Traveling on NEW SJ EuroNight Train Stockholm to Hamburg in couchettes

Today I’m traveling onboard SJ New EuroNight Sleeper train from Stockholm Centralstation down to Hamburg Altona. Come along as we check out what service is offered onboard this new service that had a trouble full start. The train was supposed to have both couchettes sleepers and seated wagons but those are still not in service! Watch the video to find out why ;)

Hey Simon! Great that you enjoyed your trip on our train! I was your conductor that nigh and you might have caught my back in one shot 😅
Glad my passengers are enjoying the trip as much as I do. You're right, we're still in our start up phase and will continually ramp up and improve our service. Thanks for the praise and for any valid criticism. Safe travels and much fun on the rails, always. And hope to see you you soon again!

09:55: Green Button with the left/right arrows ('↔' ) is open/close the door.
Below: Red Button with the key symbol ('🗝') is to lock/unlock the door.

Took an evening train recently after an evening out in Stockholm that was a night train heading to Malmö, although I exited in Norrköping. I am not sure if it had carriages that might have gone further south. Being able to leave Stockholm at 23:17 in the evening and arrive in Norrköping before 1 ish at night, or 6 ish in the morning in Malmö is a great concept, I hope the service is good for the ones that choose to have a sleep in a proper compartment so that this service continues. Great for the ones like me that love a night out in Stockholm with friends at a bar or a restaurant.

Thank you for this video. I want to do this later in the year and I am all too happy you can lock your room.

Always good to see sleepers coming back but they are being brought back way too slowly, imho. The amount of flights daily that could perfectly be replaced with night trains is insane.

It is unusually clean for SJ. The trains going to Northern Sweden are known for their mould.

I travelled in the times of the "Alfred Nobel" train on the bird flight line. The last train travelled in late summer or early autumn 1994.

What is better for the train is a 15kv 16.7hz DB ÖBB SBB 15kv 16 2/3 hz SJ NSB 25kv 50hz DSB Denmark locomotive from Malmö down to Hamburg Hbf that way the locomotive change at Padborg is not used instead a driver switch occurs there.

I am actually on board this train from Hamburg to Stockholm. Booked 2 months ago, apparently the only couchette with WC.
WC is locked and not working.
The whole coach (24) has to share one WC since also one of the two common ones, is also not working.
Heating is off and cold air is blowing from ventilation unit.
General appearance of the train brings me back to my interrail trips at the 80s.
Too bad for an extremely ecoensive ticket of
almost 500€ for a family of three.
The video is nice but not the train, sorry...
Photos are available, but I cannot upload them...

If you want to close the toilet door I think you have to press the green button again. The red one would be for securing it.

the carriages and locomotive look very similar to CFR ones.

What!? Only 540kr? For me, a journey that is about 6-7 hours long, costs like 1200kr! That is from my hometown to Stockholm.

I am planning to travel with 3 huge Suitcases. What about Luggage storage ?

[LRONMedia]

[kaisersoce]

Is this night train still running? I had heard that it was discontinued?

[Tarik]

I remember riding one of these back in 2004 or something... Must have been a discontinued and then recontinued thing nowadays...
