@larstransportworld Oh good grief. When Swedish long-distance night trains are delayed, they are seriously delayed.
Edit: Or is this a joke? Can’t see that delay on https://www.sj.se/trafikinformation/tag/93?date=2025-08-22
@[email protected] Jönköping ain't called Little Jerusalem for nothing. When I lived in Värnamo, some 60 kilometres south of Jönköping, I had an 800 metre walk between my flat and my office. During the walk I passed four churches. The most prominently placed church in the town is _not_ the Lutheran one.
@mcnknopp It's so it looks like a worm.
Oh, and to easily connect multiple ones. The window inside the rubber is actually an entire driver unit. It swivels out of the way to create a corridor: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/110745124929906800
Attached: 2 images Some photos for passenger #train enthusiasts :-) The #danish IC3 and electric IR4 trains have an design where multiple units can be connected into one fully walkable tube worm. For this the entire front of a train, including driver controls, can swivel into a wall. Like many components the front is a fully modular unit. Here's a unit that was in a fire. Before and after photo. Rest of the train took a bit more work but it was also fully restored :-) Yellow structure is a transport frame.
