Great video! The coaches are older, but after the renovation they look quite good and the opening windows are a big advantage :-) What I like about Flixtrain is the possibility to buy the seat next to you (I'd like this on all trains). I plan to try Flixtrain for several years, but it's still one of the trains I haven't took yet :-D

Thanks mate! I've still not been on the German one, had 2 cancelled. I agree the coaches are nice, if not fully accessible 🇸🇪😎

The reason the X2000 services are faster is their bogey design that allows for 30% overspeed in curves, regular trains only has 10% unless they have rigid bogies, in that case they aren't allowed any overspeed at all

Great trip. Like a Flixbus, I think Flixtrain is a real challengers for National Railway Company around Europe.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Absolutely I agree, they've just got to find the right markets 😎🇸🇪

[@bchqf]

The biggest advantage of train travel over airplane is that nobody cares about the weight of your baggage. Unless, as I have just learned, Flixtrain limits you to 20 kg. I feel outraged by this information. I understand the limit on airplane is due to technical and handling reasons but there is no excuse to apply it for a train where you take care of your baggage yourself! Anyway excellent and informative trip report.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Thanks! Lots do have theoretical limits (usually, what you can carry) but apart from Ouigo, I've never seen them enforced. I think it's mainly to stop people taking the piss!

[@trainenthusiast7695]

I believe the 180 speed limit (as opposed to always 200) is due to the fact that these coaches don't tilt. The X2000 on the other hand does tilt hence it stays at 200 for more of the trip.

[@andreaslindh9019]

Great video! I’m a Stockholm citizen and have seen FlixTrain trains pass by numerous times, but haven’t yet travelled with FlixTrain. When it comes to Hallsberg station, the reason for its size could be that it - except from passing through freight trains - should be able to have several passenger trains calling at the same time. Hallsberg may not be a particularly large town, but it’s geographical location is very important, since several railways connect at Hallsberg. When it comes to train services, there are e.g. at least two regional train routes to choose from when travelling between Hallsberg and Stockholm (one route runs north of Lake Mälaren, meanwhile the second route runs along the same railway as FlixTrain - in other words south of Lake Mälaren). Looking forward to your future video reviews!

This is what rail privatisation looks like when it works, with genuine competition between operators and customers getting a genuine choice in service. In this case you get a basic service at an excellent price with low cost airline style ticketing service.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Exactly! And if you want to pay extra, full service first class is an option too with SJ!

[@grahamariss2111]

@@NonstopEurotrip My preference was the Blue Train, which whilst relatively slow, offered a first class restaurant service and a bar with sofa and super fast internet. Found it better to have breakfast or lunch on the train and work in the 1st class, rather than go 1st class on the X2000. It had stopped running due to track access issues due to work on the line before Covid, but understood they planned to restart Spring 2020, but Covid killed it.

[@michaelsrowland]

What is the cost of a cheap ticket,

[@grahamariss2111]

@@michaelsrowland Sadly the Blue Train was suspended due to the capacity limitations that came with the track renewal in Autumn 2019 and was due to restart in Spring 2020, however Covid happened, I suspect we will not see it return. Because as well as the 1st class dining experience, they used to have a couple of 2nd class coaches which they sold at lower price than the other services, however that market has now been moved into by Flix and with at least 4 different services (2 SJ, 2 independent) on this route now, not sure there is capacity for a 5th operator. However when it was running, Gothenburg to Stockholm with Breakfast or dinner cost the same as 1st Class SJ X2000 service which was quicker but only offered coffee and biscuits and did not have such quick wifi.

[@Si-Al-Ti]

This might be what rail privatization looks like when it’s working out for the consumer. But I’m always suspicious towards companies like this. How will the lower prices affect the on board personnel? Poor compensation for inconvenient working hours, poorer pensions and social benefits, working without collective agreement and even union suppression is not uncommon. But I don’t know flixtrain that well, although mtr had a few scandals regarding precarious employment in their first years operating. Overall I’m very critical of private companies operating within sectors of societal importance like healthcare, infrastructure and telecommunication. I do miss Blå Tåget though. The piano bar was great.

I recognise that view coming into Stockholm. Very cheap and very distinctive livery, unless you end up (like me) on one of their bus routes they seem to have contracted out.

Great video but I'm also saddened that rail travel goes the same way as airline travel - all about low price. No services. Everything is an extra fee. Especially as full-service rail travel options still is low cost. Fixtrain would never be an option for me. I live in Los Angeles, and take Amtrak to San Diego. In their Business Class, one gets breakfast in the morning and wine and snacks in the evening included in the ticket price. And there is a café car...

After switching to driving on the right for cars in 1967, they seem to not have implemented that for trains. All the double track footage you showed, the train drives on the left. In NL and DE trains usually drive on the right. The coaches look similar to those used on the intercity Amsterdam Berlin, but with different paint and interior.

[@niure86]

That is correct, in Sweden trains drive on the left side

Nice trip report Max 👍🏻. Personally, I prefer SJ X2000 when traveling between the two cities. Proud to see not one but two Pride flags🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 flying in Göteborg. ☺️. My Farmor (Grandmother) is from Jönköping and my Farfar (Grandfather) is from Göteborg. As a side note, when many Swedes immigrated to America, the reason they primarily settled in Minnesota (and Wisconsin and Illinois) because of the large swath of forests and lakes and weather reminded them of home. I hope your travels to Scandinavia allowed to you to travel aboard the famous The Flåm Line which is a 20.2-kilometer long railway line between Myrdal and Flåm in Aurland Municipality, in Vestland county, Norway. A branch line of the Bergen Line, it runs through the valley of Flåmsdalen and connects the mainline with Sognefjord. It is an extremely popular train in Norway because of the scenic views along the route. P.S. rear view! Definitely rear view 😉

Great trip report. At first, I was wondering why the weather looked so bad with the pride flags in Gothenburg. I wrongly assumed the video was shot in the summer. The changes in the weather throughout the day was very northern European though.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Yeah I only shot this around 9/10 weeks ago 😄

[@ReyOfLight]

Hehe you passed by my town during that trip, though it wasn’t seen in the video. Saw some familiar sights though, like Falköping which I passed by a lot (and it’s some 25-30 minutes by train from my town) when I went to high school in a town north of Skövde and took the train at least twice weekly (boarding school) to get to and from school. If I go to Stockholm at all these days, I use MTR Express or MTRX as they go under now. By far the best option as far as efficiency, service and prices go. I’ve been using MTRX almost exclusively since 2015 because they’re just that good and so much more affordable than SJ X2000 which is the other option for me (I can’t handle the double decker regional trains due to their long travel time as I live with severe chronic pain)

[@NonstopEurotrip]

I'm yet to try MTRX, but I will for sure soon! 😃

[@ReyOfLight]

@@NonstopEurotrip They’re amazing! Always great staff on the trains and you get about the same travel time as SJ X2000 and the latter is a lot more expensive! There’s a cafe onboard like on X2000 as well. In my experience MTRX is also very punctual, they’re only late if there’s issues along the tracks, and they tend to be very good at informing passengers in a timely manner and then do their best to try to catch up to minimize the delay. Some years ago when I was going to Stockholm for a meeting, there were some signal issues or something so trains were having big delays, I got a text message informing me about the delays before I even left home to go to the train station 15km from home (my town does have a train station but express trains don’t stop here, only regional trains do) The only downside with MTRX in my experience is the seat comfort, the seats are quite hard. For someone of full health it might not be an issue, but for me with chronic pain it can be a hassle even with the journey being just under 3 hours

I'm curious, do people in Europe not fly, at least internally? Here in Australia, it's much cheaper to fly from Sydney to Melbourne, for example, than to take the train down (which is sad IMO), is this not so in Europe? I've never been to Europe so have no idea of course :) In saying that, only paying about $20 AUD base fare for a 455 km trip is a real bargain. A similarly distanced trip, Sydney to Wagga for example, takes 6 hours and fares start at $63 AUD or 40 EUR.

[@drdewott9154]

People here often fly but mostly over longer distances like say Stockholm-Paris. But for smaller domestic corridors like Stockholm-Gothenburg then 125mph rail is very much a viable alternative. I mean factoring in the time to get to and from the airport and the time you need to spend there for security and baggage check in and reclaim then it's actually faster to take the train than to go by air. But for routes where the rail links are currently subpar like Copenhagen-Oslo then yeah the airlines have the trump card. In some regions like Denmark, the bus companies like Flixbus are also seeing big growth. But more so due to them being liberalized and at a faster rate than the Intercity rail sector

[@NonstopEurotrip]

It's very much a thing to use highspeed (200kmh+) rail for journeys of up to 3-4 hours. There's lots of competition now especially in Spain and Italy, and indeed Sweden so to answer your question, Yes! 😄

[@s125ish]

I used the train from Sydney to Melbourne it was long and the fare was cheap. I wanted to see the country.

[@jmolofsson]

@arokh72 Domestic flights often make less sense. My own experience is, that if there is a train, and the ride takes less than six* hours, then typically the market for train is better than for flying, i.e. sufficient for competitive prices and frequencies. To me, a rather typical comparison would be Hamburg to Copenhagen or Munich. Airfare is typically comparable with, or more expensive than, 1st class in train. Nominal flight time is 1 hour, the train ride takes 5 hours. But in the end, the total travel time doesn't differ much, the cost for travelling to and from the airport is easy to forget, and most of the time on the train can be used to thinking, reading, or dozing. */ Six hours is of course not written in stone.

[@arokh72]

@@jmolofsson I suppose that also comes down to me not realising how close European cities really are. One of the world's busiest air routes, pre pandemic, being the Sydney - Melbourne run is about a 1 hour flight vs a 12 hour train trip. Plus you can fly between those cities for

These coaches were upgraded in the 1990s by DB for a top speed of 200km/h in trains that were named "Interregio". They were not equiped with air condition. So some windows could be opened.

Compared to SJ, it's cheap!

[@thisisspain]

That is a complete bargain by Swedish standards. Single Gothenburg - Stromstad 124 SEK/12.09 EUR 165 KM/100 M. Gothenburg - Stockholm 469km

Merci, nonstop eurotrip ! Je vais m'amuser à écrire ce commentaire en français. Pour que tu te rendes compte de la difficulté inhérente à toute traduction, pour que tu réalises l'effort énorme consenti par mes soins pour regarder des vidéos en anglais, surtout vu les différences de langue entre l'anglais et le français, j'ai décidé ce choix. Bien entendu, et comme toujours, cela va de soi, la vidéo que tu as réalisée est belle. Elle est d'autant plus belle qu'elle concerne, enfin, le Nord ! Vive le Nord ! J'en ai marre du Sud ! J'adore le Nord ! 8:06 par exemple illustre parfaitement le genre de paysages qui m'émeut profondément. Il me plaît d'être dans des paysages nuageux, désolés. Bien évidemment, ta vidéo ne rend pas compte de l'ambiance qu'il y a à être sur place, mais j'apprécie énormément la géographie et la configuration morphologique de ce type de paysage. D'ailleurs, ma ville préférée au monde est Paris et mon lieu préféré au monde est Disneyland Paris. J'ai l'abonnement annuel à Disneyland Paris, c'est mon rêve d'être là-bas. Bien entendu encore, les prix de Flix train sont très attractifs ; nous n'avons jamais essayé cette compagnie dans le domaine des trains, par contre, nous sommes habitués à Flix bus, et nous n'avons jamais eu de problèmes avec cette compagnie. L'équipe a toujours été très sympathique, et surtout, on a toujours bien voyagé avec eux. J'impatiente ce genre de trains, j'adore les trains pas cher. Le fait qu'il s'agisse d'un train pas cher l'emporte sur tout autre critère. Merci pour ta vidéo, nonstop eurotrip, elle est très informative et sympathique. Je me plais à écrire en français. Je suis sûr que tu comprends.( Il s'agit également de mon deuxième commentaire sur cette vidéo, le premier, que j'ai posté hier, n'est pas passé.) PS : Si tu veux que j'écrive mes prochains commentaires en français, n'hésite pas à me le faire savoir.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Si vous voulez écrire en français Louis, allez-y ! Je vous remercie de regarder mes vidéos, vous pouvez commenter comme vous le souhaitez! J'adore la Scandinavie et la Suède en particulier, comme tu le dis les paysages sont magnifiques. J'aime le sud pour le temps, mais le paysage au nord est bien meilleur ! Désolé d'avoir mis du temps à répondre, j'ai dû le traduire évidemment. Prends soin de toi Louis !

The seats in the Flixtrain are very narrow and the overall ambience doesn't seem very cozy. There is no extra area with 1st class seats. The X2000 is the better and more comfortable option for a relaxed train ride than these noisy former InterRegio wagons from Germany.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

If I could a a good price, I'd chose the X2000 too 😃

Welcome to the Swedish Lifestyle! Where all your things in your house come from Ikea & the cheapest long-distance trip is just from €12.99. Woo-hoo! Meanwhile in the Spanish Lifestyle, you can have a coffee between €1 & €2 on a café, the cheapest baguette bread costs €0.20 & the cheapest long-distance journey is just from €7 16:30 That's a pity 19:56 But it goes from €12.99 21:56 I'd like to ride on Flixtrain Germany! From €4.99, I can go from Berlin to any major city in the country. That's what I call "cheapness & savingness" 22:35 Video's score: 7.3 (Sorry, dude, but Flixtrain Germany, Renfe Avlo & Ouigo, even in France or Spain, are much cheaper)

[@anderslarsen6009]

You can't compare Sweden or any of the Nordic countries to Spain. The cost of living is much higher and that will reflect on the ticket prices. And to say that everyone in Sweden lives in Ikea homes is just stupid. Its like saying that every person in Spain drinks Sangria and eats Paella.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Thank you Pedro! How does the price affect the videos score? Surely it should be on the quality of the video 😂

[@pedrorubiotejero_aka_prt]

@@NonstopEurotrip But it's €12.99, and you typed that the other trains costs 2 to 3 times more, so, The other train prices can cost from €25.98 to €38.97! (According to mathematics) Also, this low-cost train is old & Is 2.5 times more expensive than Flixtrain in Germany, 1.8 times more expensive than Renfe Avlo or 1.3 times more expensive than Ouigo España!
