BTW how much did all of this cost?
My workings are here:
https://crossborderrail.eu/interrail-cheaper-and-more-flexible-than-regular-tickets-for-the-record-trip/Short answer: Interrail makes it not too expensive, but all the re-planning has cost me
@jon thanks for this very thorough page, as I was curious about the price of this trip with and without interrail.
Interrail is not always the best value, especially when you are travelling as a family (kids>12), but it certainly offers a level of flexibility that is worth taking into account.
And for the little story, Rovaniemi - Faro, booked for in 28 days, is 462€ with the cheapest possible fare by airplane (2 stopovers).
As more often than most people think, the train is cheaper.

It seems all passengers in your Copenhagen - Hamburg train will be locomotive drivers.. Must be something new DSB bought..
Have a good night!

The next task: plan around a

@jon That is good news! Although the trains between Denmark and Germany can create a lot of issues even without bombs…

@knud I vaguely updated the timetable page now. And this is the spreadsheet with the more detailed plans

@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?

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 !

@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.
