Today I'm traveling to Västra Götaland region, I will visit 3 stations around Borås.
Today I will take MTR Express

1st section of the train looks like all the others but with less passengers
Breakfast is included just as when traveling with SJ
Almost as fancy as SJ breakfast, but the sandwich is already prepared

My next train is from Borås to Viskafors
Viskadalsbanan railway between Borås and Varberg will be closed for maintenance from August 2020 until August 2021, so I'm visiting it before reconstruction. The renovation will include new rails, sleepers, and catenary and will make it possible for freight trains to use the line.
