Here’s this morning’s intro video from Haparanda
There will be a train this morning, but the incoming one has a small delay…

OMG 😳
I cannot believe this
We get to Kalix, train doesn't go
Turns out two passengers don't have tickets, and the train manager is trying to kick them off
I'm stressed, go check what's happening, and one of the two starts swearing at me... in French!
And I then, as calm as I can as this might totally mess up my trip, reply back in French that we need the train to go.
And then after more swearing he leaves, and we're away +5.
And the Luleå - Boden - Umeå is LATE heading towards Boden
And it has to turn around there...
Might this still work?
My train is +4...
Also credit where it's due, 1409 is an amazing tool
Gives delay at interim points as well as stations

It worked! They switched sets in Boden, so I don’t even have to leave the train I was on. #LongestTrainEU continues towards Umeå! 🥳
The WiFi on this leg of #LongestTrainEU is broken. And the train goes through the middle of nowhere. So I’m just going to admire the view 🙂
Data on the trains will follow once in Umeå
There is a train!
