Aaand we’re stuck #LongestTrainEU
@jon on track for longest train journey in the EU – just not the in way planed

@jon aaand off it goes, into lands unknown*.
*Hamburg Hbf, platform 14

@jon does that set of stairs change the accessibility score for the train ?
@quixoticgeek the broken toilet definitely does!

@jon have any of the trains you've used so far been fully step free accessible?

@jon Looks like you lucked out again. The train two hours earlier was actually stuck for an hour and a half in Padborg.

@quixoticgeek To get into 1 carriage? Or also step free throughout inside? If the latter, 1. If the former, 4.

@jon While you have a camera with you, it feels as if this might turnbout as a sitcom, rather than a documentary.
Good luck for your next leg, when does your next train in Hamburg leave? -

@jon fully step free throughout. I wonder how that stat will change across the journey.

@jon Stockholm–Malmö might seem like a rather short trip for a night train, but it's a train I'm actually using a lot for my travels from and to Finland. Timetable works well with the ferries, and with Interrail, it's really good value for money.
The sleeper reservation includes a luxurious breakfast buffet at a hotel in Malmö, which is great. Tip: If you don't have time for that, you also have access to the SJ Lounge at Malmö C where light breakfast is served.
@sebwilken @jon I think the train is rather comfy and great departure time but it would provide so much more value (to me anyway) if it extended to Copenhagen. Slightly longer sleep, and one less connection in the usually crowded morning Ötåg.

@jon At least the Talgo exists… it’s been cancelled every time I tried to take it.
Anyway, you’re in Germany now. It should be smooth sailing from here…
…Oh wait…

@smveerman DSB can't even run a toilet.

@smveerman DSB can't even run a toilet.
@Pepijn @smveerman @jon That the toilets are out of order in old trainsets like IC3 and ER4 is perhaps what you could expect (Happens more often than not these days). But in a new train...
Anyway - Talgos with one or two locomotives: It depends. I see both versions when I encounter a Talgo. But DSB are low on Vectrons
