Hello Danmark.
Hello Europe's (imho) least pleasant station, Copenhagen Airport.
The stink of jet fuel greets you even before you leave your incoming train.
A breeze picks up as you wait on the platform and you assume the air will freshen. But of course that air is also filthy with jet pollution, so the only relief is when you stop noticing the noxious fog.
Never mind the climate emergency, why do we allow local air pollution like this?

Oh, and the only seating is evil slippery sloping metal benches that are impossible to sit on, and must be freezing in winter.

I wish I did have only 8 minutes here (toots passim) but on the other hand, the 300 metre transfer from temporary platforms 11/12 to main station platforms 1/2 is so badly signed that I am glad I allowed 30 minutes.

Moan moan moan.

Completer-finishers among you may like to know that my 8-minute connection train was on time into Malmö but left 10 minutes late, and was running 6 behind when it left the Swedish rail network.
So no chance I could have made the Danish train from CPH, even though it had looked tantalisingly feasible all day.
That sleeper train ticket was €50 well spent.
