Lund, Stångby, Östervärn, Linköping

Today I'm doing a short visit to Skåne

As usually, I'm taking Snälltåget from Stockholm to Skåne

It's nice and sunny this Friday evening, unfortunately it will be grey weather on Saturday

The next day I'm in Lund

Green Cargo 79324 with Rd2 1100

Green Cargo 5711

Rd2 1083

Two months after inauguration all trams had to be sent for repair, this is the first one that is back in service

The reason for the urgent repair can be viewed in this photo, due to many bicyclists in town, the trams had to brake suddenly which caused the wheels to become broken. I think that the citizens of Lund have to make sure to not make the trams use the brakes in the future.

My hotel is offering in-room breakfast, a bit unusual that works too

Station birds are having breakfast too

Hector Rail 40973 with 441 001 "Cyborg"

I'm taking the local train one stop north of Lund to Stångby

DB Cargo Scandinavia 70809

Since January this year, all freight trains traveling from Sweden to Europe have to be divided into two types, one with heavy containers that are allowed to pass through Denmark, and the other type with lighter pocket wagons with semi-trailers that have to go through Trelleborg. This one has heavy containers

185 323

Super lightweight container is still heavy enough for Denmark

One heavy container on this train, the rest are the semi-trailers

Stångby is operated only with Pågatåg line Kristianstad-Hyllie

From Stångby it is also possible to take the bus to Lund

At Östervärn in Malmö I'm expecting to see some trains traveling to/from Denmark

Lunch

DB 44720

EG 3112

Many trains today on this route, the reason is that there will be maintenance works on the bridge and the traffic will be disrupted for almost 24h

The new transportation method is very convenient, it takes less than 10min to go between Malmö C and Östervärn with e-scooter

Not only DB trains arriving from Denmark
