    I know the "how is this my life?" at the start was probably a throwaway comment, but I have an answer... because you've bloody grafted incredibly hard for years! You have the dream job and you absolutely deserve it!

    Im so glad you're doing TH-cam again. I can definitely grasp things better when they're in longhand. Thank you, that's a train journey that is definitely on the list to do now.

    Lovely positive review CHE! Great to see long form content again. Plenty of space for one, but I imagine it would be very intimate with 2 other people 😅

      I totally agree - not sure I could do it with 2 strangers!!!

    I’m actually planning to this route in the next few months, after buying an interrail pass while it was on sale (thanks to your heads up! 🙌🏼)
    Buzzing that you’ve released this, will definitely look into a private compartment. Also good to know that there’s still lots of snow in March ☃️

    Loved this video! So great you got a private cabin, looked soo cosy. I just got the Santa Claus Express Helsinki to Rovaniemi, but decided to go budget and book a "private seated compartment" instead of a sleeper. Wouldn't recommend 😂 the train was awesome though and I'd have loved it in a sleeper! Northern Europe in winter is so magic 😍

    Really enjoyed this. Sweden is a wonderful place to explore. Nattåget Norrland for £64 is a bargain. When I was a wild feral youth, a seat or couchette would've been fine, but am old now and need every bit of comfort I can afford.

    • @CheapHolidayExpert
      @CheapHolidayExpert  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I won't lie, I absolutely loved the couchette and the community it builds for your trip if you're on your own! The women in mine ended up being in the same hostel and we hung out for the next couple of days. Would deffo be my preference travelling there again!

    Nice video! It will be the same trains and roughly the same price levels with SJ as the operator 😊. The night train route Stockholm - Luleå/Narvik is procured by the swedish state and the locos and wagons used in the trains are rented to the operator from the Swedish Transport Administration

    • @CheapHolidayExpert
      @CheapHolidayExpert  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for the info!! I thought they would be the same trains too but when I checked SJ, they offered no seat options across the many, many dates I checked and so it really confused me... Especially as I've been on an SJ overnight train that was just that - no seats but couchettes and private compartments!! Here's hoping there's no big change as it was a lovely train!

    As an old fart im sat here with two kids crawling over me issuing demands. I always say to young people before you do anything stupid like settling down and having kids go travelling. See the world. It will make you a better person and you'll never regret it.
    Great video as always.

      The trip was last year but the prices are all current and the experience isn’t dated - well, until they CHANGED THE BLOODY OPERATOR 😆 maybe I need to go back and try to the SJ route now!!!
