Another wonderful video - as usual! I felt sorry for you when you arrived in your room in the dark! Scandinavia is often dark, but trains should have an easy-to-find light-switch! And again, I felt SO sorry that you were given the same bread for supper as you got for breakfast! Denmark (particularly) is very famous for its pastries (and Danish people eat them for breakfast). I would have expected you to receive a pastry (or Danish bacon, which is also famous!) I love your sub-titles on screen and the beautiful way you phrase the words.

Very nice trip report! Also that bird at the station in Stockholm is a Jackdaw. Its a small corvid bird, so in the same family as crows. They're quite smart birds and often live in big colonies by train stations or residential areas together with rooks, another crowlike bird that's all black with a grey beak. You'll often find rooks and jackdaws together with hooded seagulls at transit hubs in scandinavia as they scour the area for leftover food by humans, or use human vehicles like buses and cars to crack open things like nuts.

18:00 Malmö Central is mostly a through station with trains going in the Citytunnel under the city of Malmö. Night trains, some long distance and local trains still use the old station above ground. At 18:15 you see the beginning of the tunnel. An other odd fact, while the rest of Swedens trains ride on the left side of double tracks, trains switch to right side tracks before Malmö so they are on same side when entering Denmark :)

But I would never use night train for this route it is to slow, by swapping train in Copenhagen & Hamburg and then using Danish and German trains the trip Berlin-Malmö takes less then 6 hours costing less then 100 €,

I mean to be fair the Swedish rail network is one of the most liberalised in the world. There is a lot of competition between different operators, and Snälltåget operates in direct competition with the State railways SJ, and while their trains are not as fast as the X2000, they're competing by having a lower price and better ammenities onboard like a full restaurant. Snälltåget runs several departures per day from Malmö to Stockholm which is their flagship route, but they also operate the Berlin Night Express during the summer, and the Ski train from Malmö and several Danish cities to Austria during December. Ads for it have appeared across train stations in all of Denmark now.

I have been amazed by this series how Kuga can produce such insightful and generally positive videos on his experience in Europe, yet half the comments are complaining about the trains, "apologising" for x, or making inaccurate comparisons to other services. Crazy when that is not the tone Kuga uses at all! He just presents it as it is. Anyway, some of the complaining I'm seeing: 1. On the cost, he bought the equivalent of 6 tickets to book out that compartment. That invalidates all comparisons on cost. People then saying "you paid so much and got that service?" Yes, if I bought 6 economy seats on an aeroplane, I don't suddenly get business class service, I just get 6 in flight meals. Sleeping on a row of economy seats on a plane also is not equivalent to a lie down business class bed, and the same is true here. A comparison with Japan would be buying 6 nobi nobi seats on the sunrise express and expecting the same service as a duluxe room. 2. Having said that, while couchettes are not the most comfortable to sit on, and most are really old now, as beds I think they are fine. I am currently on a trip across Europe and was on a couchette last night and it was better than several of the hotels I had been on (not a very high bar but they are really not as bad as they look. OBB's pillows suck though). 3. I even saw a comment on how the train was not sitting on the platform for any real time before leaving Berlin. (and obviously confused Kuga, understandable for the first time). I don't see how this is a "problem". The board said when the train was leaving, the train left then. These aren't rail tours or cruises, these are scheduled intercity services and Berlin HBF is not a small quiet station that can have a platform occupied by a train for longer than is needed. 4. And on the comments of the train being "old and dirty". No argument about it being old and like every travel enthusiast look forward to seeing what OBB do with the new Nightjet stock. Though I will caution that Caledonian Sleeper got new stock in the last few years and it has resulted in horror stories with its reliability, so appreciate as Kuga does at the end, that you at least get to your destination. I've yet to understand the "dirty" comments in most of these videos, the stations yes but the train interiors seem fine and the exteriors could be better but I'd rather the trains are actually out and doing a service than be polished museum pieces. The best one was the comment on the Eurostar video that the front of the train was dirty. Yes, that happens after you run at 300kph for 2.5 hours during summer. All I can say it that I look forward to visiting Japan, a country where the flies are considerate enough to not get in the way of the trains! Again, good to see that Kuga is not his commentators and appreciates and shows us his different experiences (good and bad!).

I would love to do this journey! The only parts I've done before is getting the train a little north of Hamburg to visit friends, and the section between Copenhagen and Malmo. I would say though that I love Hamburg too much to just go through it without stopping, I'd probably need to spend a few days there and then do the sleeper after the visit. Copenhagen and Malmo are both well worth a visit too, though Copenhagen is the most expensive place I've ever visited (probably still cheaper that Switzerland though!). The bird at the end is a Jackdaw, they're a type of crow and are extremely clever. There are lots of them where I stay and they get to know peoples' faces, so they don't fly away from me anymore!
