@jon They have WiFi in SJ sleeper carriages now?
@acb Yeah somehow, and it works!
-
Also it’s quite funny: had I escaped Haparanda yesterday, I’d have got caught by the line closure due to the bomb in Hamburg today
As it is the bomb *might* be clear by tomorrow lunchtime?
@jon someone set you up the bomb?

And the bomb has been defused!
So all I have to contend with is the regular København - Hamburg dysfunction now!
From passengers swearing at me in French via tight connections, meeting rail firm CEOs, cab rides and an unfounded fear of bomb defusing problems tomorrow, it’s been quite a day for #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail !
Here’s today’s summary

@jon Nitpicky, but You might want to update the title/description of your videos and channel that still mention the Cross Border Rail spring and not the longest journey.

Thankfully there are loads of trains Malmö - København, so maybe in København it will still connect?

@jon You're going to break the record of ways your journey can be disrupted at this rate.
@brunogirin @jon yes, it seems like the theme from "Mission Impossible" belongs right up there on the playlist!

Don't underestimate DSB either! Let's hope they employ their special skill of departing late for no reason at all!

BTW, is there any better tracker in Denmark than Rejseplanen? -
@Pepijn
BTW, is there any better tracker in Denmark than Rejseplanen?@jon Don't think so. Rejseplanen is the only that hasn't given me false hope by at a critical moment not updating in time.
@sorenhave I think Rejseplannen "is it" for Denmark?

@acb Yeah somehow, and it works!
@jon @acb I am surprised that you don't have a mobile data plan with lots of EU roaming included. But maybe such are not available at a reasonable price in France?
(Personally I almost never bother looking for WiFi in trains when in the EU. And the Nordics and Baltics don't even count as being abroad for my operator, so unlimited data.)
