Älmhult, Nässjö, Tranås

This time I decided that my trip back from Malmö to Stockholm would go with several regional trains instead of one high speed train.
First I'm taking Öresundståget from Malmö to Hässleholm.


Hässleholm
Due to the railway works, the road between Hässleholm and Osby was closed, so I had to take a replacement bus.
This X31 train continues to Karlskrona
Replacement bus is waiting on the other side of the station


Passengers travelling with high speed trains got off in Osby, for other passengers the last bus stop was in Älmhult.







From Älmhult I'm taking Krösatåget to Alvesta. In the case without railroad works, this train would depart from Hässleholm.
X11 3175

Alvesta
Two Krösatåg trains


SJ Regional kust till kust, from Kalmar to Göteborg
Rc6 1347




Riksdagsmannagården
The old courthouse





Minutes after taking this picture I could see Swedish prime minister and his staff arriving to Alvesta by train. It's just some weeks before the election and it's important to visit different parts of Sweden.
X14 3233 is my next train from Alvesta to Nässjö



Nässjö
Sunny weather switched to heavy rain


Nationalist party is present here in Nässjö. They got 22,91% of the votes here in Nässjö, which is higher than the overall number.

Monument for the Swedish people emigrating to USA during the beginning of the last century. Something to remember for all who votes for the nationalist party today.

Stortorget




After the rain, I'm visiting the railway museum in Nässjö




This museum is organised by Nässjö railway association - Lokstallet

The museum has many old coaches, which are occasionally used for heritage trips

Stadsparken





City hall


My third Krösatåg train today is this X14 3236. Unfortunately the waiting time both in Alvesta and Nässjö is long so the option of travelling from Malmö to Stockholm with local trains is taking a lot of time.



Leaving Nässjö, here is a Traxx locomotive from Hectorrail

My last train today is this X40 from Linköping to Stockholm
