As far as I know Tågab was created by some ex SJ workers in the Kristinehamn area after SJ planned to introduce service cuts in the area, which they did not agree with. So they banded together, made their own company and bought some of SJ's old equipment, and keeps running these trains to this day on the services that SJ won't run but which still economically work, using the same practises as SJ did in the olden days. Also given that this train only has a max speed of 160km/h, that average speed is really impressive. On par with some high speed trains in other countries. So good job Tågab... (also imagine if a company does something similar in Denmark with routes like Copenhagen-Struer once DSB leaves that route in 2030)

I only wish that they hadn't refurbished those old trains. They looked much better in the past. Does anyone know if there are any old wagons from the 80s (especially sleeping wagons) that haven't been ruined/remodeled? I would have loved to at least have some pictures or videos from them. I remember the lamps in those wagons were hidden beneath sharp metal things (that you could flip up?)... there were also some classic stickers on the fake wooden walls that warned people about thieves. One, if I remember correctly, depicted a cartoon man wearing a suit and a hat, that looked back and spotted a wallet on the ground? I have fond memories of these wagons, but I have never seen them again.

The old Swedish built trains from 60-70s are still one of the best trains I’ve used. Flexible, reliable, comfy. I heard the point from the beginning was to stock up with more train cars if they were fully booked, something that isn’t used nowadays. I think they built the model all until the 90s when the Cold War ended and most of Swedish self sufficiency unfortunately ended.

Tågab's series of passenger cars were only produced in the 1960s. In the 1980s, a newer series of passenger cars came to SJ, which were produced until the mid-1990s.

I recently took the Tågab train from Alvesta. It has only three carriages but was otherwise similar to this train. What surprised me was the number of passengers. I thought it's such an odd train. But being available in the SJ booking system means that travelers looking to travel on the particular day and direction will find it. Those going to Värmland get a more direct journey with fewer transfers. And the price is good too. So this one train on Fridays will stand out in the search results of those customers. And SJ gets to sell the return journey, so it's a win for them.

I really enjoy your videos, but if I'm not mistaken you've now made the same mistake several times. So here's a tip for the next time you and your camera enters StockholmCentral Station from the east (the original 19th century entrance): Immediately after entering, point the camera to the roof. That is the roof in the smaller hall before the main concourse. It has been restored to its original state and is remarkably beautiful. You're welcome! 😊 PS. Maybe also mention that, when in the underpass, going in the opposite direction from going to the trains/platforms, you will get to the Stockholm metro (Station "T-centralen") and the Stockholm metropolitan area commuter trains (Station "Stockholm City"). You'll get to both without needing to go outside, which is nice when the weather isn't.

I rode with TÅGAB (Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen = "the train operator in ") when commuting to Lindesberg from Örebro back in 2018. Since I used to travel that route a lot by train and I booked through the SJ app, I was pleasantly surprised by what greeted me at the platform. It's still one of my most memorable train travel experiences. I don't know if they still traffic that route, but if I can choose to travel by TÅGAB and another operator, I am very likely to choose them. It's a lovely ride.

Having seats that can swivel to face different directions, used to be common in Norway (B3 and B5 coaches), common in Portugal (Sorefame coaches) and on older Canadian coaches (stainless steel, Budd coaches). The odd layout reminds me of some older DB coaches. I have ridden with SJ three times. I was staying in Trondheim, and decided to do a daytrip to Ostersund. A Rc3 there and a Rc6 back east of Storlien. I also rode behind a Rc6 from Fredrikstad to Oslo S. NSB in Oslo S being reluctant to sell me a SJ ticket, and the SJ train guard saw me board the train and rushed to check my ticket to make sure I was not in a NSB ticket.

I rode 1st class on SJ from Goteborg about 10 years ago, I think I recall the seats being able to rotate.. I do recall the interior being old fashioned and the seats being very soft with plush upholstery. Rotating seats used to be the norm for first class ("parlor car") daytime service in the USA (as opposed to night time Pullman sections), you can those in old photos of those trains.

220 V 16/3 Hz can´t be used for mobile telephones and lap tops. They will most likely be destroyed. It must be 50 Hz, not 16/3 Hz. There are, as most people know, different kinds of currency. There is AC and DC, for instance. The trains in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Switzerland use 16 000 volt 16/3 to drive their electric trains, while for instance Denmark use 25 000 volt 50 Hz. In Netherlands they use 1500 V DC, which make them unique in Europe.

the SJ booking system has recently removed the really useful feature where the mobile app would tell you where on the platform you should be standing. Usually it's somewhere between section A through E but platforms may have more sections than that. I hate it when i have to walk through half of the SJ x2000 to get to the seat that I picked when booking because the app no longer tells me where i should position myself prior to boarding. The interior of X2000 is cramped when moving luggage.

There's basically no difference in comfort between 1st class and 2nd class. It's normally (but never ridden these carriages) a matter of how crammed it is. Been riding IC between Stockholm and Gothenburg a few times and i actually prefer the longer journey time of 4.5 hours over the 3.16 hours (IIRC) of the X2. This because on that frequent SJ route, the RC6 and the older 80's wagons 2nd class seating is PERFECT if you reserve a seat and no-one reserves the one next to you. You have two seats to lay back in and sleep. I once made the mistake of reserving in 1st class (only 25 SEK extra) and i could not sleep at all, even when the seat reclines. So what i did was move over to 2nd class, finding a seat pair that wasn't reserved and laid down there and slept for 2 hours. Though this Tågab consist's cabins look like the PERFECT place to lie down. I am surprised they were empty. Did those seats cost more to reserve?

Compartments are excellent for sleeping, it's the same price as far as I'm aware but as there is no seat map you have to know the numbers to manually be assigned a seat there

@@Takraf And i am speaking from my own personal experience between 1st and 2nd class seats like those. They are basically the same. Difference is amount of space around them and the fact 1st class tends to have armrests between seats, which means you can't lie down over them. Now, stop telling me what i think or i will start telling you what you are thinking.

That train does NOT look like it did in the past. They took old train wagons and COMPLETELY ruined them. It is really depressing, especially concerning the night wagons from the 80s. The sleeping wagons from the 80s in Sweden were some of the most cozy... but they have all been refurbished and remodeled and now look like crap.
