They don't show bucket-list experiences that would bankrupt me in 72 hours, but equally don't involve paying 2 euros for a Yurt in a cesspit. Somehow exploring within a reasonable budget and not trying to kill yourself has become a niche!

Having been away to Bulgaria for just one weekend I get home with 1 Gothenburg-Stockholm video by Scott and 1 Madrid video by Steve available. Guess which one I watched first. Almost every week I sit in a train on my way to work around 6am with me and some railway employees talking about Steve and your videos. If you even want to travel in the drivers cab rather than with the passengers it's not hard to arrange that. In fact, I'm surprised Steve with his 100k followers never has been in front cab 🤣 btw I'm surprised that flixtrain wasn't filled up full. Every time I'm in Germany it's almost sold out ...

12.20 "it's very green" , well once upon a not so long ago all trains in Sweden were a rich red colour called SJ Red and that is replicated across the whole country where you see these idyllic looking red houses against a backdrop of snow.

Having stayed in Stockholm and Goteborg in many places, from Hostels, Af Chapman Ship on Stockholm, Langholmen Hotel and Hostel which was a former prison. Hotels have great showers, love the pressure. Hostels on the other hand can vary. Problems wth some hotel rooms in Sweden are no windows. Sometimes its nice to look out to see what the weather is like. Overall Sweden is an expensive and worthwhile experience.

Excellent video (as always), and I look forward to seeing the quirky hotel in your next video!

Highly recommend Gothenburg, great city to visit. Airport is a bit away from the city and only connected by bus, and if you're coming from UK it's basically BA from Heathrow, a couple of unfriendly timed Norwegian Air services from Gatwick, or Ryanair from Stansted, Manchester or Edinburgh I think. The alternative is getting a flight to Copenhagen Kastrup and taking the nice gentle scenic train ride over the Oresund bridge and up the west coast through places like Helsingborg and Falkenberg.

I've stayed in the same hotel and have some further insight. Until June last year the hotel was owned by the Liseberg Amusement Park which is a short walk away. They sold it when they opened a larger hotel next to the park. It seems like the pricing structure is still based around the parks opening hours though hence the sharp rise in Summer.

I've been in a train driver's cab twice, that I can recall. Once in the early 80s, when I was a small boy, the driver of an HST at Edinburgh Waverley had my brother and I up for a visit. He was daft enough to let us sound the horn! The other was much more recent, and like Scott I was also taking pictures of the loco (in particular its "MADE IN USSR" plate), a 50-year-old Soviet brute of a thing still earning an honest living in Finland. The most important piece of equipment in a Finnish train cab: The coffee machine. Also in Finland, the preserved "lattahattu" ("flat cap") multiple-units. I'm not sure it counts, because passengers were allowed in the end compartment with the driver anyway. But it's fun.
