The ticket was not available in EnglishI travelled from Copenhagen to Stockholm by train. I had a stopover in Malmö on the way.
Both trains were very punctual. Departure 1st train at 8:14 on 02/06/2024. the second from Malmö to Stockholm at 9:17.
I particularly liked the cleanliness of the trains. There was also enough comfort. The seats were nice and big and there was enough room for the suitcases.
I didn't have a seat reservation, but there was plenty of free space.
The service was also great. As I didn't know my way around the airport, I asked a member of staff for help. She was very friendly and competent.
