains in the world, when they were lightblue and grey? Sometimes, its just the wrong people making the decisions. Thats my opinion. But i stll love Sweedish trains anyway.
👍🏻
Is it still daylight in Sweden at 22:00?
yes, its light at this time during the summer period
I disagree with your advice about interrail, I suppose it is possible to buy a sleeping car supplement for the train with a global pass.
well, the problem is that these interail supplements are limited in their supply; a train may still have a free seat or free berth, but the railway company is only willing to sell this seat/berth as a full-price ticket, hence, no availability for interrail passholders
did you need a covid pass to eat in the hotel at morning?
this is sweden - the pandemic is officially over there
@@doc7austin yes healthy stuff, godt at møde dig. farvel
Actually taxiing is not the right term for locomotive or train rake movement, shunting is the correct word for it.
Hot coffee and tea or a samovar should be mandatory on night trains.
try going north of stockholm and u will change ur opinion
What is the maximum speed for this train?
160km/h
@@doc7austin Thank you
Why doesn't Sweden run X2000 between Copenhagen and Oslo?
Why don't you mention ticket charge of one passenger
EUR 158 - that was the global price for this ticket

Surprising how grubby the trains looked inside and out
Yeah. I see that it is only in Japan where the concept of comfort exists. and not only that, that of the harmony of respect and the search for beauty. we should be inspired by it, it's not more expensive, you just have to make an effort and get out of Calvinism

The Saltsjöbaden is very disgusting. Most trains are so old, I wonder why they are still under service. It is a bit lik in East Europe.
Is there a better bath/beach near Stockholm?
Old, or vintage? I quite like them, and people pay money to take an older train. Too bad last time I was there, they weren't running (due to maintenance and the big remodelling at Slussen, which will continue until 2026).
@@doc7austin There are many beaches in/around Stockholm - Smedudden is a close walk from Fridhemsplan or Torildsplan metro station. And that is in the city! Going a bit further out there are many more. But I don´t think Saltsjöbaden was a bad choice....
Do you mean the area of Saltsjöbaden or SALTSJÖBANAN - the railway?
The reason for the old trains on SALTSJÖBANAN is that the plan was to converted into a light rail line as a part of Tvärbanan, but then things changed. So now it seams that SL don´t really know what to do with the line...
