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.

So all I have to contend with is the regular København - Hamburg dysfunction now!

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

@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.
