I'm back home after a 12 days long journey by train from Sweden to Portugal. I will travel through Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Spain.
My journey starts after spending Christmas holidays in Närke, just like last year. Back then I was travelling from Degerfors, this time it will be from Laxå. Before my trip starts, I'm spotting some trains near Svartå, at Värmlandsbanan. Here is an Rd2 from Hallsberg to Grums.

Since the Christmas day was a Monday this year, many people decided to travel back home already on the 25th, all trains I was taking this day were full booked.
Some passengers refused to get onboard

My next train is an X52 to Nässjö.
This was a 2 coach Regina train, and it was packed with passengers.

My next train is an X2 from Stockholm to Copenhagen. Arriving a little bit late.
Most of the passengers got off in Alvesta, Hässleholm and Lund. From Lund the trains was much emptier.
Malmö
Öresund bridge
Platform 26 is still used in Copenhagen.
IC4 train will be my next train to Høje Taastrup station, where I will stay at the hotel.
I decided that this year I will try to only travel by train while it is daylight, which does not give me much time each day. On the other hand, I am travelling south, so each day I get about 30 min more of daylight.

During the evening I'm taking a train to Copenhagen to visit the town.
