Jönköping

Today I'm making a short trip to Jönköping

Christmas decorations at Stockholm C

X2 train to Malmö

X2 trains for Malmö/Köpenhamn do now usually stop at Katrineholm, but this one does, and it is a long stop - 20 min

The reason is that there is bridge construction near Norrköping, so the train is taking another route through Hallsberg and Motala

Due to timetable adjustments our train has to let other trains pass, like this one

X74 MTR Express to Göteborg do not stop in Katrineholm

X55

The railway to Norrköping (to the left) would be the usual route, but not this time

Another unusual stop is in Hallsberg

Nobody seems to get off or on here in Hallsberg

Today I'm trying the warm food that is available on board X2 train - pasta with tomato and pesto

A microwave oven is available in the bistro coach

Åsbro

Motala

Lake Vättern

In Mjölby there are many passengers that would normally get on this train in Norrköping or Linköping

Nässjö
