With Snälltåget on Malmö -Stockholm |
| Description: |
Snälltåget is a Transdev Train, a French multi-modal company. The Snälltåget service is pulled by Swedish privat operator Hectorrail. Several time our train had to take the sidings to let pass SJ high speed trains. Therefore is was late half an hour, and I missed the connection on Bla Taget, another privat company in Sweden. |
