And the bomb has been defused!
So all I have to contend with is the regular København - Hamburg dysfunction now!
@jon That is good news! Although the trains between Denmark and Germany can create a lot of issues even without bombs…

@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?

@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!

@Pepijn

@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?
