After all the whining, I ended up happily in Malmö a tad past 1 am. What a glorious moment to have proper rye bread (well, knäckebröd, but it certainly counts) for breakfast! And pancakes in the #FirstClass lounge! My reservation is for the night train in ten hours, but a reservation is a reservation.
Copenhagen for the day, and then off for Stockholm! Why am I Malmö then, you may ask? Even if you don't, I'll tell you: money. Hotels are way less expensive here.
Instead of traveling straight from Durham to Blackpool, I did a detour via Edinburgh. You know, because I can. #Interrail. Let's just say: Edinburgh is quite vertical.
I wanted to revisit Edinburgh after ten or so years, but also have some #FreeStuff dining on my way and back. So far, I prefer LNER meals to Avanti. They both taste great, but LNER is a bit more... mealy.
Moving on to England!
I accidentally found the #LNER #firstClass lounge at King's Cross and dashed in, spending my extra 20 min between trains. Quite full, basically just beverages and bisquits (dry and excellent like British humour) available. But a very good alternative to the crowds at the common areas.
LNER to Durham is nice, but going so fast I have to hold on my glass of red wine and drink it as fast as possible to avoid spilling.
