Great video. I like your videos because are detailed and very well edited.

A nicely detailed report with high-quality video. The first-class accommodations looked good enough, though you commented that they were not very clean. I'm surprised that the other cars were not air conditioned, and I would not be keen to share a six-berth cabin with five strangers!

[@christianwidelund-johansso1786]

40+ year old cars, they were renovated between 15-25 years ago but hopefully when they do make the next big upgrade they will install aircondition in those who didn't got it then 🙂

[@jmolofsson]

Having travelled many times both with and without AC in sleeping cars between Stockholm and Malmö, I've never felt the need. Heating is crucial, cooling less so. Windows that can be opened, on the other hand, *_that's_* a bonus worth paying for, particularly if bad luck strikes and the electricity is lost.

[@NerdX151]

It's really impressive that SJ can make any profit from this train, considering the journey time between Malmö and Stockholm is 4 hours and 30 minutes if you travel during the day AND is operated by low-budget trains such as Snälltåget. Here in Denmark we no longer have a sleeper train between Copenhagen and Aalborg/Frederikshavn, because DSB claims the journey is too short (5 to 6 hours).

[@jollyjoker6340]

The cruise between Stockholm and Helsinki is too short, so they stay still somewhere at sea for a few hours. Travelling while you sleep is so convenient, I think they could leave the train on a side track for 3-4 hours to let people sleep.

[@RegebroRepairs]

I did go first class night train Oslo-Stockholm quite a lot when I loved in Oslo in the 90's. Everything looks exactly the same, same exact style, same exact beds, but I have no memory of showers, so I guess that's new.

[@barvdw]

I believe the included breakfast is only when you're in sleeper, not in couchette. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to check it out last time, I had a bunch of tight connections to get to Brussels, that day, and took the first Öresundstag to Copenhagen. The sleeper trains to the North do have a café on board for breakfast, but I agree, for Malmö, the hotel breakfast is perfect, you don't have to get up to eat at silly o'clock to be done before you arrive, it gives you a bit more time for the city to wake up if you have business in Malmö, and the choice does seem good. Even when it's not complimentary, I think I'll start doing this more often, just book a breakfast at a hotel near the station.

[@tompao7832]

Breakfast is included in first class sleeper tickets only - not in second class sleeper or couchette. (As the announcement on the train correctly stated...) On SJ night trains to/from the north you usually have the choice of eating vour complimentary breakfast in the train bistro or at a hotell - the later is usually the best choise. I don´t know how it works on the "Far North" (Umeå/Luleå/kriuna/Narvik) now when the norwegians have taken over the service, I try to avoid traveling with that company...

[@barvdw]

@@tompao7832 could you explain why you don't like VY? I mean, apart from the stupid name? And while VY has taken over some services in Sweden, SJ has taken over some services in Norway, too. Quite a bummer for me with a railway employee discount with VY, tbh.

[@the1abhishek]

Yes you are right, Indian Railways do have, non air-conditioned coaches, but most short haul(less than 8 hours) and long haul(more than 8 hours) trains have mix of both air-conditioned and non air-conditioned coach . In many premium trains all the coaches are air conditioned and have different classes , however none have a manual control for aircon, and controls are just limited to adjusting the direction of airflow or completely shut it off. Nevertheless, personal bathroom or shower are not present even in the first class coaches here. Then, there are some uber luxury trains, those have all the amenities and luxuries than one can expect to find in a 5star hotel accommodation. These trains, however are way expensive as per Indians and thus are mostly targeted towards foreigners who wish to see India via the rail route which is just an awesome experience and should be in a train enthusiast's bucklist.

Many years, there are a few weeks in the summer, when AC is good to have in cars like these. And the number of weeks tend to increase. So, for new rolling stock, I can't imagine they forget AC. But the cars built in the 1960s and 1980s, they were never considered in need of such luxuries. If necessary, the window was there to be opened.

[@gundalfthelost1624]

Anything above 25C is too hot for me so AC is great in the summer.

You're quite right! Summer temps rarely exceed 30C, so there are few times AC is really needed. Winter temps below -20C are however more frequent; no one wants to freeze. Right?

[@LordBorok]

It wierd that SJ cannot figure out the technicalities to get a sleeper train over to kbh. But a private company have made a sleeper train from S Stocholm to Berlin that runs trough Denmark.

[@NerdX151]

The difference is that the coaches that Snälltåget uses are standard UIC coaches bought from Germany. The coaches that SJ uses on the Malmö-Stockholm sleeper are built for Swedish standards, which means they are much wider than UIC coaches. Back when SJ still had daily sleeper trains to Copenhagen, they had to use the old "slam door" sleepers because the new sleepers were so wide that the sliding doors would scrape the platforms at Copenhagen Central Station. For the same reason SJ never used their newer seating coaches on the daytime services to Denmark. These were all operated with old 1960's coaches with non-automatic doors.

[@tompao7832]

[@ic_kolobrzeg]

1600 SEK, it's very expensive for such conditions. I like the fact that you can come on the train a lot before departure, and leave 1.5 hours after arrival, which significantly extends sleep.

[@tompao7832]

The first class sleepers mainly caters for the business trade, and then 1600 SEK is NOT expensive. If you have a business meeting in Malmö (or Stockholm) starting att say 8:30, the alternative is to take an evening flight and stay the night at a hotell. That will probarbly cost you the double amount!

[@barvdw]

@@tompao7832 I've noticed that day trains are often not much cheaper, too, even in sleeper. While you can get to Malmö with the first day train before 10, you have to leave at 5:20 already. The sleeper arrives early enough in Malmö, but that's still at least an hour more sleep. Yeah, I'd take the night train as well.

[@drdewott9154]

I mean this really is the premium class for the business people first and foremost. Your average joe would, if needed to take the night train, likely be in Couchette class or the 2nd class sleeper class instead, both of whuch are lower in price compared to similar products by other night train operators in Western Europe like ÖBB Nightjet and Snälltåget
