@sebwilken @jon
Breakfast at a hotel or lounge access is for 1st class sleeper only.
No breakfast or lounge included in 2 class@interrailinfosvenska @jon Yes. The 1st class sleeper is the only one that makes sense on that train as a 2nd class compartment would cost 3x as much, at least with Interrail. I don't understand the pricing at all, doesn't seem to make sense. Also the train basically only consists of 1st class sleepers (at one point I thought class doesn't play a role because of the weird pricing and consist of that train and I used the 1st class sleeper on a 2nd class Interrail - no one cared).

@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.
