No face, no talking, no music, just pure railway romanticism. And many frames a perfect photo, worthy of putting at a wall. Thats what makes your creations standing out.
There is something about this film, the way it has been made and edited which I really love. Brilliantly done, yet not too polished. The train and its environment is fascinating and just reinforces my growing desire to travel again and by train. In the EU and UK, we are very lucky to have such good railways overall compared to other parts of the world and all we seem to do is complain about them. Yet when they are not running or we cannot travel such as during the Covid19 lock downs, we miss them. So this is a touching film on so many levels, of an interesting train.
One of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube, informative, helpful, entertaining andas others have said no bloody musik to spoil it, Well done and thank you.
When i was going to ride on this train from Malmö to Berlin I watched this video and it was very enjoyable and there for you made my trip way more excited, very nice content man👍
A journey to remember for days to come. This perhaps is a masterpiece after your journey through Siberia. Of late your vlogs were getting a little ordinary, but this one stands out as a unique train experience.
Ecellent explanations guiding us all the way to Stockholm,no musid,I love the noise of the train it's a bit like if we were on it!This is a very nice video....Bonjour a tous de la Ville de Québec au Canada!
Love the style of filming and editing you do it your own way...not like many others do it. And you been to Stockholm a lot of times. That's worth a sub 👍😎🇸🇪
Another perfect travelogue. Thankfully I’ve already travelled on a return journey from Stockholm to Alvesta so I know it’s far more beautiful a ride than you suggest!
This is a dreamride for nostalgic railway lovers and beautiful presented. What a pity that style and service have gone in european railway traveling, but on the other hand no one's willing to pay what it would cost to have proper sleeping and dinner cars on a train like this. But anyway, a great presentation of a wonderful journey with many, many useful informations. Thank you very much 💐
Two things: Departure from Gesundbrunnen + the journey via the Außenring was due to construction work at Spandau.. And 112 166 is not a DB loco, it's owned by WFL since May '20
Small note: the Tunnel under Øresund wasnt just built to accommodate the flights out of Kastrup Airport but also to allow ship traffic to pass through that couldnt pass under the bridge part
It used to be a novelty taking the train and seeing the carriages being loaded on the ferry at Nyborg before the bridge was built! Progress. Nice journey!
Yeah, I remember the sleeper service from Copenhagen to Frederikshavn. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't prevent the passengers from waking up and nearly falling out of their bunks during the shunting manoeuvres in Korsør and Nyborg. But the ferry ride itself was very nice.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm thinking about taking the same journey in the opposite direction! You have given me something to think about. Maybe I'll add an overnight in Copenhagen or Hamburg....
Excellent video! It gave us an accurate sense of what the trip was like. Thanks for not having music. And for not having to speak to us. Well done. FYI. Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. (And they've counted them.) :-)
I watched the entire video at my first visit to your channel. I reckon you're a heck of a tuber! Nice film, thank you sir! Edit: 55:25 that's where I live, cheers and nice to meet you!
Great video! Very well done! Very much appreciated. However, advert interruptions every 5 minutes or so really disrupts the flow and positive experience when watching this.
Nice video. Just know though it was after 2019 that the journey got rerouted via Jutland due to the ferry service stopping. This year is the first since 2014 where we've had ANY night trains going through, let alone stopping in Denmark at all, apart from a few specialty charter trains organized by a Swedish Newspaper. Also all I can tell you is that those 10+ years of German bureaucracy were added into the time table. The original planned opening date of the fixed link (which was planned to be a bridge at the time) was 2018. And now its 2021 and they've only just now started preperatory work on the area that is to be the home of the tunnel. And I agree with you, they should make the train stop at the Copenhagen Airport. I mean that station is also much closer to downtown Copenhagen than Høje Taastrup is which has the unfortunality of being located on the very edge of the western suburbs in an area full of ghettos dotted along the railway which have only become more dangerous following the migrant crisis.
@@jmolofsson Capacity constraints. It's a very busy station and the passenger train capacity is getting an attempt at rectifying in a few years with the construction of additional passenger platforms where the freight bypass currently sits. But even then Ny ellebjerg might be the better candidate for a stop close to downtown Copenhagen once the platforms there are finished in like 2023 or 24
ALL your Trip Reports are FANTASTIC!👏👍 Next weekend I'll try the PKP Intercity from Berlin to Gdansk via Poznan and the IC Premium in 1st class from Gdansk to Warsaw!😜
Great footage of a train I was supposed to be travelling on this summer, but being from the UK we are banned from going anywhere. We can fly directly to some countries, but doing what I would normally do, travelling by rail from the UK to all over Europe is impossible now. We left the EU, we got covid19. Now i am paying a heavy price by not having the freedom to just go by train when and where I want. I have over €1500 in vouchers that I don't think I will be able to use. So for now, I can only see my railway from my sofa.
It seems to me a quite negative review of this train. Anyway, at the time of the good old Hamburg-Stockholm nighttrain, with couchettes and sleeping cars, the travel between the two cities took 14 hours, and on board of two ferries (Puttgarden-Rodby and Helsingor-Helsingborg). Now, with bridges and tunnels, a so long travel and for a so expensive price.
The journey between Hamburg, Padborg and Copenhagen does actually not take longer than the old train-ferry connection via Puttgarden and Rødby. The international day trains that are using this route currently have the exact same travel time as they had on the previous one. The problem is that Snälltåget wants to serve danish passengers, which means they need to lower the speed and eat up time at the border in order for the danish passengers to sleep. The old Hamburg-Stockholm train did not have any scheduled stops in Denmark, so it didn't matter that the train passed through Copenhagen at 3 AM.
A true Hamburg - Stockholm night train is returning in a few years, some say even next year! The Swedish transport authority Trafikverket will finance it, the operator is not known yet.
@@markoobid2005 I think this can be connected to first smoothly finishing the 4-track segment between Malmö and Lund, then upgrading Lund - Hässleholm to allow higher speed.
@@doc7austin Exactly. Snälltåget should either cancel the stop in Hamburg or in both Copenhagen/Høje Taastrup and Malmö - but I don't know if any of these possibilities makes sense business-wise (remember, Snälltåget is not goverment-backed).
I hope this is just the beginning for the return of the trains in Europe. I also do hope it will be much cheaper because now you can find much cheaper tickets with planes.. Trains are not just for rich bitches!
After a ride from Berlin to Hässleholm I just have to note that this trip took 15 hours. In Germany we had to wait alot of times for other trains which had the right to overtake us. The train should be better prioritised especially for the German network. In terms of comfort I can recommend this train.
11:18 We also have a high speed line equipped with the LZB cable system in spain, the Madrid-Seville line which was the first to open, but it's being replaced with the more up-to-date ETCS system soon. I'm surprised to see that Germany keeps using so much LZB
These cars are a step up compared to the old danish couchettes that were used on the Malmö-Berlin trains before, but they are nowhere near the quality of the swedish 60's couchettes that are used on the domestic night trains.
Very nice video of very nice rail track, but I have to tell you one thing: Sweden is not The Land of 1000 lakes, that is Finland :) Sweden is The Elongated Coutry :) Have a nice day.
Very nice video. Seems that the train isn't as convenient if one is taking it all the way from Berlin, the trip was insanely slow! From Hamburg makes sense if going to Malmö or Stockholm. I wonder why the Danish stop exists at all, it seems to be just very inconvenient, the stop in Copenhagen central station or at least the airport would have been much more useful. The lack of AC in some cars seems unacceptable, specially for a train that runs mainly on summer
The station at Copenhagen Airport is vastly underdimensioned, with the frequent regional/öresund-trains and Danish intercity-trains, there simply isn't track-space for a night-train having to wait long time for people to board/unboard. Copenhagen Central is also nearing its capacity limit, and the train would have to reverse driving direction - complicated for a loco-hauled train. All together, Høje Taastrup is clearly the best solution, there is space and time for a long stop and it is only 15 min. with regional train from the central station.
Excellent video. We are planning a trip to Europe in 2022 and I want to take this tain journey. I am appalled at the non-working air conditioning and poor cleaning. Thank you for this insight.
53:10 wow I had no idea mechanical semaphores are still being used, especially on the Södra Stambanan which is one of the most used rail lines in the country (and I’m a train guy from Sweden!)
@@jmolofsson yes you’re right. I was genuinely surprised so I looked into it and then I realized it was a mistake. I don’t know that much about which signals are being used so I thought there might still be a slight chance. I think the British still use them on some non-heritage lines
the line between Hamburg and Flensburg was electrified even later until 1996 and only because Schleswig Holstein paid a fortune towards the total costs of 500m DM
Beautifully photographed! May I suggest, though, that you get an external mic for your phone, with a windshield (dead cat). I mount a Shure MV8 on the lightning socket of my iPhone 12. Android requires an MV8 Plus with a USB-C cable. Both powered by the phone.
Thanks for staying awake for the most part of the journey :) The footage is absolutely amazing! Would you disclose the movie camera type you were using?
He would fall in love with the Youth Hostel in Lund - it is in old refurbished sleepingcars on rails near the station. Sadly he didnt stop there. Its also a very quiet area and if you are not afraid of rabbits - you are welcome there!

Small note: the Tunnel under Øresund wasnt just built to accommodate the flights out of Kastrup Airport but also to allow ship traffic to pass through that couldnt pass under the bridge part
I wish you were right but you aren't. Larger vessels (like bigger cruise ships) have to take the detour around Zealand (via Øresund/Helsingør).
It used to be a novelty taking the train and seeing the carriages being loaded on the ferry at Nyborg before the bridge was built! Progress. Nice journey!
