I did that trip in reverse, some 44 years ago. I don't remember changing trains. It was a direct connection between Copenhagen and Amsterdam. We must have had a ferry instead of a tunnel. I don't recall it, I was too tired (see below). But I do recall that it took one hour less in total. No stopovers save a lot of time, more than the ferry took, apparently. I do recall it was hot and I was sharing a cabin with a fellow Dutchman who was a professional gambler and had a flu and was glad he could talk Dutch to me. He did so for 11 hours.... and he did not want the window open because of his fever. No AC in the trains back then. I came from Stockholm, walked from Copenhagen Central to the harbor. I missed the last ferry from Gothenburg to Copenhagen. I was a poor student and had to sleep in a park on a bench, which did not work well with 6 deg C and fog. After that and the hot cabin with the talkative gambler I was so tired that when I finally was home in Haarlem, I slept for 24 hours almost without interruption. It was not a journey I would like to repeat.

Wow, what an incredible story! Traveling has definitely changed a lot over the years. Your journey sounds like it was quite the adventure, especially without the modern comforts we have today. I hope you didn’t get the flu from your Dutch fellow traveler. It was really nice to read your story, and I feel we have something in common-I live very close to Haarlem and we both did this journey. If you feel like it, you should do it again to relive old memories and make new ones. There is a sale with Interrail until July 18 with 20% discount. Just keep in mind, when you buy, you should use it within a year from September.

The 2nd class carriage attached to the BLS electric locomotive is not a variable gauge one and, once the GPE arrives in Zweisimmen, it is uncoupled together with the locomotive. In other words, it is a shield carriage between the variable gauge composition, equipped with automatic coupling, and the BLS locomotive which is equipped with classic screw couplings

DSB has bought new waggons for the Copenhagen - Hamburg line. They are testing them right now, and it is done at night. But here is a video showing a test. The video title: "Testkørsel af Talgo-vognene". As you can see in the video, it is with a push-pull configuration, it will also be the configuration when in normal operation. The reason is that the steering waggons will arrive in a year or two later. So with a total of 17000 HP, it should be possible to get these lightweight Talgo waggons over the bridge at Rendsburg. Normal operation is expected to start in January 2025, MAYBE December 2024. So DB can get their waggons back next year.

Thanks for the information! It's exciting to hear about the new Talgo wagons and the push-pull configuration. Can't wait to see these in operation by January 2025 (or maybe even December 2024). I expect some changes in the Netherlands too, as we're also going to have these trains running to Berlin. It would be great if they could extend to Hamburg, making it much easier and faster to take the second train to Copenhagen 😊

great views, but -alas- I prefer a short plane flight; this takes too long and is also very complicated. there should be direct trains from (e.g. Amsterdam or Schiphol) towards Copenhagen in high speed (or at least a comfortable 'sleeper' during the night as it was before in the 'Nord Express' or the 'Hook - Copenhagen' express with a dining car and private sleepers of course).
@LetsgowithDКүн бұрын
Thanks for sharing! I get that flying is quicker and easier for some. A direct high-speed or comfy sleeper train between Amsterdam and Copenhagen would be awesome.

It’s a great pity that more of these ferries were not built, as this would allow sleeper passengers to board an overnight sleeper train at Hull, Leeds or Manchester Victoria, travel to Liverpool or Birkenhead and go on sleeper services to Dublin (North Wall) for the 8 hour crossing across the Irish Sea - the current SailRail options from Manchester Piccadilly via Chester, Crewe or Lladnuo (change trains) and Holyhead to Dublin is exhausting and the rules around this on the Welsh Railways need to be dropped - it would be even better if such a ferry was to use one of the freight lines around Dublin Port to finally arrive in Dublin Connolly or Dublin Hueston

I agree, having more ferries like the one from Villa S. Giovanni to Sicily would make travel much easier. It would definitely be more efficient and convenient if such a ferry system could be implemented more for routes like the one you mentioned. But maybe in the future, it will change if it gets more popular in Europe. Sometimes I read articles where I get the feeling they want to focus more on trains than airplanes for the environment. The railway system in England is new for me, and I'll be taking some journeys there in November.
