The @diningcar.at on Norway's brand-new FLIRT NEX, man I can't wait to enjoy a warm cup of tea here as the snowy landscapes pass by... 😋 (By the way, proper dining seats are just behind the camera in the first photo!)

And then, finally, a good train! We're on SJ's old but very cozy loco hauled Intercity service towards Oslo. The train features a bistro car, coffee supply is provided. 🥰 #HullerOmBullar

A quiet and cozy ride in a comfortable seat through beautiful landscape in the soft late afternoon light. This is exactly how I like my train trips! 🥰 #HullerOmBullar

After Kil, the Värmlansbanan curves through a hilly landscape with countless lakes. The sun has just set and all is illuminated by a magical light! 🥰 Fortunately, we can enjoy this a little longer as we (again!) don't cross the border to Norway and leave the train at Arvika. #HullerOmBullar

#Sarajevo 🇧🇦 station, one early morning in September 2008. In the foreground we see the train bound for #Ploče 🇭🇷 by the #Adriatic Sea, via the scenic Ivan Sedlo mountain pass line, Konjic and Mostar. In #BiH, a #ŽFBH Class 441.3 electric is hauling the train composed of former Swedish #SJ carriages.

#İzmir 🇹🇷 #Alsancak station in June 2010. A #TCDD overnight service has arrived from #Ankara, hauled by a Class DE22000 diesel. Engineer and Conductor are shaking hands. This is what railwaymen and -women do in many countries, at the beginning or the end of a shift, wishing each other safe travels.

Not exactly a photo of a European cross-border high-speed train, but it is almost as international as it can get. This is a #Subotica 🇷🇸 to #Szeged 🇭🇺 service at #Röszke, worked by a Serbian Railways Class 812 #Šinobus of German design, displaying the #Uerdingen diamond on the front. 📷 August 2012.

Good bullar don't grow on trees, especially not where I live. The price to get one is travelling 1000 km north on rather unreliable lines. Trick No 1 is to cross Germany by night: Delay is less bad, if it means more sleep. First time in the new NJ sleeper, and I like it. #HullerOmBullar

I have no idea what a smart mug is, but they indeed paid attention to detail for the new X2000 interior design. As usual with SJ Snabbtåg, there is no ticket check as long as you're sitting on your reserved seat, so it is a very quiet ride up the Västra Stambanan to Katrineholm. #HullerOmBullar

The Snälltåget service to Oslo is an entire rake of former DB carriages. To my great delight including "Krogen", the train's @diningcar.at, which is one of the peculiar former German IR Bistros. Breakfast time! 😋 Preordered breakfast includes a cheese sandwich and a Kanelbulle! #HullerOmBullar
The peculiar interior of the Bistro car with low and high tables and benches in half moon shapes. Swedish and Norwegian flags hang from the ceiling. Two people queuing at the counter. Krogen from the outside, already in the signature red Snälltåget dining car livery. Coffee, Tea and Milk for self service on a shelf. Two red Snälltåget mugs in front of them, green landscape on the other side of the window behind it.Bullar (!) and coffee on a table in front of the Window, flat grassland and the sea outside.

#Lupoglav 🇭🇷 is a major stop on the #Istria railway line to #Pula, and still a quiet place this afternoon. A single #HŽPP Class 7122 railcar is awaiting further duties. Built in 1980 by #Fiat, this unit originally served as #SJ 🇸🇪 Class #Y1. This is why it’s nicknamed “Šveđanin” by local railfans.

"Someone's sitting there!" My seat for the 20 minutes under the sea. On a eurostar train, both Train Managers have to sit in the vestibule of the extreme coaches for the duration of the Channel Tunnel transit. It means that we are in position should an evacuation be necessary.
