Unfortunately there are no longer "trillevogn" - trolley carts - serving coffe, soft-drinks , sandwiches etc. They stopped during the pandemic and have never returned. So you have to stock up with refreshments before.

You can also see the border when crossing the bridge. The bridge trusses are painted red and white and then blue and yellow at the border point. It is only a very short stretch, so you have to look out for it to catch it. 😁

Some interesting enginering projects along this line. Øresund Fixed Link. Malmö Citytunnel Newly opened 4 track section between Malmö and Lund. Planned tunnel under Helsingborg replacing a single track tunnel. Newly opened 250 km/h stretch between Maria (Helsingborg) and Ängelholm. The Hallandsås tunnel New tunnel under construction under Varberg replacing a slow single track line. Västlänken tunnel under Gothenburg under construction.

FACT Regarding the 'rubber-front' of the train: The rubber is pumped with air and when the train reaches around 80km/h it will form an invisible cone in front of the train, making it extremely aerodynamic. I have personally seen a butterfly sitting peacefully on the outside of the front window whilst the train was running at 180km/h ....

Just to be pedantic. The Swedish X2000 is not an EMU. It is a loco and carriages and a driving trailer at the end.

As a Dane myself I cannot read the departure board in any other countries than Denmark because it's so different

Interesting, I didn't know these trains came in an electric variant in Denmark. In Belgium we also have an electric variant of this train, they are nicknamed "Danish noses", although commonly also referred as "those with rubber bands" by the general public. They are really comfortable, I use them to go to work a few times a week.

We have done kobenhavn to Stockholm twice. Both journeys were great and very scenic. The first trip was in year 2000 to celebrate the Oresund link; the second was in 2009 on our way to Stockholm to take the Gota Canal. Both journeys involved reversal at Malmo. We are repeating the journey in reverse next month and I am excited at the prospect of straight through running at Malmo.

Great video, had happy memories of visiting Copenhagen railway station with my parents way back in 1982 when my dad was working in the city. The restaurant there did an amazing all you can eat buffet and Tivoli is just across the way.

Besides making it easy to connect multiple MUs together, in theory the turbulence that is generated inside the inflated rubber nose creates an aerodynamic bubble that makes these trains almost as aerodynamic as a pointy train, but this effect only really works above 120 km/h and then stops working around 200 km/h. Since these trains are limited to 180 km/h, they essentially run just below the limit where they aero-cone collapses.

Central Kungsbacka is mostly a commuter town for Goteborg, however there is a nice town square with a particularly convivial bar/restaurant on one corner. Lots of nice coastline around there.

7:52 swedish trains runs on the left hand track while Denmark uses right hand track - so there is a overpass in Malmö to fix that.

Back in 2001 I have traveled from Copenhagen to Malmö and than with the X2000 to Stockholm. There were no passport controls at that time. And Malmö station was still above ground. But more interesting was the ride to Copenhagen. I chose to take the EC from Hamburg to Copenhagen. It was the same type of train, but diesel version. At Puttgarden on the isle of Fehmarn the train drove on the ferry to Rødbyhavn. Today the train no longer goes on the ferry. But they are building a road/railway tunnel now, to be opened in 2028. That makes a quicker car / rail link from Germany to Denmark.

Its a shame you got to ride on one of the non-renovated units, especially since all units were renovated by the end of 2023, you must have been really unlucky (or lucky depending on your perspective :) ) Some of the main differences are: New livery (you can see one at 13:35) New interior including completely new first class seats. Underseat power outlets for all seats Vending machines were replaced with bag storage and a better wheelchair/accessibility area. (As far as I know, the vending machines were already out of use)

The Öresund-link opened 1/7 2000 !

5:36 I remembered Simply Railway once a night he was stuck there because night train passed throught.

I have done this line a number of times. To an intermediate stop Angelholm. However have experienced lots of delays, cancellations, short terminations and packed out services. But when the trains run they are pleasant and the seating is good! Malmo and Helsingborg are beautiful places on the route!

I did this 2 years ago from Copenhagen to Malmo. Long weekend in CPH and then off to Malmo for a gig.

Another great video.

I well remember as a young kid spending around a month travelling around Europe by train. It was early to mid 1970's if my memory has not totally failed me here. Part of our "tour of Europe" was making a crossing from Copenhagen to Stockholm. Of course there was no tunnel/bridge complex in use at that time the train boarded a ferry and crossed over to Sweden.

Nice little video. For someone who’s traveled this route in both directions and in varied lengths, it is nice to see someone enjoying it for the first time.

"Why so strange" Because they are independent units that you can still connect together and have walkways where the cockpit is. The cockpit just moves over.

This video showcases the old interior configuration. The new 1st class seats are anything but an improvement. Indeed, the seats in 2nd class are now more comfortable than those in first. Go figure.

Thanks. Did Copenhagen to Malmo in 2001, on the newly opened link. It was a Sunday and all shops in Malmo were closed!

Weirdly located power socket, train designed pre-date how common cell phones have become, it was more for the people who had a laptop/similar, for which the power sockets worked rather well, plug in leave the bulky part of the power supply on the arm rest and you're good to go, no cable mess under the table for you or others to trip over or pull your laptop onto the floor.

Thanks for the video 😊

Thank you for this great video!

Great Video

The Öresund fixed link has improved comunication between Malmö and Copenhagen, but long distance travel has not improved. Back in the Nineties there was a direct train from Oslo to Hamburg. That included two railway ferries. The travel time Hamburg Oslo was then shorter than it is now. Now you have to change trains in Gothenburg and Copenhagen and you need to plan ample connection time.

Every time I see these trains while driving our motorhome I can't stop thinking of escaped wagons on the run...🤪

This line certainly has a quite interesting mix of scenic attractions! At at about 12m 45s you showed the brief stretch by the sea just north of Helsingborg station. Then at circa 14m 30s you showed the seven kms single track seaside section immediately south of Varberg. However this section will soon be replaced by a new double=track tunnel.

I should had know when you was here, then i was giving a warm welcome at the station..

I have always considered the design of the Öresundståg train as the design of a vacuum cleaner.

What an interesting video as always. Less than £50 for a journey of 3hours 50 was it?. That’s good value. Shame about the catering, but not the end of the world. Must put Scandinavia back on my bucket list.

Pretty empty train on this trip but I would be fine with that, lol. Another great video, thanks.

Very weird to see this train almost empty... whenever I the connection from Kopenhagen to Kalmar in Sweden, the Öresundtrains were always close to booked out.. And you are right, it gets REALLY cramped when fully booked, due to little legroom and 2+2 configuration even in 1st class.. I love how smooth these trains go, but traveling in them for more like 2 hours, I don't really find even close to comfortable, sadly.. got an old IC 1 from Copenhagen to Hamburg onward, and even in a packed 6er compartment including luggage, it felt more spacious and comfortable, due to the wider and softer seats. I admit, it might be a bigger issue for me, being vlose to 190cm tall and very heavy, but still.. Anyways, a very nice review as always, even more as I know these trains pretty well. Greetings from Kiel, Northern Germany!

There is a nice alternative route, from Copenhagen to Helsingførs and take the ferry to Helsingborg (the Swedish side), 20'. And then choice of the Øresund train or (different ticket) Swedish snabbatag (fast train). Tickets for Swedish railways can be bought in Pressbyran stores and they look just like till receipts. Seven-Elevens in Denmark sell many types of ticket too.

This train is the best-furbished in all of Denmark, but the train always gets crowded and I have to stand

I bet the Øresundståg company will be very happy if they watch your video! Great job!

Buy ticket, get on train, cross water, get off in another country. No one-hour check in, no tedious security, no crowded waiting area. Watch and weep, Eurostar.

I like that wheelchair/bicycle space.

I've watched a documentary on how the Øresund Bridge was built, it was on youtube, and it sure was beneficial to both countries when it was proposed to be built

I saw one of those in Gothenburg, it is really cool Hope you got to ride some trams there

Thanks!

Great trip. 2-2 for both First and second class aren't good, but since the price between First and Second Class have little difference, so okay. Sadly only vending machine and no trolley service onboard, so you need restock supplies for this trip.

Yesterday I traveled from Gothenburg to Stuttgart (distance: 1.300 kilometers). I paid 61,10 Euro for the train ticket. Øresundståg is a great train. Kind Regards Martin

the train is a part of the flexliner family of trains

Tak for turen og informativ video. Jeg har mest brugt tog på Sjælland, Lolland, Falster, Fyn, Sydjylland, Østjylland og Midt-og NordVestjylland, så jeg mangler hele Vestjylland (Vestkysten)og Nordjylland. Og så har jeg og familien også kørt en del med Skånetrafikken, selvfølgelig 😻 Der var godt nok mange informationer i video, men man kan jo altid selv søge det op på net. Forbindelsen forbinder Amager med Skåne 😹 Med behagelige hilsner fra danmar😺

the limit of 3 unit is only in Sweden, in denmark you can have 5 units, the limit in Sweden, is because of the lower voltage in the overhead powerline, supplying the train. In denmark 5 unit is not used in passenger service, because of the length og the platforme.

I have just seen an IC12 (4 times connected IC3), passing the Storebælt, and the reason for the strange noses (To be able to walk through all of the train, when connected). They are also able to be separated during the ride, if going to separate places after a common ride. The Tunnel part is of course because the passing of the Airport and landing and starting planes.

This train reminds me alot like the AM96 trains, used in Belgium

I have traveled from Prague to Stockholm in two days (with some days rest in Kopenhagen). From Kopenhagen I took also the Oresundstog to Malmo, and then the direct intercity to Stockholm if I remember it correctly. The last one was a SJ X2000. The trip was comfortable and a lot of fun. I plan to go with the Snälltaget one day, sound fun :)

In Israel ic3 worked 1994-2024 very beautiful and fast train but expensive in technical services

SNCB in Belgium had some similar rubber fronted trains too.I think that Israeli Railways have some like that as well.I went on one of those rubber fronted trains years ago but they didn't have a bridge/tunnel then and drove the train onto a ferry between Denmark and Sweden.

I first went to Malmö before the bridge and my host in Sweden took us on a ferry tour of the Øresundbroen piers as the roadway hadn't been completed I have since been on the bridge several times the last time was memorable for all the wrong reasons We had booked Stockholm to Copenhagen direct service on the way back from a holiday in Finland. Before Malmö they announced the train was terminating on the Swedish side so we had to transfer to the shuttle trains of Øresundtåg over to Copenhagen. We as a result of the delay arriving in Malmö and the slow connecting train we missed our connection in Copenhagen and spent four hours waiting in the great hall there - with the fabulous hammer beam roof. We did an interesting version of Gothenburg to Oslo once. Travelling by local train to Strömstad, then taking the ferry across to Norway at Sandefjord, climbing the hill to the station then coming into Oslo by local train. The day we travelled was a very wet day and on the local Swedish train were a load of British punks. They all got off at a little station on this line and were going to a Punk camp / festival. They did not look happy that they were going to be camping under the rain LOL.

"Snelltojet" Oh dear Oh by the way Kungsbacka means kings hill... but if you want to be down to the word it means kings reverse!

Done Copenhagen - Malmo many times. Also done Malmo Halmstad about 7 times. Only ever had my passport checked once on the train.

The Øresundståg and IR4 are the best danish trains. The comfort of IC3 but without the noise from the diesel engines.

The fares seem to be cheaper than the UK, but this is a similar distance as that from Manchester to London but takes a lot longer. Equally, this is the kind of train I'd expect to see on a commuter route in this country. It seems you can't have reasonable fares, quick journey times and well equipped trains.

as a gothenburg resident I'd say this footage must be at least 2-2,5 years old. got 2 new skyscapers since.

@10:17 Worth noting the Danish style earth sockets, despite being mostly on Swedish rails. As these were used on the line from Copenhagen to Elsinore. (And a story about one of many railway scandals lurks...).

These trains at times exceed the maximum service speed of 180 km/h. The highest recorded speed that I have documented is 187 km/h, but I can recall seeing 194 km/h on a trip I unfortunately didn't save.

Ótimo vídeo lindo trem 1:07

How do they hide the driver compartment then linking train sets? Here in Norway they only way to move between linked train sets is to wait for an stop and move to the other train.

Nice video, to bad you did travel with the renovated train. You did see the renovated version in Halmstad.

It's also one of the most unreliable train services I came across, I commute daily between Malmö and Helsingborg and take now the slower Pågatåg as they're more reliable. Always delays and cancellations for many different reasons. If you you book early enough, the trip with Swedish railway (SJ) from Malmö to Gothenburg is much cheaper and the trains are also much nicer. On 1st class you get complementary coffee and water and there's a Bistro on board....

the only international train lines from sweden apart from through denmark is the vy Bm-74 from Göteborg to Oslo and SJ snabbtåg Stockholm to Oslo, then you have the Meråker line to Trondheim and the link Luleå-Narvik

I always wondered why they didn't get new trains when they opened the bridge. I believe these are the IC3 trains from 1990.

The train isnt Strange - its innovative (LOLLs) - and as you correct mentioned, it secures free passage between the Train-sets - but it seems kinda strange at 1st look.

That's a perfectly normal train.Nothing strange about it. Used it myself when visiting Copenhagen. Although you actually don't want to go to Malmö it could be a part of a bigger trip.

0:56 Don't call the old harbour 'Marina'....

Was the "Mind the gap" announcement "borrowed" from the London Underground?

That thing looks weird lol requests: Can you review ScotRail class 380 desiro on a journey to Largs? And when you get to Largs I suggest going into either fish works or nardini for something to eat And there is also a ferry to Millport (Cumbrae slip), which takes around 10-20 minutes for a run on the loch shira ferry (Caledonian MacBrayne/calmac)

Tring to get from Stockholm to Gothenburg was very confusing for me. All website information was telling me there were no trains due to trackwork and it was not possible to buy a ticket. I couldn't even find any trains around the trackwork area. Finally, I found out (I forget how), that there were, in fact, a limited number of trains going there. SJ do not have accurate information on their website. It may have been Omio that I got the proper information from.

I took one of these trains from Copnhagen to Stockholm, changing at Malmo back in 2005. The fun experience was being on the train, as it literally took a ferry. Yes, there were train tracks on the boat. That was cerainly a novel experience. Perhaps the bridge had not been open at that time.

I recently had a bad experience with Øresundståg over the weekend. I was traveling from Gothenburg to Copenhagen, and the train was delayed by around 20 minutes. This delay led the train operator to cancel the train in Helsingborg, leaving us stranded and unable to catch our night train from Malmö. We had to take a cab which cost us 2000 SEK. I'm uncertain if we will ever be reimbursed for this expense.

I'm a bit dissapointed that the main thumbnail and title of the video is about the cab/connection but you didn't go to the end and connection to show how it looks from the inside with the cab in place and out of the way. 🥺😢

Bro next journey in Pakistan railways please

Regarding international trains within Scandinavia, the services between Copenhagen and southern Sweden, up as far north as Gothenburg on the west coast and Karlskrona and Kalmar on the east coast are good - generally hourly. See European Rail Timetables tables 735, 745, 746. However Copenhagen to Stockholm is only about every two hours and takes about 5 hrs 20 mins (ERT 730). Stockholm to Oslo (ERT 750) is only 4=5 trains a day and they take about 5 hrs 30mins. At least Gothenburg to Oslo is now every two hours, but these trains still take 3 hrs 30 mins for a distance of only about 200 miles. (The numerous express coaches along the E6 between Gothenburg and Oslo do the trip in less than four hours.)

I would like to see the Akita Shinkansen! For next time you go to Japan :3 Or generally the other, smaller Shinkansen lines.

The recording must surely be pretty old. The unit youre on is an unrennovated X31 and those are all extinct now. Every unit has been renovated which includes a new livery, a new interior with an enlargened flex area, but the vending machines have been removed, refreshed 2nd class seats and brand new 1st class seats, identical to the ones on MTRX' trains. Plus the fact that the renovated unit you see at the end still had a DSB logo on makes it very clear that this is before DSB transferred Öresundståg to Transdev in late 2022. So is this video from all the way back in 2021? If so this review isnt particularly represensative of what the product is like these days at all. Also some notes. Copenhagen Central station sees NO SLEEPER TRAINS! The only Sleeper trains serving the city, the Snälltåget service to Berlin in the summer and Austria in the winter stops at Ørestad and Høje Taastrup, and the SJ Euronight Berlin/Hamburg Stockholm stops exclusively at Copenhagen Airport. Also Snälltåget have started extending some of their daytime Stockholm-Malmö services to Copenhagen, with 1 train per day going to Copenhagen Central, and the first and last train of the day starting/ending at Ørestad and continuing to Berlin as the Night train. And yeah you better stock up in advance for trains going to Denmark in general. The Öresundståg used to be part of DSB and DSB in general does little to no onboard catering. They currently have a person walking through the train selling snacks and instant coffee from a tray onboard Lyntog and Eurocity services for small portions of the total trip but thats it. And the future IC5 EMU's and Talgo sets (the latter being planned for routes as long as a new 9 hour long service from Copenhagen to Amsterdam starting in late 2025) will only feature vending machines and nothing else. And only a single vending machine and single coffee maker for a whole 15 car Talgo train.

Du borde testa Y2 tågen, som är väldigt lika med X31. Men med diselmotor.

In the US, 7/11 sucks. Quality is poor, prices are high. They do have a good deal for huge cups of soft drinks. $1/32oz cup.

Well that’s one never to get on the bucket list

Kungsbacka ... Kung = king , backa = reverse (or more correct slope) - "Kingsreverse"

you should do a review on the newer sets!

Sold in Spain, it overheated, of course...

Swedish SJ provide a better service between Malmö C and Göteborg C with a bistro and very comfortable seating.

Every year in november i go to Liseberg in göteborg and den ve ride from malmö to Göteborg and ve ride with sj and it kost around 400 or 600 normaly 400 kronas for 2 tickets to Göteborg from malmö with sj x3000/x2000 and for 2 tickets with Öresundståg is 600 kronas or 800 and sj is de high speed train company in Sweden and there trains go 200 and de x3000 it can go 300 but it only goes 200 same with x2000 but it can go 350kmh but it only allowed to go 200 so u go faster with sj and der cheaper weird right?

Most stations seem so empty, except Göteborg

Thanks for an interesting video about a line I have travelled on many times since I first visited Gothenburg in 1993. There is nothing particularly unusual about the 'rubber nose trains' used on the Oresund sevices. As we briefly saw at the beginning of the video, Denmark has a lot of 'rubber nose' trains and they currently provide most of the internal Danish Inter-City services. (But they no longer run to Hamburg.) Nearer home, Belgium has a lot of trains with this 'rubber nose' design.

Great video 😊 for the text about translation, You need an article in Swedish, Talar inte engelska must be written as Talar du (singular ) or talar ni (plural) inte engelska ? (...),

That title smells of click bait 🎣 it doesn’t seem at all strange !

What I remember about the Oresundtag (this was quite a while ago) was Swedish people trying to smuggle alcohol and Swedish tax collectors trying to catch them. I only went as far as Malmo though, then changed to the sleeper train to Stockholm, which was nice.

Was ist da seltsam?

actulike this train ngl

WHAT WAS THAT TERRIBLE STAIN ON THE DOOR IN THE BATHROOM! 😵‍💫

The trains are OK apart from the terrible ride quality over the bogies including in the first class. Good seat and window alignment. The seat reservation system is badly thought out. "Can be reserved" is not informative. The route to very unreliable.

How do any of these trains make revenue when you have such empty trains.
