#CrossBorderRail #LongestTrainEU Record Attempt Train 4 of 18R 741515:40 Umeå Östra - Sundsvall C 18:39Norrtåg

@jon Welcome to Stockholm!
@Eorlingur shortly. Approaching Arlanda now.
-
Also #LongestTrainEU is 10x more stress than my regular #CrossBorderRail work, not least as I have a cameraman following me, *and* because the planning is so hellish (today at least)
I *hope* I will have a quiet next few trains

Thanks @Jonas_Bostrom for coming to greet the weary #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail travellers on board between Gävle and Uppsala!

@jon What's the most likely scenario: border police rejects your driving license in illegal border checks upon entering Germany or CP rejects your cameraman for unsolicited filming upon entering Portugal?

@cycling_on_rails you’re making me laugh. Good job!

@jon Until then that should be solved. Hopefully.

Really!
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?

-
@ruben no. But I should have done!

@jon You're going to break the record of ways your journey can be disrupted at this rate.

@jon Murphy is laughing hard I guess

@jon Thanks for the heads up. I'm also supposed to be going that way tomorrow...

@speculationfictive You *might* get around it via Bad Oldesloe and Neumünster. Today all the ECE trains started/ended in Neumünster.

So I *think* you can get around the WWII bomb in Hamburg by routing Schleswig - Neumünster - Bad Oldesloe - Hamburg Hbf, and it even does not add *that much* time
Let's consider all of this again tomorrow morning!

@jon the producer is truly laying it on thick!

@jon Most likely, yes.

@jon Based on what I know about Hamburg trainlines, that seems to be correct.
The train between Neumünster and Bad Oldesloe can get crowded if the track between Neumünster and Hamburg is closed without replacement busses -

@jon Thanks for the chat! It was nice meeting you!

And as I approach Stockholm, and my train is using a line also used by the Pendeltåg, have some Markoolio
The silliest railway track since Ferd rapping about a draisine

@jon This is quite common in Germany and routine, unless they encounter any issues with the bomb, the disposal team should be quick in disabling and removing it.
