@jon if you get a chance can you fix the formatting on the alt text please. It's kinda garbled and impossible to follow.
@quixoticgeek No. But you can find the entire Spreadsheet here: https://nextcloud.jonworth.eu/index.php/s/AllRoutePlans

And if this train does NOT go tonight from Haparanda to Boden, I would *then* be relying on a 3 minute connection in Badajoz on the final day
I SOOOO hope Norrtåg manages to run later today.
@jon on the plus side. That 3 mins change should be across the platform.

The kind people at the Tornio art gallery gave me a warm place to sit and work - super
This piece they have it entitled “Waiting for a Norrtåg train”

@jon I take comfort in the fact, Germany is not alone when it comes to shitty train operations.

@sebwilken @jon Does it make the operations any less shitty then ?

@jon in fairness, do you really want to spend more than three min in Badajoz? It’s grim and very hot
-
@sebwilken In this specific case, with a torn overhead wire, it would take a few hours even in Germany if you happen to be stuck on the wrong side of the issue. But I generally agree with your point.
(You also have to remember that this part of Sweden has 2.5 persons per sq km – that is not a typo
) -
So this is the likely new timetable
I think
I hope!
Red ones I did not reserve yet
@jon awesome! Much success, fingers crossed. 3 minutes layover sound tight to say the least
. If it all goes according to plan, we should be in the same train from Badajoz onwards. -
@jon by car it’s off by around 200km I think
but by train… I bet it’s farther -
@jon I'm pretty sure this is not "how the crow flies" distances, at least. The Oslo number is plausible along roads (OSM says a little less, though), but waaay too high for actual distance.
Not 100% sure about those arrows either... One would imagine Ikast and Copenhagen were somewhat in the same direction...

@jon Send them a selfie of yours for good company

@jon
Should be about 3800km -
The bridge!

@jon Fingers crossed: 7186/7187 is looking like it will actually depart by rail.
Trafikverket estimates traffic will run again at 16:30 which gives ~1h before 7186 leaves Luleå towards Haparanda.

@jon the guy in the painting looks like the secret third brother of Anthony Hopkins and Rutger Hauer.
