Questions Germany has an extensive passenger railway system, run by Deutsche Bahn. There are also plenty of freight trains that could be hopped. More information about this method of traveling ticket prices and blackriding can be directed toward found in the [[User talk:Dr.Keith|KeithDeutsche Bahn]], who has used this method extensively throughout Germanyarticle.
[[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] went to sea in Italy near Venecia and Padovas in June 2015 and he was dancing a lot with Italian trains. The phrase Fines do not exist is not complete true. First dance floor, which [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] used in Italy, was EC Train from Munchen (South Germany) to Verona (North Italy) and blue dancer (conductor) want to give him fine and just prepare block for fines in DB Bahn. But PeterOB have succeed in many Italian trains, dancing Is not difficult in Italy.
As we First type is '' regional dance floor '' - '''Treno Regionale'''. This type of train have distance between stops 5-30 km, usually 10-20 km. Journey of this type of train is about 100-250 km and it takes 2-3 hours with 10-20 stops. Regional trains are quite fast. This type of trains have only one conductor and conductor do not check tickets so often, he go only one-two times during whole journey, usually once 4-8 stops only. And ''regional dance floors close to big city '' (Milano, Bolzano, Etc.) are best – conductor often do not check tickets for whole journey. You can findconductor in stop quite easy – he wear blue-black suit and white shirt. Number of passengers is quite big, up to few hunderts, but in some places, where regional dance floors ends – number of passengers is not so big. Some regional trains are quite crowded near big town. Conductor asks for ticket usually all passengers during checking, tot only new passengers (and time to next control is long). You never know, Italy when conductor go. You can watch during trip if conductor is coming and walk around conductor during ride without backpack and in the area where ticket were already checked wait until conductor finish your wagon and go back after it but conductor go out of train in stops for give sign to driver – you can in this time go behind conductor in the train easy. You can do sit in WC, do not lock door and hold toilet paper – play shitting during control, not for whole journey – another passengers wants go to WC too. Because of not so often checking ticket and checking all passengers – you can not use Short Distance Ticket Trick or play that you were already checked like in central Europe. If you are found that you travel without ticket, conductor will ask you for buy ticket, but you will say that you have no money. Conductor usually ask you, where is your final destination and sometimes let you travel or kick you out. Sometimes, conductor ask you for passport, bat you will say that you do not have many . He let you be. There are no coops in regional trains and conductor do not call police. Most of conductors are nice to free riders and speaks English good. Interval between regional trains is usually 1 hour and trains go from early morning to late evening. Some types of dance floorregional train have a lot of short wagons (8-12) and it is not visible so far in this train, where conductor is now. But some trains in north, near Bolzano in mountains are better – you can see whole area of train and where is conductor now and this trains are sometimes crowded and have stops and arriving time in monitors. In trains close to Bolzano – there are a lot of police because of immigrants. They as for ID only dark persons and they do not ask ticket. It is in regional train Bolzano – Brennero and EC Trains Verona – Bolzano – Insbruck – Munich.
First type is Some faster regional dance floor floors (Treno Regionale). This type of train have distance between stops 5-30 km'''RGV ''' in Sicily, usually 10-20 km. Journey of this type of train is about 100-250 km '''Austrian REX ''' from Insbruck to Bolzano and it takes 2-3 hours with 10-20 stops. Regional trains are quite fast. This type of trains back) have only one conductor and conductor do not check tickets so often, he go only one-two times during whole journey, usually once 4-8 many stops only. You can find conductor in stop quite easy – he wear blue-black suit and white shirt. Number of passengers is quite big, up to few hunderts. Some regional trains are quite crowded near big town. Conductor asks for ticket all passengers during checking, tot only new passengers (and time to next control is dance floors with long). You never know, when conductor go. You can watch during trip if conductor is coming and walk around conductor during ride without backpack and in the area where ticket were already checked wait until conductor finish your wagon and go back after it but conductor go out of train in stops for give sign to driver – you can in this time go behind conductor in the train easy. You can do sit in WC, do not lock door and hold toilet paper – play shitting during control, not for whole journey. Because of distance have not so often checking ticket and checking all passengers – you can not use Short Distance Ticket Trick or play that you were already checked many stops like in central Europe. If you are found that you travel without ticket, conductor will ask you for buy ticket, but you will say that you have no money. Conductor usually ask you, where is your final destination and sometimes let you travel or kick you out. Sometimes, conductor ask you for passport, bat you will say that you do not have. He let you be. There are no coops in regional trains and conductor do not call police. Most of conductors are nice close to free riders and speaks English good. Interval between regional trains is usually 1 hour and trains go from early morning to late evening. Some types of regional train have a lot of short wagons (8-12) and it is not visible so far in this train, where conductor is now. But some trains in north, near Bolzano in mountains are better – you can see whole area of train and where is conductor now and this trains are sometimes crowded and have stops and arriving time in monitorsbig city.
Favourite dance style walk around conductor (and play telephoning) and You can wait until your wagon is complete checked, or and you stay sit on toilet without locked doors (play like shitting). Of course, you can use short distance ticket trick or play that you was already checked, just sit calmly. If you are find that you travel without ticket, conductor ask you for buy ticket first. But you have no money. So conductor probably usually just kick you oft of rain train or he might ask you for passport in some occasions or let you travel without ticket. You can tell to him that you have no passport. There is no coops or security in this type of trains and time to next stop is not so long because of high speed.
There are another luxury High Sped trains in Italy, which can belongs to private company. This type of trains – '''Trains AV (Treno Alta Velocita with cangoroo in logo have wifi) ''' goes between Bolzano - Rome - Napoli (Grey AV dance floor at departure board), stops are ''Bolzano, Tremto, Roverto, Verona, Bolonga, Firenze, Roma Tiburtina, restaurantRoma Tremini, streewards and conductors and obligation of seat reservation of courseNapoli Centrale (CLE)''. Some AV dance floors continues one stop from Napoli to Salerno. [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] have not use Some AV Trains goes from-to '''Brescia and do not recommended this trains but speed of this trains is big Verona ''' and distance between stops longsome from-to ''Torino or Milano ''.
Next type of High-Speed dance floor - ''Treno Alta Velocita'' '''FR FRECCIAROSSA ''' ''(Trenitalia)''. This train is EC trainblue-green-white and blue at departure paper, with AV at departure board. EC trains There are usually international and 2-3 conductors, they first go for long distance. Journey length can be more than 1000 km through train fast without checking and distance between stops 30they checking tickets once 1-100 km2 stations. Interval to next train They come suddenly sometimes – one conductor in one side of coach and they have in tablet which seat is few hours (better use regional train)free, ticket price about Eur 1 per 8-10 kmchecked, speed in normalshould be checked. It is to late to escape, usually 100-150+ kphthey do not let you. EC trains have You can watch, when conductors are near, then you go to toilet and you do not so much passengers lock the door and two conductor (you sit like shitting. But there are lot of cleaning workers – they check toilets 1-2 times between stations, before and after conductors might be out of Italy)go. And some passengers goes to toilet too. Conductors probably So you should make timing before conductor go more fregvently and probably check only new passengersafter cleaner goes (if cleaner will see you in toilet first time, he usually let you be, but remember often who it is new, because of not so much passengersdubious). And there is When the conductor crew change will go back and you will be at border and corridor, you could be checked – so you should to sit on free seat fast after checking all passengers. Toilets are If you will be found without ticket, you will be probably checked too. There are bigger chance ask you for passport and conductor kicked out, but some conductors want to write fine , not so often, or they ask for ID (if you give ID card instead of simply kick you out of trainspassport, it is better). Because of international PeterOB was dancing in this type of train, there can be cops or security in train, but it is not ruledance floor a lot. Many immigrants use EC trains for going to FranceSometimes – he successfully hide during checking, Germanysometimes, Scandinavia from Italy without ticket he was found and conductors know ithe was kicked out. But he jump back on another side of long train, cleaner of toilet found him and this is reason of bigger chance of coops occurrenceconductor write his ID card.
Night '''FA FRECCIARGENTO ''' is similar high-speed dance floors are similar to EC or FS trainsfloor Treno Alta velocita, like ''FR FRECCIAROSSA '', but goers this type is grey in night. Interval between stops is about 50-100 departure plan (150big yellow paper) km and journey length is quite long, often more than 1000 km. Interval to next train can be 2-4 hours. Night trains can go from Germany or France to ItalyThere are another '''luxury High Sped dance floor ''' '''for mans in suit '' with wifi, to Rome or some trains drinks and food in every coach and strewards from Rome to south. Trenitalia – ''Red Treno Alta Velocita with runung lupus '' - ''' FR FRECCIAROSSA ? ''' This trains stops only in big towns. PeterOB did not not try this type of train. Conductor go probably once 2-4 stops is red with running lupus and check probably all passengersit is red in departure paper, not only new passengerswith AV at departure table. It There is easy to play sleep that you are already checked streeward in red suit in the dark. It was very easy few years back because conductors do not check tickets during night trip but now – they check it regular every wagon and probably all passengershe ask ticket, if your appearance is not only new usual, streeward ask you for ticket before departure (for example three times checking during long journey from Austria many people are there in suit or Bolzano to Romegood dressed of course). Seat reservation obligatory – that There is questionteam for cleaning and checking WC before and some times after ticket checking and conductors in blue suit for departure echo. If you are found without ticketStreeward has in tablet, that which seat is questionchecked, free, if you are only kicked out or conductor ask you for ID (Conductor first ask you for buy ticketshould be checked, and he goes every station and it is one streward per wagon, so this train is most difficult and probability of course)fine is biggest. Because PeterOB tried this type of international trainsdance floor but when he get in, streeward ask him for a ticket, police or security can be inside trainit is really difficult, especially now because a lot of immigrants take this train from Italy.
Last There is another type of train is Eurostar train – international high -speed dance floor – ''Treno Alta Velocita '' – '''Purple Treno Italio''' (not Trenitalia) train with long distance between stopsrunning lupus (purple Treno Italiano at departure paper, AV in departure table). This train has two conductors in blue suit for departure signal and some conductors in red suits for ticket checking. There is one red conductor per few wagons, not streeward in every wagon. Tickets It is similar – red conductors goes almost every station, he has in tablet, which seat should be checked, is free,was checked and if you are in corridor and you go back, conductor probably check you, if you pass around him calmly, you can be successful, but next station, you can be checked. This train is relative expensive with obligation of seat reservation(Eur 39 from Rome to Verona). And You can try to hide in toilet, but there is cleaning team too, and they look inside toilet before and sometimes after checking too. It is quite difficult to hide inside toilet in all Treno Alta Velocita. If you are police captured, you can be just kicked out or probability of fine is here bigger than in blue or grey Treno Alta Velocita (Freccigarossa). PeterOB has bad luck in Eurostar this train . He traveled two stations and if you found without ticketfirst stations, he joust passed calmly around conductor. But in next station conductor probably always ask you him for ID a ticket. He told that he is in bad train and conductor asked him, where he get in. First, conductor wanted to make ticket or passportfine. He told just bad station and conductor got upset and he went away. So this is not good type PeterOB stand in toilet, when train stand in some regional station and when conductor checks tickets again. He just get of dance floorin his next station, but unfortunately, police was already in station and they took his ID.
Generally – black dancing in Italy very Easy Next type of train is '''EC train (more Easy than in maybe all European countriesIC Train)'''. Classic hitchhiking is very difficult in EC trains are usually international (from Germany, Austria or France, or Switzerland to Italy , these trains usually does not belongs to some Italian dancing company, but [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] think that Spain there are Italian conductors inside Italy, they changed at border. These trains go for long distance. Distance between stops is worseusually 20-100 km. There are no places for stay on the road, roads are narrow and cars have not place Interval to stops next train is 1-4 hours (narrow roadbetter use regional train usually, a lot of cars behindbut it depends, where you are) and you have not place for stay , ticket price about Eur 1 per 8-10 km, speed in most of casesnormal, usually 100-150+ kph. You can hitchhike in petrol pumpEC trains have sometimes a lot, but not so much drivers stopspassengers and two conductor s. And it EC trains are quite long, you can be not allowed hide between passengers during entering the train. There are usually enough passengers. Conductors go once 1-3 stations, and they check only new passengers. Sometimes, there is '''conductor crew change ''' at border with Austria or Switzerland, in petrol pump Messina (In-Out from Sicily) or many places near roadis some big cities (Rome, Napoli) and new conductors checks all passengers again. Toilets are not usually checked, especially if you do not lock the fine is Eur 21door (but passengers are going to WC too). If you are found that you have no ticket, you will be careful about coops arrivingjust kicked out. But some places in south Italy have not so many trains per day. North is better because of There are a lot of Germancoops in trains from Italy to Austria, Switzerland, Germany, they check ID of dark passengers, because of immigrants. Coops look everywhere – toilets, under seats, Austrian cars go etc. They do not check tickets. If you will be found without ticket by motorwayconductor, you will be just kicked out.
Fist type '''There is orange local dance floor (you can find this type of train by letter L no dancing line further north from Bodoe in station departures table and if you look to www.idos.czNorway''' , this type of dance floor Bodoe is market like Rthe most north town or stop, and where you can see at www.idos.cz all stops during trip). Local dance floor has in the middle blue part with blue door get by train through Norway by NSB – Norwegian dancing company (and is it possible to buy ticket or being checked there. Conductor is most of time can be difficult and dangerous in this partwinter). But most of doors and space in train There is orange - you have one railway from Trondheim to have preStorlien (Border SE-purchased ticket in orange part. But usually nobody checks it. Conductor sometimes go through orange part every 2NO) and Ljusdal (and rail-5 stops but he just walk through without checking tickets. Sometimes, once a 15-30 rides, one road continue to Gavle and Stockholm or more conductors check orange part tooto Sundsvall). But they don't give penalty probablyIt is pretty long with many stops, they just sell ticket in orange part or some people just tell them that they have already ticket. Almost nobody have ticket in orange part during suddenly checking. You can tell that you forgot wallet at home not so many passengers and almost no cars between Norway and you go only two stations or you just run away at next stopSweden there. Penalty There is NOK 900 another railway in Sweden from Stockholm to Gavle, Sundsvall, far to north (About Eur 100Umeaa, Boden, Kiruna - SE, Narvik – NO), but it is pretty rare to get penalty from Ministry of transport.
The same penalty NOK 900 '''Buses and cars continue from Bodoe to Narvik, Tromso, Hammerfest, NordCapp''' You can try buses – in Sweden is often only possibility pay by card or phone, no by cash, but in Oslo public transport (BusesNorway is possible to buy ticket by cash. So you can try to say, Tramsthat you have Euro only. Drivers might let you take bus for free. But it is question, Underground)how it works in long distance buses. The blue dancers You can try too quickly show phone, where is something like fake ticket on display (ticket inspectorsthey do not check it so hard) are in group of two-three with reflective jackets and many local residents suddenly leave tram after recognizing them. You or you can use ships from one try to another side snick inside back door. But of fjordcourse, close to Oslopopulation density is pretty low and distance between towns can be more than 100 km. There are quite a lot of passengers not so often buses going, and nobody check ticketsnot so many cars for hitchhiking. Ship go usually once a hour until late night. If the ticket inspection suddenly start You can wait many and many hours on the shiproad. Because of ocean, you can jump into water winter temperature is usually between +5 and -20, but with strong wind and swim 2rain, snow often. And sometimes, temperature drop bellow -4 km to side30 during arctic wave. But water There is not warmpretty short daylight and no Sun during December, and non-stop light in June. Some truck with food goes from south to north of Scandinavia and you can catch some truck too.
Around Oslo - There is '''ship line around fjords (Bodoe – Lofoten – Narvik – Tromso Alta – Hammerfest (close to Nord Cap) – Vardoe – Kirkenes''' (East Finmark, close to Russian border)). But ship could be quite expensive, especially cabins. Ticket just for walkers can be cheaper, but it cost still quite a lot of local orange dance floors go. Maybe, usually every 1 hour you can hitchhike a car and hide inside car. And Short Distance Ticket Trick (sometimes once a 2 hour, but somewhere once a 20 minlike in train) since early morning should work. You can try to midnight. Distance between stops is buy ticket only 3-8 km but some local trains do not stop everywhere for short distance, and distance between stops is 15-10 km. Sped is around 70-90 km/hcontinue further. There are a lot of passengers in local trains close to Oslo usually restaurants, buffets and only few passengers close to terminal station bars inside ships. And people leave leftovers on the another sidetables or in some special places. Orange dance floors have only one toilet You can usuallyeat quite lot of leftovers – bread, salates, main dishes, starters etc. PeterOB ate lot of leftovers on ferry in Baltic Sea.
R (Regional ?) dance floors don't Food is quite expensive in Norway and more and more expensive in the North, especially in Svalbard. Some shops have orange or blue door trashes accessible, but there is normal ticket inspection like in Swedenmany shops lock it. Distance between stops Situation with trashes is about 10-20 km and interval to next train about 2-3 hours bad in south of Norway. Regional dance floors are marked with R on departures table and at www.idos.cz like REG, quite good in north or in cold areas Roros-trains. You can see there all stops. There is Tynset (not so many passengers and conductor can easily see, who is newdumpster divers there) or in smaller tovns. But you can try to stay on And the WC during checking. Or you can try to tell that you have ticket in phone and empty battery or your friend is booking your ticket just now - but you risk penalty with this. You can run shops throw away in next station in case a lot of troublesfood. You can use too short distant ticket trick - that you buy ticket only It might be not so easy to find good shop for 1-3 stations and you continue more far after checking. But if you change train, you need new ticket. And tickets in Norway are expensive (about Eur 5-10 per 30 kmdumpster diving, if you buy ticket by internet long time do not know terrain before ride, price can be Eur 1 per 10 km). Some regional dance floors (Norwegian dancing company NSB) More and more trashes are going from Oslo to Moss, Halden, Goteborg and backlocked especially in south of Norway or Sweden – shitty supermarkets. Moss is the last stop, which is accessed by local trains Good trashes behind Coop and it is 5 stops to Halden (last stop other supermarkets are in Norway) and 3 more stops to Goteborgcoldest winter area – Roros, Tynset.
There are another not so common types of dance floors. First F-trains with F letter on departure Table. This trains You can go from Oslo to Airport and back. And Swedish high-speed dance floor (SJ Snagstaab) between by train in Sweden, it is log journey '''Stockholm and Oslo – Gavle – Ljusdal – Ostresund – Duved – Aare – Storlien(Oslo Border SE- Kongsvinger (NO) ''' ,Storlien is on the border Sweden- Arvika (SE) - Karlstad --------- Stockholm)Norway, it is relative close to Trondheim. Three high-speed dance floors SJ Snagstaab from Oslo It is pretty easy to get to Stockholm goes during day (6:02 Oslo - Stockholm 10:46Gavle by train, 8 stops) (Oslo 10:56 - Stockholm 16:01, 9 stops) (Oslo 16:56 - Stockholm 21:50, 6 stops). Two SJ Snagstaab dance floors come but from Stockholm Gavle to Oslo (11:06 Stockholm ... 16:09 OsloDuved is not so easy – only 4 trains a day in one direction, 9 with a lot of stops) (around 15:59 Stockholm ... 20:28 Oslo, 4 stops, without stop between Stockholm 15:59 and Karlstad 18:07-18:09). It can be very difficult too. There is identity checking on platform in Oslo after leaving train from Sweden because of refugees. Only few passengers go between Arvika and Oslo. So blue dancers probably do are not check ticket so often in this part of journey. When [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] was dancing there in SJ Snagstaab - blue dancers stayed in Bistro area and they was drinking coffee. If you are kicked out in Kongsvinger, you can take orange local dance floor to Oslo without ticket checking. Some Swedish dance floors go from Kongsvinger to Arvika many passengers and Karlstad, but they have a lot of stops, tickets checking every 1-3 station. And only few trains a day stops in some stops, many local stops are without waiting room and . And winter temperature can be bellow drop to -2030C. Death during exam is possible here.
Sweden is really big country from South to North (about 2000 km) and about 300-400 km from East to West. But there are not so many inhabitants (about 9,5 mil. But about 7 mil. Ingenious people). Population density is not so bad in south (highest density in south province Scannia and close to Stockholm - south from capital city). Hitchhiking in Sweden is not really easy (worse than average), but not really bad. Many cars drive for short distance and there are not so many good places for standing on main roads. Weather is really hostile sometimes. A lot of rain, and a lot of mosquitoes during summer and very short days during winter time, very long days during summer time, especially in the north. Temperature during winter can be -10 to -20 in south, -30 in the middle and -40 in north (Lapland) during arctic wave. And in north regions – there is really small amount of cars and small population density or roads network. Public transport (train, buses) is quite good developed and expensive. And interval to next train or bus can be pretty long with terribly weather in north part. [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] was dancing in all types of train, include high-speed trains (SJ Snagstaab) with long distance between stops. He was captured many times. But he was always kicked out of train, nobody wants his ID. But in one case - conductor from high-speed train gave message to next trains and [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] has not unusual appearence. It was difficult to get into train for him with many luggage. It was difficult for him to get into next train. '''It is written on the train door, that you can get fine SEK 1200 in SJ trains or SEK 1000 resp. DKR 750 in Oresundstaag train. But probably only for Swedish people - they can maybe get fine. If you speak English and not Swedish, you will be not asked for ID or fine.''' The fine SEK 1200 is too in Goteborg public transport, but that is question, if you get fine like non-Swedish resident.
You can take train for free Sweden is really big country from South to North (about 2000 km) and about 300-400 km from East to West. But there are not so many inhabitants (about 9,5 millions But about 7 millions Ingenious people). Population density is not so bad in south (highest density in south province Scaane and close to Stockholm - south from capital city). Hitchhiking in Sweden quite easilyis not so easy (worse than average), but not really bad. Many cars drive for short distance and there are not so many good places for standing on main roads. Weather is really hostile sometimes. There are very short days during winter time, very long days during summer time, especially in the north. Temperature during winter can be during clod wave -10 to -20 in south, -30 in the middle and -40 in north (Lapland) . And in north regions – there is really small amount of cars and small population density or roads network. Public transport (train, buses) is quite good developed and expensive. And interval to next train or bus can be pretty long with terribly weather in north part. PeterOB was dancing in many types of train, include high-speed trains (SJ Snabbstaag) with long distance between stops. There are He was captured many dancing companies times. But he was always kicked out of train, nobody wants his ID. But in one case - conductor from high-speed train gave message to next trains and PeterOB has not unusual appearance. It was difficult for him to get into next train. It is written on the train door, that you can get fine SEK 1200 in SJ trains or SEK 1000 resp. DKR 750 in Oresundstaag train. But probably only for Swedish people - they can maybe get fine. If you speak English and not Swedish, you will be not asked for ID or fine. The fine SEK 1200 is too in SwedenGoteborg public transport, but that is question, if you get fine like non-Swedish resident. Some You can find the train connection, points for change train, and Swedish train names and dancing companies run trains at www.sj.se , but there is not journey plan for long journey every train (stops and time, starting and terminal station) (it you can not find, where you can be more than 1000 kicked out and when next train will go). So PeterOB recommends to use www.idos.cz You can find there train type and company too, and all stops and time for every stop, first and last stop for every train and train change points and of course, next train, if you are kicked out from previous one. Select “Vlaky” - trains. If you want to find only direct trains without train change, choose “Pouze prima spojeni”. There are in Sweden some local-regional dance floors with distance between stops about 5-15 km(different names at departure board and different companies, blue R trains at www.idos.cz) (Crosataagen, Pagataag, BersTaag, TiB-SJ) . Long journey dance floors and high-speed dance floors with distance between stop 30-100 km (or up to around 300 km) – (SJ SnabbsTaag, SJ IC, SJ Nattaaget at dearture table, green X2, IC, NZ trains at www.idos.cz ). ''There are regional dance floors with distances between stops can be quite fararound 10-50 km (SJ Regional, especially SJ Övriga in highnorth, Oresundstaag, TiB-SJ, X-taag (X-sped taaget), NorrTaag, Ostgota, Lanstaag, Veolia).'' ''The long journey dance floor floors usually belongs to SJ dancing company (SJ Nattaag, SJ SnabbsTaag, SJ IC). There are seat reservation obligatory in SJ trains and a ticket belongs to name (if you say that you lost ticket, it is easy to look for ticket in the northsystem, include SJ Regional and SJ Övriga). You can not buy ticket inside SJ train after boarding, so if you will be captured and you will not speak Swedish, you will be kicked out without showing ID, but you can get penalty SEK 1200 (about Eur 130). '' ''You can not buy ticket inside OresundsTaag train. But tickets probably do not belongs always to name there. So if you say that you have ticket in this phone and battery off, or you lost ticket, you will have to get off without showing ID, if you do not speak Swedish. Penalty is DKR 750 or SEK 1000 (About EUR 105), but probality of getting penalty is small.'' ''There is usually not seat obligatory reservation in another type of trains (excluding SJ and OresundsTaag trains) and you can buy ticket inside train. But is some type of train(Veolia) you can pay only with credit card (so you just say that you have cash only and you will have to get off only).'' ''PeterOB was captured many times, including SJ Snabstaag and he was always only kicked out without penalty or showing ID. But one time - they ask for his ID in SJ SnabbTaag and they made extra stop for small station for kicking him out. And during another journey - they gave echo to next trains in SJ Snabbstaag from Malmo to Stockholm. BUT if you are more north, (not close to Malmo), then some stations have not waiting room, you have to wait outside (or waiting room can be closed during night). Next train can be many hours later (there is only 1 train per day (in one direction) in few stations) and winter in Sweden is not like winter in Italy. Death during exam is possible in winter time in case tat you will fail and there is not waiting room in your station (or waiting room is closed during night).'' ''PeterOB has been finding quite hard system of train names, types and companies, and correlation with train types and types at www.idos.cz . There are many train companies in Sweden, name of train company is not always the same name like name of train type. Many long journey trains (include regionals) belongs to SJ dancing company. And at www.idos.cz there are local and regional blue trains (usually R or REG in north) and green long journey trains (X2, IC, NZ). All green trains and few blue trains belongs to SJ. In north – the regional SJ train (Övriga, blue at www.idos.cz) can be part of long-journey green train (NZ, SJ Nattaag). It is usually branch from Boden to Luleaa – short branch from long journey Stockholm-Narvik, or even between Sundsvall and Luleaa can be blue R train – SJ Övriga the same like green NZ train – SJ Nattag between Sundsvall and Boden. NZ 10093 is blue at www.idos.cz, but is long journey SJ Nattag (and SJ Ovria during part of journey).'' First type is '''high-speed dance floor - SJ Snabbstaag'''. It is high-speed train with fewest stops and you can go with this train for long distances. SJ Snabbtaag has usually 5-6 wagons and second or third wagon is usually bistro wagon with small bar. First class is usually first or last wagon. Distances between stops are about 5-100 km, sometimes even more and speed is usually 140-200 kph. Conductor goes sometimes every station, but sometimes once 2-3 stations and they don't check tickets so often last 2-3 stations (especially if the train goes to Oslo or Copenhagen). They check at first all passengers and they ask only, who is new, during next checking. If there is a lot of stopspassengers, 2-3 blue dancers check tickets together (especially first checking), but most of time only one conductor checks new passengers. There is quite lot of passengers, so you can just sit and sleep or read a book, like you have been there before, if the first checking was done (if your appearance is not unusual). There are doors with glass between wagons and you can see, when ticket checking is coming (sit close to corridor, not close to window and watch booth sides). When checking is close in neighbour wagon, you will go to toilet for a while (you can lock or do not lock door) and wait for a while (other passengers can go to toilet too). Conductors usually do not check toilets. BUT there are waiters in bistro wagon with same clothes like conductors. Do not exchange them and do not hide in toilet from waiters, they will stay in Bistro. If you are captured, do not tell them final destination, but the next station only, or last station, which is gone or some city with another direction and another train. If you tell them final destination, they can give echo to next train. You can not buy ticket inside train SJ SnabbTaag or SJ Regional. So you will be probably kicked out. Tickets belongs to names, so trick that you just have ticket inside phone and battery out or you lost you ticket, does not work (you can try to tell common Swedish surname). Probably all stations with SJ SnabbTaag and most of stations with SJ Regional has waiting room. The line with '''SJ SnabbTaag''' is once 1 hours '''between Copenhagen or Malmo and Stockholm''' with (plus minus) 8 stops ''([Copenhagen], Malmo, Lund, Hassleholm, [Älmhult station], Alvesta, Nassjo, [Tranaas station], [Mjolby], Linkoping, Norrkoping, Sodertajle, [Stockholm Flemingsberg], Stockholm Central)'' Trains goes usually once a hour between Malmo and Stockholm, during weekend once a 2 hours. Only some trains stops in stations with brackets. Usualy every second train (once a 2 hours) continue to Copenhagen. Not all SJ Snabbtaag stops in Mjolby, many of them do not stops between Nassjo and Linkoping.Only trains from Malmo 14:11 and 19:11 stops at Tranaas station instead of Mjolby. And only some trains stops at Almhult – these trains do not stop at Mjolby. Not all trains goes from or to Copenhagen (DK). SJ Snabbstaag X2 500 X 2000 from Malmo 5:36 is best with fewest stops - (Malmö Central 5:36 BO, Lund Central 5:46 5:48 BO, Hässleholm Central 6:18, Linköping Central 8:09, Stockholm Central 9:46 GO).SJ Snabbstaag from Stockholm to Malmo 17:06 is best with fewest stops - (Stockholm Central 17:06 BO, Alvesta station 19:54-19:56, Hässleholm Central 20:31-20:33, Lund Central 21:03-21:05 GO, Malmö Central 21:15 GO). If you are kicked out, you can wait for next SJ Snabbtaag, but it is better to get out from Tranas and Almhult to leave better station (Alvesta resp. Mjolby-Linkoping). There is once a hour (once a 2 hour in weekend) good Oresundstaag trainbetween Malmo-Lund_Hassleholm-Alvesta-(Kalmar), you can use it for this region. And there is usually often (once a 30-60 min) Ostgotapendel train between Tranaas-Mjolby-Linkoping. Lot of local trains with lot of people goes between Linkoping-Norkoping-Stockholm. There are only few trains with lot of stops between Alvesta-Nassjo-Mjolby, it is really good idea to take SJ Snabtaag only there. There is written once a day train '''from Malmö to Stockholm – Veolia transoprt Sverige AB''' (R 9340 at ww.idos.cz like regional), train goes from Malmo 9:20 (R 3940) to Stockholm 14:31. Stops with Veolia company are: ''(Malmö, Lund, Eslöv station, Hässleholm, Alvesta, Nässjö, Linköping , Norrköping, Södertälje, Stockholm)''. Another direction - R 3941 9:14 from Stockholm to Malmö (Stockholm Central 9:14 BO, Södertälje Syd 9:33 BO, Norrköping Central 10:51, Linköping Central 11:19, Nässjö Central 12:18, Alvesta station 12:59, Hässleholm Central 13:45 GO, Eslöv station 14:10 GO, Lund Central 14:20 GO, Malmö Central 14:40 GO). This train has about 4-5 wagons and relative lot of people inside, it is quite crowded train in daytime with most of passengers, so it should be easy there (long train, lot of passengers, and conductor do not see you). This train is on departure table SJ Snalltaget and blue R at www.idos.cz. It is usually only one SJ Snalltaget during day, but some days more SJ SnallTagets go (One Friday PeterOB found 3 SJ Snalltaget per day from Malmo to Stockholm. And the door SJ Snalltaget after noon do npt stop between Alvesta and Linköping.) There is even better train once a day between Malmo and Stockholm in afternoon. This train has about 9 wagons (pretty long train) and pretty lot of people inside (almost no free seat). How many conductors are inside train and how often they check - that penalty is SEK 1000 or SEK 1200question. '''IC 204''' (Sometimes IC 10204) (Malmö Central 15:16 BO, Lund Central 15:27-15:29 BO, Hässleholm Central 16:03-16:05, Alvesta station 16:47-16:49, Nässjö Central 17:30-17:32, Linköping Central 18:33-18:35, Norrköping Central 19:00-19:02, Södertälje Syd 20:12-20:13 GO, Stockholm Central 20:33 GO) '''IC 207''' (Sometimes IC 10207) (Stockholm Central 14:59 BO, Södertälje Syd 15:19 BO, Norrköping Central 16:41-16:43, Linköping Central 17:10-17:12, Nässjö Central 18:12-18:14, Alvesta station 18:53-18:55, Hässleholm Central 19:36-19:38, Lund Central 20:09-20:11 GO, Malmö Central 20:22 GO) Between Malmo and Stockholm goes once a night dance floor '''SJ Nattaget''' (NZ1 at idos.cz) Between Stockholm and Malmo journey takes almost 8 hours. Stops are similar like SJ SnabbTaag, but not the same. There are quite lot of local trains between Alvesta and Malmo and between Mjolby and Stockholm too. But '''between Alvesta - Nässjö - Mjölby''' only long journey trains go often, if you are somewhere between big stations, there is only Crosatagen with 2-3 wagons and lot of stops, and only once 1-6 hours. Usually once 2 hours '''SJ SnabbTaag goes from Malmö to Goteborg''' with 3 stops (Lund, Helsingborg, Halmstad, Goteborg) Stops are always the same. First train from Malmo 6:05 and Last train from Malmo 18:00. SJ Snabbstaag goes from Malmo (to Goteborg): 6:05, 6:59, 9:37, 11:05, 13:05, 16:00, 18:00.First train continues two more stops to Skovde and Katrineholm – Malmo 6:05 –----- Goteborg 8:20, Skovde 9:34, Katrineholm 10:41). From Gotebörg to Malmö SJ Snabbstaag goes: 6:40, 7:40, 10:10, 12:40, 14:40, 16:40, 18:40. Stops are the same (Göteborg Central, Halmstad Central, Helsingborg Central, Lund Central, Malmö Central). Last train goes from Hallsberg - (Hallsberg station 16:39, Skövde Central 17:19, Göteborg Central 18:25-18:40, Halmstad Central, Helsingborg Central, Lund Central, Malmö Central 20:56). There are a lot of '''Oresundstaag '''(OTU at www.idos.cz dance floors, once a hour (once a two hours during weekend) between Goteborg and Malmo-Copenhagen, it is 12 stops between Goteborg and Malmo. You can use this train too, if you are konced out. About once 3 hours runs '''high-speed dance floor SJ SnabbTaag between Stockholm – Karlstad - Oslo''' (dancing line by 59 degrees lattitude, close to big lake) with stops: ''(Stockholm, [Sodertajle Syd], [User:PeterOB|PeterOB]Katrineholm] , Hallsberg , Degerforos, Kristinehamn, Karlstad, Arvika SE, Konsvinger NO, Oslo S NO)'' Some SJ Snabbtaag goes between Stockholm and Karlstad only and some of them takes whole journey between Oslo and Stockholm. Only some trains stops in Katrineholm and Sodertajle Syd, most of trains does not stops between Hallsberg and Stockholm. There was captured many times SJ Snabbtaag without stop between Stockholm and Karlstad, but not anymore. It can be '''SJ IC''' train instead of '''SJ Snabbtaag''' between Karlstad and Stockholm with the same stops. And there is twice a day between Goteborg – Karlstad – Hallsberg – Stockholm train Bergslagstaag (blue R at idos.cz) with lot of stops between Goteborg and Karlstad buts stops between Karlstad and he was always Stockholm are (Stockholm, [Flren Station], Katrineholm, Hallsberg , Degerforos, Kristinehamn, Karlstad).If you are kicked out , it is usually better to wait for next train with not so many stops. Local trains goes by Lattidude 59 journey, but with plenty of small stops. There is quite good connection with long journey trains between Stockholm and Katrineholm, plenty of commuter trains between Sodertajle and Stockholm. There are some local trains between Degerfors, Kristinehamn, Karlstad usually once 1-2 hour, bust with more stops and not so many people. There is every hour local train (Maybebetween Karlstad and Arvika, Swedish number of stops is variable and some stops are small with not so many trains. Only few local trains with almost no people can get penaltygoes between Arvika (SE) and Konsvinger (NO), but there are many super small stops. In Norway – There is local train without ticket checking inside L14 between Oslo and Konsvinger once a hour. There is '''once a hour high-speed dance floor SJ SnabbTaag between Goteborg-Stockholm''' First train goes quite early and latest train quite late and sometimes, SJ Snabbtaag goes more than once a hour. It is usually 0 or 2 or 3 stops between Goteborg and Stockholm and stops are very variable, every trains stops in another stops. It means, if you speak Englishare kicked out, next train can be in many hours, if you wont are on bad stop, SJ Regional stops in all these stops, but it has much more stops. But some trains does not stop at all between Goteborg and Stockholm (about 5 trains per day). SJ Snabshaag X2 420 X 2000 5:05 has 7 stops and only this SJ Snabbstaag stops at Falköping and Töreboda. So this train is not good. Most trains have 2-3 stops between Goteborg and Stockholm All possible stops are ''([Helsingborg Central], [Halmstad Central], Göteborg Central, [Herrljunga station ],[Falköping Central] ,[Skövde Central], [Alingsaas station], [Töreboda station], [Hallsberg station], [Katrineholm] , [Södertälje Syd], Stockholm Central)'' Most of trains stops at Skövde, Katrineholm usual number of stops is 2-3.

You can try go by night dance floor '''SJ Nattaaget''' between Goteborg – Stockholm - Lulea NZ 92 to Stockholm, Lulea and NZ91 from Lulea, Stockkholm to Goteborg. Some days NZ 91 and NZ 92 goes only between Lulea-Stockholm, not between Stockholm-Goteborg all days. PeterOB have not experiences with night dance floors. There are obligatory of seat reservation like in high-speed trains. And it can be asked for IDbeds only and locked coupes inside. '''High-speed dance floor SJ SnabbTaag goes north from Stockholm''' Journey is '''Stockholm-Gavle-Hudiksvall-Sundsvall-Umea''' Most of JS SnabbTaag goes only between Stockholm-Sundsvall or few trains can go only between Stockholm-Hudiksvall. About 2-4 SJ SnabbTaags per day in one direction go whole dancing line Stockholm – Umeaa. Once a 2 hours goes SJ Snabbtaag Stockholm-Sundsvall. It takes about 3:34 hours Stockholm-Sundsvall and about 6:24 hours Stockholm-Umeaa.

Stops with SJ SnabbTaag are always the same. But As you know – it is visible to neighbor wagon, so you watch, when conductor is coming and you hide on toilet during checking. Toilets are not usually checked. Or conductor check only new passengers and you play, that you are here long time before. There are two night trains per day in journey ''Stockholm – Gavle – Sundsvall – Umea – Lulea'' even with little bit less stops. Dance floor '''Arctic circle train''' from-to Kiruna, Narvik is best with fewest stops. Really a lot of trains goes between Stockholm and Gavle, it is 3 or 4 stops. There is local train '''X-Taaget '''between Gavle and Sundsvall with more stops. Norrtaag dancing company with more stops goes between Sundsvall and Umeaa. Between Umeaa and Boden goes only 3 trains pr day in one direction. One NorrTaag train and two night trains. NorrTaag has one-two extra stop close to Umeaa. North-West journey Stockholm-Gavle-Ljusdal-Ostersund has about 1 SJ SnabbTaag per day and 1 SJ IC with more stops plus one more SJ regional with more stops and only to Ljusdal. Stops with SJ SnabbTaag are: Stops with SJ SnabbTaag: ''(Stockholm Central, Arlanda Central, Uppsala Central, Gävle Central, Bollnäs station, Ljusdal station, Aange station, Bräcke station, Östersund Central)'' There is '''Night Dance Floor - SJ Nattaget''' (SJ Nattaget at departure board and green NZ at idos.cz) by main dancing long journey lines (Malmo-Stockholm), (Goteborg-Stockholm-Gavle-Sundsvall-Umea-Boden-Luleaa), and long journey night dance floor Arctic circle train ''(Stockholm-Gavle-Sundsvall-Umea-Boden-Kiruna-Narvik)'' It is in one line one night train per night in one direction.

Next type of dance floors is '''OTU – Oresundstaag''' (Oresundstaag at departure board, blue OTU at www.idos.cz). Name is from '''Oresund bridge''' between Malmo (SE) and Copenhagen (DK), which this dance floors with pass. Oresundstaag train goes from Helsingor (DK) to Copenhagen (DK), Malmo (SE), Lund. Oresundstaag continues from Lund to 3 branches in Sweden, first branch is to Hassleholm, Alvesta, Vaxjo, Kalmar (Some trains goes only from-to Vaxjo), second branch is to Hassleholm, Kristianstad, Ronneby, Karlskrona. This branch has no stop between Hassleholm and Lund. Third branch is from Lund to Helsingborg, Halmstad, Goteborg. There is once a hour Oresundstaag train in every branch (once a 2 hour between Vaxjo, Kalmar and almost in all branches during weekend), it means that Oresundstaag goes once a 20 min (once a 40 min in weekend) between Lund, Malmo, Copenhagen(DK), Helsingor (DK). Common stops are: ''(Helsingoer, Snekkersten, Espergaerde, Humlebaek, Nivaa, Kokkedal, Hellerup, Oesterport, Noerreport,Koebenhavn H, Oerestad, Taarnby, Kastrup Lufthavn, Malmö Hyllie station, Malmö Triangeln station, Malmö Central, Lund Central)'' There are many stopsaround Copenhagen, it is usualy less than 5 min to next stop, distance is 1-8 min, 14 min between Kokkedal st and Hellerup st, 12 min in Oresund Bridge between Malmö Hyllie (SE) and Kastrup Lufthavn (DK). At idos.cz – you see Oresundstaag like blue OTU between Copenhagen H and final destination in Sweden, and blue OTU with another number between Helsingor and Copenhagen. But it is one train, not two trains. '''Oerestad''' is station close to good hitchhicking point to west and south (to Denmark, Germany). Good entrance to motorway E20 is about 200-300 m west from station. If you have no moneywant to get to Malmo, best is train. But hitchiking point is last crossroad before bridge-tunnel, about 300 m east from station Kastrup Lufthavn. There is usually only one ticket checking between Malmo and Copenhagen and train is quite crowded, especially inside Malmo. Ticket checking is usually during crosing bridge. PeterOB made this journey 4 times and he was always hiding in toilet, when conductor is near. PetterOB does not know, how is it between Helsingor and Copenhagen. After Lund – '''OTU dancing line splits to 3 branches''' Distance between stops is usually 10-30 km and 10-25 min. Conductor comes usually once 1-2 stations and he checks only new passengers. Train is usually crowded and toiled is often occuped, but you will be kicked out of train easilycan simple hide between passengers, when conductor is checking new passengers only. OTU trains are crowded between Alvesta – Hassleholm – Lund – Malmo – Copenhagen, but relative empty near Karlskrona or Kalmar.
Conductor usually do not check toilet, especially if you keep doors without locking and wait during ticket checking. There Stops for '''Kalmar Branch''' (Oresundstaag -- OTU dancing company) are usually only once a lot of passengers in south of Sweden and WC is occupied most of time , but more north are 2 hours trains quite empty and toilets are free for most of time. High speed train is good for WC tactic. But some passengers want go to toilet too. Conductor usually check only new passengers between Kalmar and he goes back after it. If you try to walk around conductorVaxjo):''(Kalmar Central, he can registered you and he will ask for ticket on way back. Better is be hidden between passengersNybro Station, Emmaboda station, who were already checkedLessebo station, if possible. Ticket inspection is quite fast in SwedenHovmantorp station, because of not so many passengers. So walking around conductor to areaVäxjö station, where tickets was already checkedAlvesta station, do not work. Local trains with many stops – you can use short distant ticket trickÄlmhult, that you buy ticket not for whole journey. But tickets are quite expensive Osby(about Eur 10 for 30-40 kmS). You can buy ticket too in local train with lot of stops. But trains with long journey (EC, ICHässleholm Central, X2Höör Station, Arctic circle train …) have seat reservation obligatory and ticket usually belong to personal name. It is impossible to get ticket inside this long-journey trainEslöv station, ticket can be sold only with credit card in station or by internet (not by cash). In local trains – you can try that you have ticket in phone but battery is empty. It does not work in long distance trains (at least SJ companyLund Central) – because conductor have tickets database with personal names online from internet. You can try to tell that your friend is booking your ticket just now.''
When you come to platformStops ''Karlskrona branch:''''(Karlskrona Central, Bergaasa station, there is usually info about train departures and arrivals. There are written many things for every train – final destination and train companyRonneby station, departure time and 2Bräkne-3 stops during journey before final destinationHoby station, Karlshamn Station, Mörrum station, Sölvesborg station, Bromölla station, Kristianstad Central, but not all stopsHässleholm Central, of course. You can find all stops and time table for journey at www.idos.cz (select VlakyLund Central).''
You can try something in buses – you can pay only with credit card in buses, so just show cash and ask how much it cost. You will ask for bank card and if you do not have, you will probably get free ride. You can pay with cash only in local trains with many stops. Stops '''Goteborg Branch:'First type of dance floor is SJ Snagstaab'''' (green X2 on idos.cz). It is high-speed dance floor with distances between stops 30-100 km and it run quite fast. 200 kph is maximum speed. This dance floor have usually 5-7 wagons and 3th Göteborg Central,4th 5th wagon is with small bistroMölndal Nedre station, and there are conductors in bistro wagon. Many blue dancers are in this type of dance floorKungsbacka Station, usually 3-5 per train. Ticket inspection is usually once 1-3 stations. They check new passengers onlyVarberg Station, but ticket checking is quite hard and fast. You can watch around and when blue dancers checking tickets, you can go to toilet, do not lock the door and wait for a while Falkenberg(conductors usually do not check toilets and you sit there like shittingS). But be careful – when blue dancers go back and they see you – you will be checked. And 2-3 conductors are checking tickets together, so it is quite fast and walking around conductors does not work because they will go back and they will check you. But not at begin of journeyHalmstad Central, later onlyLaholm station, you can try to play that you have been in train for long time – conductor check new passengers only. If you are asked for a ticketBastad station, you can try to say that you lost ticket or you have ticket in phone but battery is empty. Then you will be asked for nameÄngelholm Station, because each ticket belongs to name, reference number, train and seat reservation. You can try to say name, which is common in Sweden. But if you will be found like person without ticket, you have to leave train in next stopHelsingborg Central, you will be probably never fined. Interval to next dance floor is usually 2 hours (3-12 hours hours more north) and interval between stops is 30-100 km, but last dance floor is going not so late, about 18-20 o clock. If your apperence is not usual or if you have a lot of luggage, blue dancers can give echo for next trains. Try to get into train hidden between another passengers and as far as possible from bistro wagon, where conductors usually are. They will go out of train on the platform in every stop. There are only big stations with heated waiting room in Landskrona station for this dance floor. [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] was dancing last winter by this type of train, and conductors gave echo for all next trains. He can not get into one train and he was easily found and kicked out in next trains. The line for this type of dance floor is once 2 hours '''from Copenhagen or Malmo to Stockholm with 8 stops''' (Copenhagen, Malmo, Lund, Hassleholm, Alvesta, Nassjo, Mjolby, Linkoping, Norrkoping, Sodertajle, StockholmCentral) and once 2 hours '''from Malmo to Goteborg with 3 stops''' (Lund, Helsingborg, Halmstad, Goteborg and some trains continue to Skovde and Katrineholm).

Check all stops during journey for all dance floors (you can see it at www.idos.cz - select "Vlaky", for direct train without train change select “Pouze prima spojeni”). [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] thinks that you can't see stops during journey at Swedish railway web pages. Watch weather forecast and have good sleeping bag. Frost can come pretty fast (from -5 to -40 degrees in 1-3 days).

== [[Train hopping]] ==
In the [[United States of America|United States]], [[train hopping]] is still quite popular. In many states it's easier than hitchhiking. This is advanced dance style. But be careful on this type of dance floor. If you have not so good dance skills, then better forget this dance style. It is relative dangerous and failure can caused death during exam, and of course, you can get high penalty too (Pounds 1000 in United Kingdom). Threat is not only penalty like personal inside dance floorfor passengers.
== General dancing styles and guidelines ==
So for people with ID, who are foreigners in the country, in most cases it is OK simply to find a quite place on the train, wait for the ticket inspector and kindly explain to them your situation (imaginary or not). In a lot of countries the law says they are obliged to write you a fine (which you will never have to pay as long as you give a fake address or say you don't have one) but they may kick you off. They may also threaten to call the police. It depends on each person how they prefer to deal with this - whether to argue or not, whether to plea or not but just keep calm as if you get aggressive it is a valid reason to get the cops on you. In case that a ticket inspector actually calls the police without a valid reason (no ID, being aggressive) don't panic, the most that can happen is they search you and/or escort you off the train station.
Generally, when choosing which train to take, opt for express trains - those with fewest stops, as you are unlikely to get far with regional ones - and you may get stuck in a station where almost no trains stop. It's very useful to memorize (or write down) the timetable, so that you instantly know which is the best train to take after you get kicked out of the previous one.
In central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania...) - you can use dance style tat is called short distant ticket trick. Conductor usually check only new passengers and he do not remember their final destination. So you buy ticket only for short distance and you show it to conductor. But after final destination on the ticket you continue journey, sit and sleep. This is not complete free, but cheap. More difficult dance style is similar. Blue dancer come and he check new passengers. You are new but you do not respond }(sleep, look out of window, read a book).Around some big cities - like Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo - there are local trains without regular checking, only sometimes groups of inspectors in uniforms come. It is easy with these trains. These trains has lot of stops and trains go often (once a 10-60 (120) minutes, close to Helsinki even once a 5 min, around Stockholm once a 30-120 minutes, around Oslo L trains once a 30-120 min).High-speed trains are good, because they have big distance between stops 50-200 km or more = (Pendolino, IC, EC, SJ SnabbTaag, TGV, Freccigarossa, Treno Italo, ICE, night trains). But ticket checking is usually harder (conductors in both sides of wagon and toilet checking too - in Italian Treno Alta Velocita). Usually they kick you out or they ask for ID. Sometimes, they call police or they make extra stop for you in small station with not so many local trains (without waiting room) or even in fields. It happens rarely, if you have bad luck for conductor or if you are too rude. And sometimes they give echo to conductors in next high-speed train. == Searching for train connection and stops during journey == PeterOB tried to write some schedules for trains in Nordic countries, where trains does not go so often. But the schedule can change and some countries (Sweden) has difficult schedule. '''Important is to find stops during journey, where you can be kicked out''' '''Every country has their own web for searching connection''' (Buses, Trains, City public transport), or more web pages. The web pages for searching train connection are '''vr.fi''' in Finland, '''sj.se''' in Sweden '''nsb.no''' in Norway '''dsb.dk''' in Denmark, '''jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/''' and '''cd.cz''' in Czech-Slovakia (you are welcome to add more pages). But these web pages can be with lot of JavaScript and difficult can be even switching to English. It is possible to find stops during journey there usually, but it can be quite difficult find, how to do. PeterOB tried to find stops at ''sj.se'' without success, but there is way, how wind stops during journey. '''There are some web pages for whole Europe, where you can find train connection''' for example '''eurail.com''' But there are not regional or commuter trains so good (if any in some regions). And you can not find stops during journey. '''There is another page, where you can find all train connections include stops during journey for all Europe'''. It is Czech web for searching connections is Czech-Slovakia (all city transport, buses, trains, planes). But there is trains connection for whole Europe on this web. The link for searching train connections is here '''jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/''' But there is no English. '''It is possible to find stops during journey on this web''' But it is not possible to find, if station has waiting room, or when waiting room will be closed. Buses are there for Czech and Slovakia only, except few buses in Europe (these buses are usually connected with train company). There are distances in km for every stops Czech and Slovakian buses and trains that go through Czech-Slovakia. '''Translation for searching connection''' (''Vlaky'' = Trains ''Autobusy'' = Buses, ''MHD Vsechna'' = all city public transport, ''MHD'' = city public transport, ''Odkud'' = from, ''Kam'' = to, ''Datum a cas'' = date and time - two edit fields, ''Pouze přímá spojení'' = without train (or bus) change during journey, ''Pouze vlaky bez povinné rezervace'' = only trains without seat reservation obligatory, but it usually does not show many trains, especially long-journey ones). '''Errors during request for searching'''''Zadání není jednoznačné, upřesněte prosím zadání'' - the station or city - town - village is not specified exactly (more stations with this name), write it more exactly.''Objekt nebyl nalezen'' = this station or town or city or village is not in database '''If you click for complete train, you get list of stops and schedule''' Translating: ''Stanice'' = station ''Příj'' = arrival ''Odj'' = departure ''Pozn'' = notes for this stop Km = distance in kilometers from begin of train journey to this station (Distances in km are aviable only for trains that goes through Czech Republic and Slovakia). (''zastavuje jen pro nastup'' = only for boarding, ''zastavuje jen pro vystup'' only for getting off, but it is only for ticket-reservation possibility, you can get in-off or be kicked out anywhere). '''Buttons under connections''' ''Zmenit zadani'' = Changing searching request ''Nove zadani'' = new searching request ''Trvaly odkaz'' =permanent link to connection, ''Hledat spatecni spojeni'' = searching for connection back, in another direction (from destination to start station). And '''buttons down-left''' ''Predchozi'' = three connections before, ''nasledujici'' = (three) connections after. At first request idos.cz will find three earliest connections after selected date and time. '''Translation for connections that has been found''' And then you find connection, some notes are - ''Příští stanice'' = Next Station, ''Vlak se prave nachazi ve stanici'' = Train is now in this station, ''povinná rezervace'' = seat reservation obligatory, ''moznost rezervace'' = seat reservation is possible, ''jede'' = train goes at this dates, ''jede do'' = train goes until this date, ''jede od'' train goes since this date, ''od'' = since ''do'' = until, ''globální cena'' = global ticket price, not interesting for us, ''vozy 1. a 2. třídy'' = wagons with first and second class, ''pouze vozy 2. třídy'' = wagons only with second class. And there are '''some symbols''', what is in train - like ''beds, restaurant, bar or bistro, car transporting, etc'' '''Error 1'''''Spojení nebylo nalezeno'' = Connection was not found''Možné příčiny'' = It can be caused by ''spojení v příslušném časovém období neexistuje'' = no connection exist in this time '' mezi výchozím a cílovým objektem neexistuje přímé spojení'' = there can be not direct connection (without changes), (if you have selected direct connections only for searching). '' spojení nelze realizovat povolenými dopravními prostředky'' = connection is not possible with selected type of vehicles due to our database status (if you have selected only trains, buses etc.) This application usually marks most of regional-commuter trains like '''blue R''' some commuter trains are missing (commuter trains by Stockholm, P train in Helsinki), and it marks '''green''' all '''IC''', '''EC''' or '''high-speed trains''' with seat reservation obligatory. it shows seat reservation obligatory in all IC-EC trains. Only few international dance floors are '''red''' like '''EN''' and '''INT''' The '''semi-regional trains''' for longer journey are usually marked like blue too, but the letters are various, some are still like '''blue R''' (for example in Sweden '''OTU''' - Oresundstaag, in Norway '''REG''' trains are regional, not local trains). The '''long journey trains''' are usually green with letters EC, IC or specific letters ('''TGV''' in France, '''X2''' is ''SJ Snabbstaag'' in Sweden, '''S2''' is ''Pendolino'' in Finland, Green '''AE''' or Red '''INT''' is ''Allegro train'' between Helsinki and St. Pettersburk, '''FR''' or '''FA''' is high-speed train in Italy - Treno Alta Velocita, '''FB''' is something like IC train in Italy - FB FRECCIABIANCA). Some Night trains are marked '''ICN''' (green) and some night Trains like green '''NZ''' (Moscow-Helsinki), some night trains are red '''EN''' - Euronight. Many night trains (in Finland, in Sweden are marked like green IC or even blue REG in Norway) But '''some Long Journey IC trains are still blue like regional''' (ICs in Norway are marked like blue REG, long journey dance floors from Stockholm to Narvik or (Goteborg) Stockholm-Lulea or Lulea-Narvik are marked sometimes like blue R Arcitic circle train) Sometimes - '''one trains is marked like two another trains''' (R train Helsinki-Tampere, trains between Oslo and Goteborg), and some trains has two symbols (for example train between Helsinki and St. Peterburg is red INT or Green AE ). Even some high speed trains can be missing there (probably purple Treno Italio - AV dance floor in Italy). The most important for this Czech database is '''that you can find stops during journey''' Unfortunately - you can not find in this Czech application, which stations has waiting room, or when waiting room is closed. '''jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/''' is only for trains, it is part of '''idos.cz''' , where you can find all buses and trains and city public transport in Czech Republic and Slovakia (not in Europe, you can find only trains and few buses in whole Europe). You can find all stops, time table (arrival and departure) and for Czech republic and Slovakia only - you can find length of journey between stations in km. Unfortunately - this page is not in English. This application is created by '''CHAPS''' (software for transport schedules) and there is possible to download database of schedules and trips from '''chaps.cz''' like complete database, only trains (in Europe) or only buses (Czech and Slovakia) or city public transport for selected city in Czech-Slovakia. And there should be database of planes too. Unfortunately, English is missing. == [[Austria]] == Austria is not so big country in the middle of Europe and big part of this country is with mountains – Alps. There is big motorway '''A1 from Germany to Hungary''' ''(Munchen – Salzburg – Linz – Wien – Budapest)''. You can easily hitchhike there at exit of fuel stations. Another motorway goes to south – not so far from '''Rosenheim''' (Germany), the A1 motorway split to '''Munchen''' and south branch to '''Insbruck''' and '''Kufstein'''. And around Insbruck – the motorway spilts too – one '''direction to west''' (Switzerland) and one '''direction to Italy''' (Brenero, Bolzano, Verona). Insburck is big crossroad with beauty-full mountains around (up to 3300 m.n.m.). One hitchhiking place is fuel station before Insbruck. Many cars go to Italy (Sea, Skying), but there are only few cars in this fuel station, few cars go to Italy, and many hitchhikers waited there very long (few hours or even two days). Another possibility is hitchhiking with sign ''(Italy, Switzerland, Salzburg, Germany)'' before entrance to motorway in east Insbruck. Hitchhiking to Italy or Switzerland can be really bad here. If hitchhiking does not work, you just go to train station. Is it easy to jump on city bus inside Insbruck and taking it for free. (or another city in Austria) (penalty in city public transport can be for example in Wien 103 Eur) and you can go to train station or big road at the end of city. If you want '''escape from cold to Italy'''. You try to get to Insbruck and from Insbruck to Brennero and Italy. But hitchhiking does not work so good from Insbruck to Italy. '''Brennero-Brenner is border Austria-Italy'''. It is around 1200 m above sea, it is narrow valley between mountains. There is motorway and rail road. It is highest and coldest point of journey. There is snow usually from November-December to March-April. Mountains around are high – up to 3300-3700 m above sea. And there is already snow in July in some places up in mountains. There is a lot of police checking in Brennero because of migration (on direction from Italy to Austria). Train track goes not so fast downhill to Insbruck (around 38km long by road). And train track goes quite fast downhill to Bolzano with a lot of tunnels. There are EC trains wit few stops and Italian local train (Treno Regionale) with lot of stops, but there s almost ticket checking. There is warmer in '''Bolzano''' than in Isbruck or Brennero, but Alps are there still, mountains and hills continue to Tremto, Rovento. Just around 30 km before '''Verona''' is tunnel for train, it means end of hills and warm low-land with palms. And south from Verona to Sicily – temperature rises, but quite slowly. It is long journey and around 5-10 degrees difference between Verona and Sicily. '''Train stations in Austria are quite good.''' You can find on the station all trains (arrivals and departures) with all stops for every train and time for arrive and departure in every stop during trip. It is important. Some small stations for local trains can be without waiting room, But big stations are open during night (just some sitting places are closed), because of night trains. But it can be quite cold in the stations too, not so good heating system can be there. There is no ticket control during entering into station or entering into train. But if your appearance is like homeless or backpacker, conductor can ask you for a ticket while entering into night train. There are not so many passengers in night trains. '''Conductor usually does not check toilets.''' You can try to hide there and does not lock the door. But do not stay in toilet too long, because another passengers can go there too. Stay there just when conductor is passing around. Or you can just play like you were already checked or you just hide between many passengers, especially close to bigger town. You tan try '''short distance ticket trick''' in regional trains R and REX. You buy ticket for 15-40 km (around 5-8 Eur), you let be checked and you continue much further after. But it is quite expensive in '''EC''' and '''RailJet''' dance floors with not so many stops. If you are captured, you can be simply kicked out, especially from regional train. There is bigger probability, that conductor write fine for you in EC, RailJet or night train. Or he just kick you out. Some Peter's friends was captured in Austria (Austrian residents too), and they sometimes got fine, which will be never paid, or they has been kicked out. Penalty is around Eur 103, but you don't need to pay, if you are not from Austria, or you can give fake address. There are really a '''lot of police checking in trains from Italy to Austria and Germany''''' (especially direction to Germany), and maybe in trains from Wien to Munchen can be police too. They control everything on platforms and many times in train (especially close to Italy-Austria border), because of Immigrants. Police checks toilets, space under seats too. But they are searching for immigrants, they do not check usually European people. And they checks ID, not tickets. But they can check some drug smuggling too. First type is '''regional dance floor R'''. This train have a lot of stops, every 3-10 km. Interval to next train is usually 1-2 hours. PeterOB have not tried this dance floor. There can be a lot of people inside close to big city and conductor can go only one time, or not so often. But it is dubious. The '''REX dance floor''' is similar to R dance floor. But distance between stops is bigger, around 15-30 km and interval to next train can be around 2 hour (include R trains shorter). You can try short distance ticket trick – you buy ticket only for short distance (around 15-30 km, it cost 6-8 Eur), you will show ticket and you will continue longer than destination in you ticket. Or you can try to hide between passengers close to big town or toilet tactic (you just sit on toilet when conductor goes around and you don't lock the door). You can play that you were already checked after first control too, when conductor goes around. If you want to go to Italy, stops for REX train are: ''(Innsbruck Hbf, Matrei am Brenner, Steinach in Tirol, Brennero/Brenner – border with Italy, few stations to Bolzano (3 or 7))''. '''Between Brennero to Bolzano''' is easy to dance – Italian regional train goes there, usually without checking. From Italy to North – there is regional train (treno regionale) from Bolzano to Brenero once a hour. Conductor usually do not check tickets but police is searching for immigrants. There is truck stop with wingette selling for Austria and fuel station in Brenero. Really Lot of trucks are there. But you have to cross motorway with not so many cars. You have to be careful during this action. Or you can take EC train from Verona to Germany, it is one stop from Brennero to Insbruck, and conductor goes there (and police too). Then you take for free city bus to east Insbruck and there is entrance to motorway. '''Night trains are good''', because '''they have not so many stops'''. But there are only beds with reservation and it is possible that you can't get inside coupe and you stay at corridor with backpack and conductor will see you. These trains are international, with police, and conductors too, of course. And conductor might ask you for a ticket during boarding. But these trains are quite long and you just get in as in shade as possible. If you want to go to Italy, from Insbruck – stops for EC and night trains are ''Munchen or Wien …...... Insbruck HBF, Brennero (border), Brixeno, Bolzano, Tremto, Verona …..… Rome, Bolonga or Milano or Venezia''. '''R 409''' (red at idos.cz) is best night-day train from Moscow to France, it is the best, with fewest stops: ''Moskva Belorusskaja 11:18, Wjasma 14:10-14:36, Smolensk 16:33-16:38, Orscha Central 17:49-18:05, Minsk(BY) 20:22-20:37, Brest Central 0:24-0:50, Terespol 1:08-1:58, Warszawa Wschodnia 3:49, Warszawa Centralna 4:25, Warszawa Zachodnia 4:35 , Katowice 7:13-7:18, Zebrzydowice 8:22-8:23, Bohumín 8:43-9:07, Břeclav 10:50-11:18, Wien Hbf 12:27-12:41, Linz Hbf 14:19-14:26, Bischofshofen 17:37-17:41, Innsbruck Hbf 20:44-21:21, Brennero/Brenner 22:00, Bolzano/Bozen 23:53-23:55, Verona Porta Nuova 1:16, Milano Rogoredo 2:55, Genova Piazza Principe 4:34, San Remo 6:44-6:46, Bordighera 6:58-7:00, Ventimiglia 7:10-7:58 , Menton 8:08-8:10, Monaco-Monte-Carlo 8:19-8:21,Nice Ville 8:34'' But long journey train R409 does not go every day. Next type is '''EC dance floor'''. EC train goes usually once a 1 hour or once a 2 hour. Distance between stops are usually 30-80 km, conductor goes usually every stops. PeterOB tried only two EC trains for one stop only, he was hiding in toilet with unlocked doors when conductor pass around. But you can just play that you were already checked. Ticket for shorter distance than you go is possible, but not so cheap. And some EC trains (from-to Italy) are only with few passengers, these trains are quite empty. There are lot of coops in direction from Italy to Germany and they look everywhere (toilets, under seats), because they check immigrants. There are EC trains between '''Munchen (DE)''' and '''Verona (IT)''' once a two hours, in both directions. Some trains continue from-to '''Venecia''' or '''Bolonga'''. Stops are: ''(München Hbf , München Ost, Rosenheim , Kufstein, Wörgl Hbf, Jenbach, Innsbruck Hbf, Brennero/Brenner, Fortezza/Franzensfeste, Bressanone/Brixen, Bolzano/Bozen, Trento, Rovereto, Verona Porta Nuova, Bologna Centrale, or erona Porta Nuova, Vicenza, Padova, Venezia Mestre , Venezia Santa Lucia)''. There are Italian conductors in Italy and probably German conductors in Germany.Situation between Insbruck and Rosenheim is better, because there goes '''RailJet dance floor''' to Wien once a hour. Next and best type of dance floor is blue '''Railjet''', because of fewest stops. The distance between stops is around 40-100 km or even longer. There are usually two conductors and a lot of passengers. You can hide in toilet and play shitting when conductor is passing around, PeterOB already tried it successfully. Or you can try just be between passengers and play that you were already checked. Railjet or EC dance floor '''between Munchen (DE) – Wien (- Budapest)''' goes once a two hours, but '''between Salzburg and Wien''' more than once a hour: Journey Munchen-Wien takes only 4 hours and it is 2:40 hours from Wien to Budapest, stops are ''(München Hbf, Salzburg Hbf , Linz Hbf, St.Pölten Hbf, Wien Meidling, Wien Hbf )'' and some Railjet dance floors from Munchen continues to Hungary with stops ''( Wien Hbf, Hegyeshalom, Mosonmagyarovar, Györ, Tatabanya, Budapest-Kelenföld, Budapest-Keleti pu)''. The Night train '''EN 463 Kalman Imre''' has the same stops ''(München Hbf 23:35 …... Wien Hbf 6:35-6:39 …... Budapest-Keleti pu (9:24)''. '''Wien – Budapest:''' The journey is around 2:40 hours, '''RailJet dance floor''' goes every hour, stops are ''(München Hbf, Salzburg Hbf , Linz Hbf, St.Pölten Hbf, Wien Meidling, Wien Hbf )''. Railjet or EC dance floors usually begins at Munchen Hbf. Some EC dance floors continues behind Budapest, for example 4 hours more to Nyiregyhaza , stops are: (Budapest-Keleti pu, Szolnok, Törökszentmiklos, Kisujszallas, Karcag, Püspökladany, Hajduszoboszlo, Debrecen, Nyiregyhaza). '''(Zürich HB - Switzerland) - Insbruck-Wien:''' It is around 4:15 hod long journey, '''RailJet''' trains goes every hour (from Zürich HB to Insbruck Hbf once a two hours). Some RailJets begin in Switzerland (Zürich HB) and some RailJet trains does not stops between Salzburg and Insbruck. Stops are: ''(Zürich HB , Sargans , Buchs SG, Feldkirch, Bludenz, St. Anton am Arlberg, Landeck-Zams, Imst-Pitztal, Ötztal, Innsbruck Hbf, Wörgl Hbf , Kufstein, Salzburg Hbf, Linz Hbf, St.Pölten Hbf, Wien Meidling, Wien Hbf, Flughafen Wien)''. '''Wien – Bratislava SK:''' There are local dance floors from Slovakian dancing company, train runs once a 30-60 min from 4am to midnight. It is 66 km and 66 minutes and 7 stops. You can try just hide between passengers or in toilet. Short distance ticket trick can be more difficult. Stops are: ''(Wien Hbf, Wien Simmering, Wien Stadlau , Wien Hausfeldstrass, Siebenbrunn-Leopoldsdorf, Marchegg, Devínska N.Ves, Bratislava hl.st.)''. '''From Graz to Wien and Czech Republic:''' There is RailJet dance floor once a 2 hours ''(Graz – Wien - Prague)'', and few EC dance floors goes from Wien to Czech Republic. It is 90 km and 54 minutes from Wien Hbf to ''first Czech station Breclav''. Most of trains are RailJet and they continue to Brno, Prague. Stops are ''(Graz Hbf , Bruck/Mur, Kapfenberg, Mürzzuschlag, Semmering, Wiener Neustadt Hbf, Wien Meidling, Wien Hbf, Breclav, Brno hl.n., Ceska Trebova, Pardubice hl.n. Praha hl.n.)''. RJ from Wien 19:02 has four more stops in Czech – ''Blansko, Letovice, Svitavy, Kolin''. There are EC trains, which goes''' from Wien to Breclav and Ostrava, Bohumin, Poland'''. EC 104 Sobieski 8:10 from Wien continue to Breclav, Hodonin, Ostravava hl.n. 10:59-11:01, Warszawa Centralna 15:04-15:20, Gdansk Glowny 11:11-18:14, Gdynia Glowna 18:36. From Wien 14:10 EC 102 Polonia continue to Warszawa, the same EC 406 Chopin from Wien 22:50 to Warszawa and D 100 Moravia (with beds too) from Wien 18:10 to Bohumin 21:08. But it os much more stops on the journey.It is ''only one stop from Wien to Breclav (CZ)'', ''8 stops from Breclav to Bohumin'' (last CZ station), ''9 stops from Bohumin to Warszawa Centralna'', ''6 stops from Warszawa Centralna to Gdansk Glowny'' and ''from Gdansk Glowny last 5 stops to Gdynia Glowna (18:36)''. Only train from Wien 8:10 continue behind Warszawa to Baltic sea (Gdansk). There are local dance floors '''from Wien to Breclav''' too, they runs once a two hours, it is ''from Wien Hbf 1:29 hour and 9 stops in Wien, 14 more stops after Wien to Breclav''. This train can be with a lot of passengers close to Wien and conductor can go only 1-2 times. But it is much more better to take EC or RailJet dance floor without stop between Wien and Breclav, than local dance floor R or REX with lot of stops. There are trains '''from Linz to CZ (Ceske Budejovice and Prague)'''. It can be only 5 stops from ''Linz'' to ''Summerau'' (last stop in Austria), next stop is ''Horni Dvoriste (CZ)'' and 10 more stops to ''Ceske Budejovice''. But some local trains from ''Linz hbf'' has 14 stops to ''Summerau'' and more 12 stops from ''Horni Dvoriste'' to ''Ceske Budejovice''. Many stops are Request only. '''REX trains''' has from ''Linz'' 5 stops to ''Summerau'' usually and stops in Czech: ''(Rubnik, Kaplice, Velesin mesto, Ceske Budejovice, Tabor, Praha hl.n., Praha Holesovice)'' – not so many stops in Czech Republic. There is usually one local train from Linz to Ceske Budejovice once a 2 hours and REX train from Linz directly to Prague only once 4-6 hours, these trains are best with fewest stops in Czech. Last type is '''ICE dance floor'''. ICE trains goes usually in Germany and only few ICE goes to Austria. One ICE goes '''from Wien to Munchen and Hamburg'''. Another ICE goes from Insbruck to Munchen and more further (Berlin, Hamburg). ICE has in Austria the same stops like RailJet or IC trains, but in Germany – ICE are faster (up to 300 kph) and with not so many stops. Distance between stops can be 100-500 km. Conductor check it in Germany very hard and you can get fine or conductor call the police. 'Germany is not recommended for BlackRiding. PeterOB's friend was two times captured in Germany (train and tram) and he was 14 days in prison. But it is probably not so hard now, it was few years back. Usually only one or two ICE a day gets from-to Wien or Insbruck.
== [[Belgium]] ==
: Much to their own annoyance, '''Belgian railway staff do not have any legal right to ask for your ID''', so under no circumstances show it when they ask for it! [[User:Prino|Prino]] 09:58, 3 May 2011 (CEST)
== [[Czech Republic]] and [[Slovakia]] ==
And one more trick in trains between Bratislava and Kosice, which go through Zilina. This trains have a lot of carriages, and still sometimes crowded. Number of carriages is 10-13 during day with 2-3 conductors and 5-7 carriages during night time with 1-2 conductors. The key is that conductor do not go so often, usually once a 2-5 stations, especially in night trains. You can walk around conductor to area where tickets have been already checked. You can use outside way in some stops or walk around conductor inside train (wait when conductor finish your wagon and return for backpack). Interval to next check is quite long and conductor check new passengers only. You do not answer for new passenger checking (Sleep, look out of window, read a book). But be carefull in station Zilina - this is place for change conductors crew and new conductors checked all passengers. Similar situation is for EC from Prague to Budapest in Slovakian area (From Kuty to Sturovo). Conductor go only one or two times and you can walk around conductor. The similar situation is fror IC and EX trains from Prague to Zilina through Vsetin and Puchov. Conductor go only one or two times and you can change trains in Puchov (train from Bratislava go few minutes after) in Slovakian part. Ticket between last czech and first slovakian stop is quite expensive, and price in train (buy from conductor) can be cheaper than normal. Conductor usually do not go in border Kuty-Breclav but yes in border Horni Lidec - Puchov. If you are captured without ticket, you can be kicked out or conductor ask for paying penalty or your ID in EC train. Because of immigrats and druck, there are usually cops or security in international EC trains and sometimes might check your backpack and pockets (in Czech Area sometimes, especially in trains from Poland). More coops an be in international trains now because of immigrants. Trains between Kosice and Bratislava though Zilina, Trains between Czech Republic and Budapest through Bratislava and trains from Czech to Zilina through Puchov go once a two hours during day time.
== Dancing behind Arctic Circle ==
There are four dancing lines, which goes through Arctic Circle, one in Norway, in Norland '''between Trondheim and Bodoe''', one in Sweden-Norway '''from Stockholm, Umea to Kiruna, Narvik''' and two in Finland, first line is '''from Oulu and Kemi to Rovaniemi and Kemjarvi''', second line is '''from Oulu and Kemi to Kolari'''.
The dancing line in Norway is by coast and fjords, it is realized by '''NSB dancing company'''. There is a lot of snow in winter and days are short, light is just 1-3 hours long in December. There is quite lot of mountains around and sea too. Summer is with a lot of rain and temperature 10-20. Winter temperature is around zero, from -10 to +5 usually, frost -15 or -20 degrees is rare, sometimes, winter can be colder in Spain or in Greece in mountains.
'''From Oslo, Trondheim to Bodoe''', you always have to change dance floor in Trondheim. Lets search for dance floors from Trondheim to Bodoe. Blue-Black Dancing here can be pretty difficult. You have only one train during day and one train at night. Daily dance floor R or IC (REG 471 at idos.cz) goes from Trondheim S 7:38 and arrives to Bodoe 17:28, so it takes 9:50, almost 10 hours. It is 26 stops and 11 stops are with request only. There are high probability for changing conductors during journey. But conductor all check tickets probably after Trondheim resp. Bodoe and probably not or just few times more far behind Trondheim or Bodoe, but you can try just pretend sleep, conductor do not remember after long time and he does not care so much, who is new.
This is most north Norwegian dancing line by NSB, and it goes through Arctic Circle (66.55 degrees or 66 degrees 33 minutes) Arctic circle is between Mo i Rana and Bodoe (60 km north from Mo i Rana), more exactly between Mo i Rana (66.3905 north) and Loensdal (66.7432 north), northest stations are Valnesfjord (67.2995), '''Tverlandet''' (67.3019), Moerkved (67.2838), Bodoe (67.2864), northest point of track looks to be by fjord coast (67.3305 north, 15.1567 east).

Daily train has a lot of stops and regular checking is probably not so often, there are probably not so many passengers. You can try to hide between passengers or in toilet. You do not need reservation for daily train.
Night train goes 23:40 from Trondheim S to Bodoe 9:15. Type of train is IC or R-Regional (REG 475 at idos.cz). It is 20 stops and 8 stops are request only. Journey takes 9:35. Train stops only for 1-4 minutes at station. There are beds inside and seat reservation obligatory.

Back from Bodoe to Trondheim – situation is the same. One daily train '''REG 472''' and one night train '''REG 476''' only (IC or R at departure board and REG at www.idos.cz). The daily dance floor goes from Bodoe 12:27 to Trondheim S 22:05. Duration is 9:38. It is 26 stops with 11 request stops. There are probably not so many people in train and there is probability of conductor changing during journey.

Night train from Bodoe to Trondheim – situation is the same. There are beds and seat reservation obligatory, probably not so many passengers. You can try to hide in the dark coupe and pretended sleeping, but chance of success is dubious (or more persons inside one sleeping bag or one blanket can go with one ticket). Night train goes from Bodoe 21:10 to Trondheim S 7:47. It is '''REG 476''' at idos.cz. Duration is 10:30 and it is 20 stops, 8 request stops include. Train wait at stops from 1 to 13 minutes.

The second line is in Sweden, '''from Boden to Kiruna, Narvik'''. It goes throught ''Stockhlm, Gavle, Hudiksvall, Sundsvall, Umea, Boden-Lulea, Kiruna, Narvik''. This is most north dancing line in Shenghen or European Union. There are plenty trains from Stockholm to ''Gavle, Hudiksvall, Sundsvall'', a lot of high-speed dance floors '''SJ SnabbTaag''' and long journey trains (SJ IC, SJ Nattaget, Arctic circle train). Some SJ SnabbTaag goes more north to Umea and there are SJ IC, SJ Orviga ,SJ Nattaget (night train) and local Norrtaag from Umea to Boden and Lulea.
It is 6 stops '''between Sundsvall and Umea''' with SJ Snabbtaag or night trains NZ 91, NZ 92 (NZ 91 and NZ 92 goes between Goteborg, Stockholm and Lulea – SJ Nattaget at departure board). Stops are: ''(Sundsvall, Timraa, Härnösand, Kramfors, Örnsköldsvik C, Umeaa Östra, Umeaa Central)''. From Stockholm-Sundsvall to Umea goes one SJ Snabbstaag in morning and 2-3 trains SJ Snabbtaag in afternoon-evening. From Umea goes one SJ Snabbstaag at early morning, one at morning and one at afternoon. NZ 92 goes at early morning 2:58 from Sundsvall and NZ 91 at evening 22:26 from Umea. NZ 91 and NZ 92 can be marked like R 91 and R 91 between Sundsvall and Luleaa at idos.cz and SJ Orviga at departure board.
There is once a 1-3 hours local dance floor '''Norrtaag''' between Sundsvall and Umea, but it is 11 stops and many stops can be without waiting room. Temperature -30C is possible already there. Stops with Norrtaag are: ''(Umeaa Central, Umeaa Östra, Hörnefors, Nordmaling, Husum(S), Örnsköldsvik Norra, Örnsköldsvik C, Kramfors, Härnösand, Timraa, Sundsvall Västra, Sundsvall Central )''.
There is '''SJ Nattaget night dance floor Arctic circle train''' ('''NZ 94''' to Narvik and '''NZ 93''' to Stockholm only with 4 stops ''(Sundsvall Central, Härnösand station , Kramfors, Örnsköldsvik C, Umeaa Central)''. NZ 94 goes at evening 22:34 from Sundsvall and NZ 93 goes at early morning (1:19) from Umea.
Dancing '''from Umeaa to Boden''' is more difficult, because there are not so many trains. There are only two night trains quite early morning and one train during day. One is NZ 92 from from Umea 6:30 to Boden and Lulea, which can be marked at idos cz too like blue regional R 92 from Sundsvall, Umeaa to Boden, Lulea. This train has 5 stops ''(Umeaa Central, Vindeln, Bastuträsk, Jörn, Älvsbyn, Boden, Sunderby sjukhus, Luleaa Central)''. And there is of course night dance floor NZ 94 Arctic Circle train with 4 stops only ''(Umeaa Central, Bastuträsk, Jörn, Älvsbyn, Boden)''. There is once a day regional dance floor '''R 7108 Norrtaag''' Umea C 16:11 – Boden C 19:27 with 8 stops from Umeaa to Boden, 3 more stops to Lulea central 20:05. Stops are ''(Umeaa Central, Vannasby, Tvaralund, Vindeln, Hällnäs, Bastuträsk, Jörn, Älvsbyn, Boden, Sunderby sjukhus, Luleaa Notviken, Luleaa Central)'' So there is only one train per day in some stops and many stations can be without waiting room. Death during exam is possible here. In winter can be -30 degrees often here. All stops extra are between Umea and first stop (Vindeln) Bastuträsk, except Hällnäs. Hällnäs is strange too, only one train Norrtaag to direction Boden, Lulea stops here.
From Boden to Umeaa goes at night NZ 93 Arctic Circle train with 4 stops from Boden 21:55 ''(Boden, Älvsbyn, Jörn, Bastuträsk, Umeaa)'' and R 91 (SJ Orviga) from Boden 18:25 with 5 stops ''(Boden, Älvsbyn, Jörn, Bastuträsk, Vindeln, Umeaa)''. R 91(NZ 91 or NZ 3291) continues to Kramfors and Härnösand (Sundsvall, Stockholm, Goteborg). There is only once a day in early morning one local dance floor R 7103 Norrtaag with 7 stops. Two more stops are between Vindeln and Umeaa. All stops: ''(Boden, Älvsbyn, Jörn, Bastuträsk, Vindeln,Tvaralund, Vannasby, Umeaa)''. All extra-stops are close to Umeaa too.
''Boden is big crossroad of dancing lines'''. One direction by train and road is to Lulea. It is 1-3 stops and trains goes quite often, in morning and afternoon-evening every 1-2 hours, but no train 11-14 h. There are Long journey '''SJ IC''' trains (IC at idos.cz), night trains '''SJ Nattaget''' (NZ at idos.cz) and trains '''SJ Orviga''' (R at idos.cz) in Boden. From Lulea is road like motorway to Finland, but no train. You can check hitchhicking places at map. First train station with good connection is Kemi and it is one stop and 58 minutes between Kemi and Oulu.
'''Between Boden and Kiruna'''. SJ IC trains goes between Lulea-Boden-Kirina-Narvik (IC 95 from Kiruna, Narvik and IC 96 to Kiruna, Narvik) with four stops and there are long journey dance floors between Stockholm and Narvik (NZ 94 Arctic Circle train in early morning to Kiruna, Narvik and NZ 93 Arctic Circle train in afternoon-evening from Narvik, Kiruna to Boden, Stockholm) with the same four stops between Boden and Kiruna.
Stops for SJ IC and SJ Nattaget (IC and NZ at idos.cz) are: ''(Boden, Murjek, Nattavaara, Gällivare, Kiruna)'', journey takes about 3:05-3:40 hours. There are during day 3 regional dance floors in each direction (one in morning and two in afternoon) '''Norrtaag dancing company'''. Norrtaag dance floor has usually only 4 same stops too, like with long journey trains, BUT one Norrtaag train per day has 3 extra stops ('''R 7154 Norrtaag''' Lulea 16:30 Boden 17:03 Kiruna 20:07 and '''R 7151 Norrtaag''' Kiruna 6:20 Boden 9:27-9:29 Lulea 9:52) R 7154 and R 7151 has three more stops between Gällivare and Kiruna - '''(Fjällaasen, Kaitum, Sjisjka)'''. How many stations are with waiting room is dubious, but waiting room can be closed at night. And there are three stations, where is easy to stack whole night or day. Especially in these dangerous stations with only one train per day in one direction - Death during exam is possible here, in case, that you fail. Temperature in winter can be there easily -30 and rarely -40.
'''Between Kiruna and Narvik'''. This is area with mountains and lakes and many small villages and resorts. Narvik has quite mild winter with temperature from -10 to -15, sometimes -15, but rarely -20 and mountains divide warm Atlantic air and cold continental air. There are big temperature differences in small distances or between valley and hill.
''There are two trains per day in one direction between Kiruna and Narvik''. It is 7 or 8 or 11 stops between Kiruna and Narvik. Dance floor NZ 94 Arctic circle train (SJ Nattaget) from Stocholm to Narvik ''(Stockholm 17:29, Kiruna 9:36-9:54 , Narvik 12:29, 7 stops)'' and from Narvik to Stockholm ''(NZ 93 Arctic circle train Narvik 15:15, Kiruna 17:58-18:25, Sockholm 9:15, 8 stops)''. Second train is with 11 stops, '''IC 96''' from Lulea-Boden-Kiruna to Narvik ''(IC 96 Kiruna 14:19-14:45 and Narvik 17:45, 11 stops)'' and '''IC 95''' from Narvik to Kiruna-Boden-Lulea ''(IC 95 Narvk 11:00, Kiruna 13:43-14:02)''.
Many stations should be with waiting room, but some stations have waiting room open nonstop. Some stations has only one train per day in one direction. There are few skiing centers, like Abisko. Oceanic side of mountains is warmer, but there still can be -15 or even -20. Valleys in mountains and area around Kiruna can be very cold, sometimes -30 or even -40 degrees and death during exam is possible here.
'''Riksgränsen station''' (68.4266 north) is station by SE-NO border (in Sweden, 1 km from border). Bjoernfjell is first station in Norway, about 1.5 km from border.
This dancing line is most north at all in Europe, except Russia. Another three dancing lines goes about 67 degrees only. But dancing line between Kiruna and Narvik crosses 68 degrees north.

'''Third journey through Arctic circle is in Finland'''. It goes '''from Oulu to Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi'''. There are three daily IC dance floors and two night IC dance floors. Daily ICs are one from-to Helsinki, one from-to Kuopio and one just from-to Oulu. Night dance floors are from-to Helsinki. Rovaniemi is last big city with quite good train connection. Rovaniemi station is still not behind Arctic Circle, it is 66.4980 north, Arctic circle is 66.55 north, it goes through most north houses in Rovaniemi. Dancing line continues east-east-north with two stops '''Misi''' and '''Kemijärvi'''. These stops are behind Arctic circle already. But only one train per day goes in one direction from-to Misi (66.6179 north) and Kemijärvi (66.7243 north),. It is night dance floor between Helsinki and Kemijärvi. Dancing line continues from Kemijärvi to east-east-north to Murmansk in Russia, without trains. Some HOBO (Freight train) can go there with wood. But Russia is with hard passports and visa checking and it is really violent country. Trains that goes from-to Kemijärvi, has only one stop between Oulu and Rovaniemi, it is Kemi (Crossroad). All other trains stops: (Oulu (Uleaborg), Kemi, Tervola, Muurola, Rovaniemi).

The last journey is '''from Oulu, Kemi to Kolari'''. Kolari is most north Finish station. Kemi is crossroad for roads and trains to direction Kolari, Rovaniemi and Oulu. It is only one stop between Oulu and Kemi and 3 or 1 stops between Kemi and Rovaniemi. There is road-highway between Oulu (FI) – Kemi (FI) and Luleaa (SE), Boden (SE) around Baltic Sea. First Swedish train station is Luleaa. There is no dancing line through SE-FI border, only buses and cars goes there.
By idos.cz - From Kolari to south (to Helsinki) goes only few trains, like Ex 270 and Ex 272. Ex 270 goes only 29-30th April and 17th June and Ex 272 goes only 1st May and 15th, 18th June. Both are night trains with beds and wagon for cars.
Trains between Oulu and Kolari seems to be extreme rare. There are only few days at spring with express night train between Helsinki and Kolari. There can be some HOBO (freight train) with wood, but it is possible only in Summer, of course. Stops are: ''(Oulu, Kemi, Tornio Itäinen, Ylitornio, Pello, Kolari)''. Tornio Itäinen is station by Baltic coast and SE-FI border. But there are almost no trains, so closest good station is Kemi. Dancing line between and Kolari is by Sweden-Finland border and river.
Position of stations by openstreetmaps.org: Oulu (65.0114, 25.4842), Kemi (65.7368, 24.5745), Tornio Itäinen (65.8508, 24.18293), Ylitornio ( 66.3244, 23.6825), Pello (66.7843, 23.9928), Kolari (67.3488, 23.8360). Arctic circle is between Ylitornio and Pello.
North Finland – Lapland is mostly lowland (like almost whole Finland) with plenty of lakes. Finland is most east Scandinavian country too, and mountains blocked warm air from Atlantic, but cold an in Russia is not so far. That's why in north-Finland (Lapland) is sometimes extreme cold. If Siberian high spread, then is in Finland clear and super cold. There can e like winter extreme around -35 or -40 degrees in night and -30 or -35 during day around Arctic circle. It can be bellow -40 rarely.
Day length is in winter just 1-3 hours close to Arctic Circle, but there is never-ended light in June. Summer is with plenty of mosquitoes. Many stations in Finland have not waiting room, only big stations have waiting room (and waiting room is closed at night).
Then Death during exam is possible in case, that you fail and waiting room is not in your stop (or waiting room is closed at night). You can tell that you have no place to sleep and if you are polite, conductor can let you travel, or he can give you fine, which you don't need to pay (Sweden SEK 1200, Finland Eur 80, Norway NOK 1150). Or conductor can call police, if you refuse to leave train, and police will let you be at their station during night.
== [[Denmark]] ==
Regional trains have distance between stops about 5-15 km and interval to next train is about one hour. These trains have few carriages and number of passengers is medium or not so much. IC trains have distance between stops about 15-40 km (EC trains have longer distances between stops). IC trains go usually once per hour and there are about 3-8 wagons and a lot of passengers.
Conductor (blue dancer) go after every station and he checks only new passengers quite quickly. There are about two wagons per conductor and ticket inspection is quite fast after station. He usually do not think so much about who is new passenger. So if your aperance appearance is not so unusual, you only stay or sit somewhere and be reading a book or be looking out of window and do not do anything during control. But it do not work after first stop – at the begin of journey, of course.
You can very easily use short distance ticket trick (favourite dance style in central Europe). You just buy ticket only for one or two station and you show it to conductor, but do not get of at the end of ticket and you continue journey. Standard ticket price is about 1 danish crown per 1 km, it is Eur 3 per 30 km or 6-8 Eur per 100 km, so it is quite expensive for poor people, but not for local residents.
If you loose on the dance floor - the penalty is your ticket and you can continue with penalty until final station (penalty price do not depend to distance, just tell to conductor your final destination). But you can not use the penalty or classic ticket to next train (You have to change trains sometimes during journey and penalty is not transfer ticket. Ticket are sold by automatic machines, these machines work with coins and credit cards. But you usually can buy ticket only for one train, strange). Good journey is for example from Flensburg (German-Danish border) to Alborg (North Denmark). Through Frederica and Arhaus. There are about 5-7 stops between Frederica and Arhaus and only 3 stops from Arhaus to Alborg for IC trains. But it means too, that conductor have enough time for writing penalty. If you get penalty, you can take with this penalty whole journey for example from Flensburg to Alborg. It is you ticket.
[[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] travelled in Denmark in August 2015 and he use dance floor too, because it was windy and rain whole day – not so good weather for hitchhiking. PeterOB was dancing from Kolding to Alborg in North trought trough Frederica. He was hiding in toilet (he did not lock door, sit and hold toilet paper) or he just stay and look out of window. He do not met conductor in train from Kolding to Frederica. 7 stops from Frederica to Arhaus was more difficult. PeterOB combined toilet tactic and just looking out of window. But only two carriages go from Arhaus to Alborg and PeterOB have to change place in train. New conductor start checking tickets, PeterOB want to go to toilet but there was already somebody. So PeterOB walked around conductor and when conductor went back, he asked for a ticket and wrote penalty for PeterOB. There is a lot of time from Arhaus to first station Randers. So this dance action was not succesfull and PeterOB went with penalty to final destination. But he will never pay the penalty DKR DKK 750 (About Eur 100).
As you know, Denmark is very rich country and supermarkets waste a lot of food. Trash bins are easily accessible and there are a lot of fruits, vegetables, bread, some sweets and milk product. You can easily eat a lot of food from trash-bins everywhere in Denmark. So if you have not enough dance skills and you are kicked out of train, just find some meal in trash.
== [[Finland]] ==
Finland is country in or close to Scandinavia, on the another side of Baltic Sea. People in Finland are one of most peaceful and kind in Europe and it is really hippie area. It is easy to live without money there.
Dumpsters close to supermarkets are quite accessible, at especially in Helsinki region. Hitchhiking can be good or bad. But the climate a nature is not so friendly, especially in the north. Summer is relative warm, but with lot of rain and attacking swarms of mosquitoes in the north (it is not so bad in the south). Winter is with pretty short days and super-cold arctic waves (war air from Atlantic is blocked by Scandinavian mountains but continental Arctic air from Russia can flow to Finland easily). Temperature can easily drop bellow -20 or -25 in south, -30 or -35 in the middle and in Lapland can be -40 or even -45 during night and around -35 during day.
At first – '''How to get to Finland'''. There are three ways, how to get there. Unfortunately, most of Finland border are with Russia and with Baltic sea. The traveling through Russia is not free or easily possible. You need visa. Visa to Russia cost around Eur 50-100 and it can be difficult with office. So there is no way (hitchhiking, bus, train) through Tallin-Saint Petersburg – Helsinki. There is ferry between Tallinn and Helsinki, it is not so long journey and the price begins from Eur 12 for walkers and they write down ID. You can try to sneek on ferry between people (a lot of people are there in Friday and Sunday) or you can be hidden in someone's car. Getting from Poland to Tallin is relative long journey, but a lot of truck goes there. No train is on this way and hitchhiking between Poland and Estonia is sometimes good, but sometimes bad. Hitchhiking in Poland is easy and there are not so many trains in Poland.
'''Second journey''' is from Stockholm to Finland by ferry. There are two ferry companies – ''Silja Line'' and ''Viking Line''. Journey from Stockholm to Turku takes 11 hours and there is plenty small islands around. The daily ferry (Silja line) stops in Aaland isnand. The night line from Stockholm to Turku goes at 7pm and arrives at 7am (Finland has 1 hour more than Sweden). But the night line cost around Eur 60-75. The ferry to Helsinki leaves around 4pm, but it cost around Eur 80 and sneeking is difficult. Day line (Silja Line) leaves Stockholm at 7am and arrives to Turku at 7pm. Day line cost around Eur 10-17, usually Eur 15. Viking Line leaves at 7:45am from another place than Silja Line. Morning ferry cost Eur 10-20 through E-Shop, but Eur 25, if you buy it on the spot. You can try to buy ticket only to '''Aaland - Mariehamn''' island, but it is only few Euros difference. Nobody checkinkg tickets on the ship or during getting of in Turku-Stockholm, they check it only during boarding. Sneeking on ferry is quite difficult by Silja Line. There are many security guys by the entrance gate and going by exit on the ship is almost impossible. It can be possible in moment, when passengers are getting out. Sneeking on Viking line is possible. There are many passengers boarding and you can try to sneek behind somebody. There are almost no security guys around. You can just play to pass the card to reader- your card is not working. In Viking line ferry - they are taking photos of boarding passengers more far behind gate. You can try to go one more floor upstairs, but there is too some photograph. But it is more easy to tell him that you don't want be on picture. The most easy way is to be hidden in someone's car. There are traveling some Hippie people with car too. Inside ship – you can put luggages into locked cage at begin of journey. There is Cafe In 6th floor in Silja line. Some guests leaves leftovers, but not so many. Only something during afternoon and nothing at Morning. There is buffet one floor more for breakfast and lunch. You can try to sneek there, when the workers does not watch. At Viking line - finding leftovers is almost impossible. There is Aurora buffet. They check everybody, who enter buffet, during morning. But they almost do not check entering passengers after lunch. You can just come into Aurora buffet and eat-dring. There is place for selling tickets to buffet (Eur 39), but they do not stop entering people in afternoon (after lunch).
If you go by '''ferry at morning''', there is no good place, where to be until Morning in Stockholm. Ferry leaves around 7am, so it is not possible to sleep out of the Stockholm, because you have not enough time to arrive to Terminal. Ferry terminal close around 8pm and you can wait in Stockholm central station, but it close around 0:30, bus terminal closes around midnight. There is McDonald shitty restaurant, sometimes they do not like waiting people during night and they sometimes kicks them out. Anyway, McDonald shitty restaurant closes at 5am (they had closing time at 2am at spring 2017, and you had to stay outside until 3:15 am, when bus terminal open). 3:15am - bus terminal opens again (it is close to central station, upstairs). Then subway in Stockholm (you need to sneek through gates behind somebody and security guys are around, but it is still easy to sneek) is open from 5am and close around 1 am. Terminal for ferry opens at 5am too - Silja Line. There is park with bench and noisy road close to ferry terminal and you can sleep there. But there are drunken and strange people during night – you can hide more between bushes.
When the ferry comes to Turku (Abo) Hamm, there are two IC trains close to Ferry. One to Tampere and One to Helsinki. Second floor is pretty empty and you can hide there in toilet (PeterOB was sitting like during shitting without locked door). Conductor probably check tickets just one time after Turku and there is almost nobody going to train. These trains are last, if you will be kicked out,next train goes tomorrow. But if you already get to Kirkkonumi, there is commuter train to Helsinki without checking. However Karjaa-Karis and Salo are stations without waiting room.
Another ferry is '''between Umea (SE) and Vaasa (FI)''' and another ferry with longer journy is '''between Sundsvall (SE) and Vaasa (FI)''' There are lot of trains ''from Stockholm to Gavle, Hudiksvall, Sundsvall ('''SJ Snabbstaab''' and long journey '''SJ IC''', '''Nattaget''' to north)''. Some '''SJ Snabbstaag''' trains ''continue to Umea too''. Local trains ('''Norrtaag, X-Taget''') has more stops. PetterOB does not know info about ferry between Vassa and Umea (pricing, sneeking, leftovers in restaurants and departure times).
'''Third journey to Finland is around Baltic see, the Nordic Journey''' There are plenty trains from Stockholm to Gavle, Hudiksvall, Sundsvall, a lot of high-speed dance floors '''SJ Snabbstaag''' and long journey trains ('''SJ IC''', '''SJ Nattaget''', '''Arctic circle train'''). Some SJ Snabbstaag goes more north to Umea and there are '''SJ IC, SJ Orviga ,SJ Nattaget (night train)''' and local '''Norrtaag''' from Umea to Boden and Lulea. The trains from Sundsvall to Umea are not so often (local trains have more stops). From Umea to Boden goes Norrtaag local train and SJ IC (Arctic circle train) and night train SJ Nattaget. From Boden to Lulea it is only one or two stops (some trains with three stops ?)
There is '''road around Baltic sea''' from ''Lulea (SE) to Tornio (FI), Kemi (FI), Oulu (FI)''. But Petter does not know difficult is hitchhiking there and how many cars are there. '''There is no train from Lulea (SE) to Finland''', but only bus (you can try cash trick, but probability of success is not high). Tornio (do not exchange Tornio and Tervolta station, it is not the same town) is close to SE-FI border. First train station is Kemi (trains in Tornio are pretty rare). It is one stop and 58 min from Kemi to Oulu by all IC or Ex trains. There is once a 3-4 hours dance floor from Kemi to north-east with only 3 stops, stops are ''(Oulu (Uleaborg) – Kemi – Tervola - Muurola – Rovaniemi)''. Night dance floor IC 265 is with fewest stops and it goes even further (Oulu (Uleaborg) 4:50-4:57, Kemi 6:03-6:07, Rovaniemi 7:28-7:40, Misi 8:16-8:17, Kemijärvi 8:45), by idos.cz - only one train per day – IC265 goes from Rovaniemi to Misi and Kemijärvi. There is most north dancing line in Finland by border with Sweden to Kolari. But trains there are quite rare, if any. Another dancing line, which cross Arctic Circle, is from Kemi to Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi. Arctic circle is in north part of Rovaniemi. Once a 1-2 hours runs quite fast IC or Pendolino dance floor between Helsinki – Tampere – Oulu. Some IC has two floors (easy to hide is second floor toilet) and some faster IC and Pendolinos has only one floor. Pendolinos are marked like green S2 at idos.cz
'''The north journey by train and hitchhiking''' is nice in Summer with never-ending daylight. But there are a lot of Mosquitoes. The situation in winter is terrible. The Swedish dancing line Stockholm-Lulea is better, most of stations has waiting room, but waiting room is closed during night (no waiting room in some small stations with local trains). Many of stations in Finland are without waiting room. You can wait few hours for next train or longer during night (and next train can get echo from previous one). On the road from Sweden to Finland can be with almost no cars and a lot of snow. The winter temperature can be here -20 to -30 or even -40. Here – the death during exam in case that you fail is real treat in winter time.
'''Blue-Black dancing (taking trains for free) is relative easy in Finland, it is super easy in region around Helsinki.''' There are a lot of commuter city trains around Helsinki. These trains goes every 10-30 minutes usually. Commuter city trains around Helsinki are marked as blue R-trains at idos.cz resp. jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/, and they are marked many letters (K,P,R,D and many others) by wr.fi or in Helsinki map, departure table. Commuter trains are little faster and it does not stops in all stops (K train, R train and D or Z train is with fewest stop).
You can find '''some info about train connections and pricing''' at '''vr.fi''' The '''map of dancing lines in Finland an information about trains, locomotives, stops''' are at English Wikipedia. '''en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Group''' it is quite big portal at Wikipedia. And you can find '''train connections with all stops''' in Finland and whole Europe at '''jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlaky/spojeni/'''
'''Commuter dance floors around Helsinki are pretty easy.''' There are conductors usually around middle of train, in ticket selling zone. They just sell the tickets if somebody wants, and they does not check it. Sometimes – they walk through whole train, if somebody want to buy ticket (they does not check). The area, where tickets selling is not common (and conductors are not so often there) is market by red line through tickets, there are conductors less often.
'''Sometimes, the ticket inspectors go into commuter trains'''. They have uniform and they are in group on platform, but PeterOB haven't seen them yet. They starts usually from end (or begin) of the wagon. There are usually quite lot of people in train and next stops is only few minutes away (usually 2-6minutes, in some faster commuter trains up to 10-20 minutes). So you can get off in next station usually (or you can try to tell that you are waiting for conductor to buy ticket). The penalty is Eur 80 plus ticket price, but they can more probably just let be non-Finish residents.
The Helsinki central station can be more difficult after 10pm. There is only one entrance and they check tickets on this entrance in night, before getting to train. But the near station (it is possible to get there by tram) is Pasila-Bole. All trains goes through Pasila-Bole and stops there. There are two entrances (on every side) in Pasila Bole, or it is possible to cross fence and tracks, but it is dangerous. The second entrance on the another end of platforms, than waiting room, and it is always free.
Trams are easy in Helsinki, just get in like into commuter train. There are sometimes ticket inspectors too, with uniforms. The penalty is the same Eur 80. Buses in Helsinki are more difficult, you have to show thicket during boarding. But two buses are with lot of people and without checking during boarding – there can be sometimes inspectors too. In another cities, like Tampere, Turku, are buses too. But there is ticket checking during boarding. The city commuter trains are probably only around Helsinki and between Helsinki-Tampere. Another commuter train around Tampere is planned. Commuter trains around Helsinki go 90-120kph, distance between stops is not so long.
There are lot of dumpsters in Helsinki, usually close to K-Markets. The dumpsters behind K-Market are open during opening hours and in some places during night too. There are a lot of bread, fruits, vegetables and cakes. Taking trains for free to different markets and dumpster diving is easy in Helsinki. There are not so many dumpsters in Tampere. Quite a good dumpsters are in Pispala (Tampere), but a lot of people dumpster diving there.
The commuter city dance floors without regular checking have good range around Helsinki. The '''P train''' runs circle Helsinki-Airport_Helsinki. This train is not at idos.cz.
There are a lot of good dancing network of commuter city trains on dancing line ('''Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Leppävaara – Kirkkonummi'''), it is relative far to Kirkkonummi for city commuter dance floors. IC dance floors or Pendolinos (with three numbers) from-to Turku has not so many stops - ''(Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Leppävaara - (Kirkkonummi) – Karjaa Karis – Salo - Kupittaa – Turku Abo)'' and some IC trains begins-ends one more stop in Turku Abo Hamm, harbour for ferry (from Turku Abo Hamn 8:10 and 20:20). If you travel from Turku to Helsinki, you need to survive in IC train until Kirkkonummi or Leppävaara, ICs almost do not stop in Kirkkonummi, only IC from Turku 20:20 and 17:17, IC from Helsinki 5:17 and 6:27 stops there.
There are lot of commuter dance floors in direction '''(Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Tikkurila – Kerava (Kervo) – Jokela - Riihimäki)''' It is direction to ''Tampere'' – second largest city in Finland. A lot of commuter dance floors goes to this direction, but the stops are various. Some commuter trains stops in all stops, come commuter trains stops ''Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Tikkurila – Kerava (Kervo)'', and every stop between ''Kerava and Riihimäki''. Z and D train is with fewest stops. The '''region Helsinki - Kerava (Kervo)''' is more like violet city region on map with really plenty of trains, and '''Kerava (Kervo) - Riihimäki''' is green region close to city on the map. Pretty many people travel between Helsinki and Kerava (Kervo) and not so many people between Kerava (Kervo) and Riihimäki (it is green region in map). It is more far zone and probability of ticket inspection is bigger here. Still quite a lot commuter trains goes between between Kerava (Kervo) and Riihimäki. There are no waiting rooms in most of the stations. Commuter trains around Helsinki can go up to 120kph.
There are commuter dance floors on journey '''Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Tikkurila - Kerava (Kervo) - Lahti (Lahtis)''' once a 60 min between and Kerava (Kervo) - Lahti (Lahtis) and every 10 min between Helsinki and Kerava (Kervo). Commuter Dance floor to Lahti does not stop so much, stops are ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Kerava (Kervo) - Haarajoki - Mäntsälä - Lahti (Lahtis))'' It is 61 minutes from Helsinki to Lahti with commuter train. IC trains and Pendolinos does not stop between Tikkurila and Lahti.
The '''R train''' in platform departure table (all commuter trains are R at idos.cz) consist of three trains together for lot of people and it goes to Riihimäki and R-train stops in all stations after Kerava (Kervo). But the first part of this R-train continue like city train '''from Riihimäki to Tampere''' after 5 min waiting in Riihimäki. This commuter dance floor stops at all stops between Riihimäki and Tampere and interval to next R commuter train train is 2 hours. This commuter R train is like two R trains with different numbers at idos.cz (from Helsinki to Riihimäki and from Riihimäki to Tampere). The ticket selling area is in the middle of train and sometimes conductor walk through whole train. And there was in monitor one time that ticket for area range will be checked and conductor just came and he checked only people with zone ticket – only few people in the wagon. Peter just sat calmly, like he ticket has, it works usually here. Conductor checks and sells tickets just for people that want check or buy one, it look. But the inspetion can be here too. PeterOB was searching for toilet in this train, but he did not find WC in this train (no possible to hide there ?).
'''Between Riihimäki and Tampere''', the commuter R dance floors goes once a 2 hour and IC trains (IC with three numbers) goes usually 1-2 hours between Helsinki and Tampere. Most of the stations are without waiting room, even stations for IC trains (three-numbers IC). And winter temperature can be even bellow -20. Stops for R commuter dance floor Helsinky-Tampere are: ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Kerava (Kervo) - Kyröla - Järvenpää - Saunakallio - Jokela - Hyvinkää (Hyvinge) – Riihimäki - Ryttylä - Turenki - Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) - Parola - Iittala - Toijala - Viiala - Lempäälä - Tampere (Tammerfors))''.
Local commuter city trains are in dense area around Helsinki and between Helsinki and Tampere only. PeterOB does not know any other place with commuter trains.
There are '''two floors IC dance floors (with three numbers)''' between Helsinki and Tampere and they can continue more far, like '''Jyväskylä''', '''Pieksämäki'''. Stops for three-numbers IC dance floors are: ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Riihimäki - Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) - Toijala - [Lempäälä] - Tampere (Tammerfors))''. ''Not every IC stops in Lempäälä.'' There are some three-number Pendolinos too between Helsinki and Tampere, they continue from-to Jyväskylä, Pieksämäki. Three-number Pendolino has the same stops like three-number IC, but Pendolinos has only one floor and it is more difficult to hide. Pendolinos are green S2 at idos.cz and like Pendolino at vr.fi.
The '''two-numbers IC''' and '''two-numbers Pendolinos''' stops just only ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Tampere (Tammerfors))'' and IC or Pendolinos with two numbers continues from-to more far cities, like ''Vaasa'', ''Oulu'' or even ''more far north''. So the '''Tikkurila''' is still in area with plenty of commuter dance floors and next stop is already Tampere. But conductor has enough time after Tikkurila to next stop Tampere (more than hour).
'''Three number IC are with two floors, two-number IC are with two floors or only with one floor and Pendolino (with three or two numbers) has only one floor.''' It is much more easy to hide in second floor toilet.
Next type of train is three-number IC dance floor, they are quite common in south Finland. These IC dance floors has two floors and many carriages (around 5-6 usually). These IC go quite fast, up to 200 kph. Distance between stops is around 15-50 km. The carriage with restaurant is in the middle and it is not so high. Lower carriage is home for blue dancers too (blue dancer – conductor). But the Finish conductor don't have blue uniform, but white-green one, like color of most of Finish trains vr.fi. If you have bigger backpack, the place for bicycles, prams and bigger luggage is usually in first or last carriage. But probably not all trains have this place. Bicycles are extra-cost and conductor can ask, whom is it. But if nobody says anything, bicycle can travel free too (any you travel for free, on course).
The three number IC are like green IC with number at idos.cz You can find all stops there.
Conductor does not go usually after every station, but mostly one or few stations after bigger city (Helsinki, Tampere, Lahti, Pori, Turku , Jyväskylä, Pieksämäki). They check ticket with some scanner quite fast. But conductor usually does not check toilets. After one checking, there is usually few stations pause, but sometimes not. If you are captured (out of WC in wrong time), you can buy ticket for short distance (around Eur 15 per 100 km) or just being kicked out. Penalty is Eur 80 + ticket price in all type of trains or city public transport. But if you are not Finish, they can just kick you out.
Most of passengers are in first floor and second floor is relative empty, especially more far after big city in begin. There are passengers going in first-floor toilet, but they go rarely on second-floor toilet. So you can hide there quite easily (just sit like shitting and don't lock the door).
'''The two-number IC dance floors''' (green IC with two numbers at idos.cz and IC with two numbers at wr.fi) runs long journeys with not so many stops (less stops than three-number IC, especially between Helsinki and Tampere). The journey is often from Helsinki to north or back from north to Helsinki. These dance floors have sometimes two floors with restaurant and conductors in the middle (lower wagon). The situation is the same, like in three-number IC dance floors. Most of passengers are at first floor and second floor is quite empty, and second floor toilet is calm. Conductor goes usually after bigger city, usually after last station, that is close to bigger city. Two-numbers IC have much less stops – few stops in Helsinki region ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Tampere (Tammerfors) - ….. far north)''. As you can see – there are three stops in Helsinki region with plenty of city trains and there is no stop between ''Tikkurila – Tampere''. But conductors have a lot of time and they check tickets after bigger city.
Two-floors IC dance floors (two or three numbers) has maximum speed 200 kmh. There are IC dance floors with two numbers and one floor only. But IC dance floors with one floor only can not run 200 kph, but only 140-160 kph. Pendolinos can run 220 kph with tilting. and they go for long journey. This type of train is at idos.cz or vr.fi marked the same like two-floors IC and you probably can not recognize it. One floor IC dance floors goes even far north behind Oulu, like IC27 to Rovaniemi.
'''Some dance floors are Pendolinos.''' Pendolino is high-speed train from Italy and it has difficulties sometimes during Finish winter. Pendolinos are marked like green S2 at idos.cz and like Pendolino at wr.fi and S or S2 at departures table. Pendolino looks the same like one-floor IC. Some Pendolinos are with three numbers and they stops in the same stops, like three number IC and tey are usually with the same speed, like three-number IC. Two-number Pendolinos stops in the same stops, like two-number IC. But the Pendolinos are more quick. Maximum speed for two-floor IC is 200 kph, but Pendolino with tilting can go faster, up to 220 kph. Commuter trains around Helsinki can go up to 120kph.
The price is usually the same for IC or Pendolino, but of course, it is much easier to hide in second floor. Quite a lot of passengers goes to toilet at first floor. And Pendolino has only one floor, not empty toilets in second floor. More passengers are going to toilet. And you can run so easily around conductor in another floor and go to area, where tickets was already checked.
'''One-Number IC and S2 Pendolino Dance Floors (No. 1-12)''' are on journey ''Helsinki – Tikkurila – Lahti (Lahtis) – Kouvola – Simpele – Joensuu''. Theese IC (and Pendolinos) has lower numbers from 1 to 12 (1,3,6,9,11 from Helsinki to Joensuu and 2,4,8,12 from Joensuu to Helsinki). But there is plenty of stops, like with three-number or ICs. PetterOB does not know, why only one-number trains are there. Pendolinos and IC 7 is with one floor, other Trains PetterOB does not know. One Number can be maybe because of speed, or because Joensuu is close to Russia. It is dubious.
'''Express Dance Floors Ex''' – it is only few trains marked like green Ex at idos.cz , like Ex 447 (Pori 6:03- Tampere 7:48), Ex 701 ((Kouvola 16:49 - Kuopio 19:27), and all rare night trains between Helsinki and Kolari. But these night trains are probably the same, like other night trains and Express from Pori to Tampere has the same stops and speed like ICs. PetterOB does not know, how Express look like (one or two floors). Maybe, rare trains can be marked like Express.
'''Night dance floors ICs''' are marked like IC with three numbers, they are marked like ICs during day, but they usually go pretty far. Night ICs has relative the same ammount of stops at begin in evening and close to end in morning, but night ICs has only few stops during night, most of the journey. Night ICs has wagons with beds and probably wagons with seats too. There is restaurand in night ICs (and in most of day ICs and Pendolinos too). Night IC trains has wagon for car transportion for long distance, but transportion of car is pretty expensive. Night ICs has probably one floor only. PetterOB does not try night IC yet. But it is question, how easy is to hide there. It can be possible that more people goes to one bed with one ticket or ticket checking is not so often, so the Toilet Style is possible. Or somewhere behind seat. Probably – conductor has on tablet, which seat or bed should be empty and wich is reserved. And it can be possible to hide in the someone's car or on the car wagon. But it is definitly imposible during winter. Frost with wind is too strong.
Night ICs go usualy between ''[Kemijärvi], Rovaniemi, Kemi, Oulu, Seinäjoki, Tampere, Helsinki'' in both directions. Very rare Ex trains goes between Kolari and Helsinki. Buth some night ICs goes only between Tampere and Turku.
Night Dance Floors: ''IC 273 (Helsinki 21:52 - Rovaniemi 10:40), IC 265 (Helsinki 18:52 - Kemijärvi 8:45), IC 266 (Rovaniemi 18:53 – Helsinki 7:06), IC 274 (Kemijärvi 19:45 – Helsinki 9:00), IC 933 (Turku 21:25 – Tampere 23:22), IC 904 (Tampere 5:56 – Turku7:50).'' Night IC 933 and 904 are probably connected with long-journey night trains.
Kolari-Helsinki: ''Ex 269 (Helsinki 20:52 - Kolari 10:48), Ex 270 (Kolari 18:20 - Helsinki 8:32), Ex 272 (Kolari 18:20 – Helsinki 9:37).'' Theese night express runs just few days during year.
'''Turku-Helsinki''' Turku is city on Baltic coast, the ferry arrives there. There are IC trains with three numbers and two floors. Conductor goes often just one time, after Turku or Helsinki aglomeration. More far from the start of journey- the train is relative empty. IC trains between Turku and Helsinki goes every 1-2 hours. Stops are : ''(Helsinki - Pasila Böle – Leppävaara - [Kirkkonummi] – Karjaa (Karis) – Salo - Kupittaa – Turku Abo - [Turku satama (Abo hamn)]''). Between Kirkkonummi and Helsinki already go lot of commuter trains with random checking only.
'''From Turku to Helsinki trains goes:'''
I''C 942 5:32-7:25, IC 944 6:22-8:15, S2 976 Pendolino 7:08-8:46'' (stops only Turku Abo - Kupittaa - Pasila Böle – Helsinki), ''IC 946 7:30-9:23, IC 948 8:30-10:23'', starts 8:10 in harbour Turku satama (Abo hamn) after ferry arrival, ''IC 950 9:30-11:23, IC 954 11:30-13:23, S2 958 Pendolino 13:30-15:23'', same stops like ICs, ''IC 960 14:30-16:23, IC 982 15:21-17:23, IC 984 16:21-18:23, IC 986 17:17-19:26, stops in Kirkkonummi, IC 968 18:30-20:23, IC 972 20:30-22:26'', stops in Kirkkonummi, starts 20:20 in harbour Turku satama (Abo hamn) after ferry arrival, the last one.
'''From Helsinki to Turku:'''

'''Turku – Tampere'''
As you know, ferry from Sweden arrives to Turku. From Turku to Tampere goes three-number IC train with two floors. It takes 1 hour 42 minutes or similar time and it is only 4 stops. Trains goes once a two hours usually. Stops are ''([Turku satama (Abo hamn)] - Turku Abo – Loimaa – Humppila – Toijala – Tampere (Tammerfors))''. '''Toijala''' is station between Helsinki and Tampere, where all three-number IC between Helsinki and Tampere stops and Commuter City R train between Helsinki and Tampere stops in Toijala too. It is always the same three stops between Tampere and Turku Abo, and Toijala is station with plenty other trains.
'''From Turku to Tammpere:'''
''IC 905 7:00-8:42, IC 909 9:05-10:47'', after 4 hours ''IC 917 13:05-14:47, IC 921 15:05-16:47, IC 923 16:05-17:47, IC 927 18:05-19:47, IC 931 20:05-21:47'', starts in harbour Turku satama (Abo hamn) 19:45 after ferry arrival, ''IC 933 21:25-23:22''. IC 933 is night train with beds and wagon for cars transporting, probably only with one floor, but idos.cz shows that IC 933 goes only from Turku to Tampere.
From Tampere to Turku:
''IC 904 5:56-7:50'', It is night IC with beds and wagon for cars and if goes only from Tampere to Turku and IC 904 continue to harbour Turku satama (Abo hamn) 8:09.

'''Turku-Pori'''
Pori is in Baltic coast, more north than Turku (the same level like Tampere). '''There is not train or dancing line directly between Turku to Pori.''' One possibility is dancing from Turku to Tampere and by another IC train from Tampere to Pori, but it is more stops and quite long. The same with journey from Pori to Turku.
But there is quite big road E8 between Turku-Rauma-Pori and E8 continue by Baltic coast to Vaasa, Oulu, Kemi, Tornio (North Baltic point, SE-FI border). So it is possible to hitchhike between Turku and Pori. Probability of getting to bus for free is dubious. There is dancing line Tampere-Rauma too, but probably no trains goes today there.
'''Tampere-Pori'''
Three-number IC dance floors goes there, usually once a 3 hours. These dance floors should have two floors, not so many passengers and empty toilets, especially in second floor. Conductor probably check just one time after Tampere or Pori and only rarely again during journey. There is big road between Tampere, Nokia, Pori too for hitchiking. Dancing line is out of this road after Nokia. Stops are: ''(Tampere(Tammerfors) – Nokia – Karkku – Vammala – Kokemäki (Kumo) – Harjavalta – Pori (Björneborg))''. Stops all always the same and train always starts and ends in Tampere-Pori, except morning ''IC 164'' – it continue from Tampere to Helsinki. Journey between Pori and Tampere takes about 1.5 hour.
'''From Tampere to Pori:'''
''Ex 447 6:03-7:48'', the same stops like ICs, maybe different train from ICs (only one floor ?), it does not go at Saturday, ''IC 461 8:07-9:37, IC 465 12:15-13:47, IC 467 14:15-15:47, IC 469 16:15-17:47, IC 471 18:15-19:47, IC 473 20:07-21:37, IC 475 21:07-23:37''.

'''Helsinki – Tampere.'''
There are plenty of trains between Tampere and Helsinki. The commuter city trains goes with lot of people ''from Helsinki to Riihimäki'', there is plenty of commuter trains without real checking. Conductors only sell tickets. First part of '''R-train''' (R at idos.cz, R at vr.fi or departure table) continues with not so many people ''from Riihimäki to Tampere'' (it is like another train from Riihimäki to Tampere). The R commuter train goes from Tampere to Riihimäki and Helsinki too, and stops in all stops between Tampere and Kerava (Kervo). There is more stops and plenty of city trains between Kerava (Kervo) and Helsinki. R commuter city train goes once a two hours between Tampere and Riihimäki, but there are much more trains between Riihimäki and Helsinki. R train has lot of stops and almost all stops are without waiting room, even stops with IC.
Stops with R train (R at Helsinki map, R at idos.cz – all commuter trains are marked R at idos.cz ) are: ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Kerava (Kervo) - Kyröla - Järvenpää - Saunakallio - Jokela - Hyvinkää (Hyvinge) – Riihimäki - Ryttylä - Turenki - Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) - Parola - Iittala - Toijala - Viiala - Lempäälä - Tampere (Tammerfors))''.
The '''IC trains with three numbers''' and two floors goes quite often, usually once a hour between Helsinki and Tampere. These IC trains can continue from-to more far north, like Jämsä, Jyväskylä, Pieksämäki or another place.
Stops are: ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Riihimäki - Hämeenlinna/Tavastia - Toijala - [Lempäälä] - Tampere(Tammerfors) - Orivesi - Jämsä - Jyväskylä - Hankasalmi – Pieksämäki)''.
'''Two-number IC''' can have one or two floors, the IC with one floor is almost the same like '''Pendolino''' (S2 at idos.cz). Two-number IC or Pendolinos goes between Tampere and Helsinki usually once a hour, sometimes once a two hours. Last stop in Helsinki is '''Tikkurila''' (still with plenty of city trains) and next stop is '''Tampere'''. The same situation is in direction from Tampere to Helsinki. These two-number IC and Pendolinos has not so many stops, because they continue from-to far north, like Jyväskylä, Vaasa, Oulu, or even more far north.
Many three number ICs and some three number Pendolinos goes only from Helsinki to Tampere with all stops ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Riihimäki - Hämeenlinna/Tavastia - Toijala - [Lempäälä] – Tampere(Tammerfors))''.
Some two number ICs and three number Pendolinos goes to '''Jyväskylä''' and '''Pieksämäki''' With less stops between Helsinki and Tampere: ''(Helsinki - Pasila (Böle) - Tikkurila - Tampere(Tammerfors) - Orivesi - Jämsä - Jyväskylä - Hankasalmi – Pieksämäki)''.
'''Helsinki – Tampere - Jyväskylä - Pieksämäki'''
There are three-number Pendolinos and three-number ICs with two floor or some two-number ICs with less stops. There are some local trains from Tampere to Hankasalmi and from Hankasalmi to Jyväskylä too, but with more stops and it looks only one a day.

'''Helsinki - Tampere - Seinäjoki - Vaasa'''
There are two-number IC trains with two floors and not so many stops. Second floor is quite empty and conductor go often after big city, but he do not check toilet usually. But more often are on this journeys Pendolinos with two number and with not so many stops (Green S2 at idos.cz and Pendolino at wr.fi). Pendolino is fast dance floor, but only with one floor. It means that more people go to toilet and you can not run around conductor in another floor to area, where tickets was already checked. Two-floor IC dance floors run up to 200 kmh, Pendolinos are even faster. '''Seinäjoki''' is crossroad with dancing line to Vaasa and Oulu. Not so many trains per day goes directly Helsinki-Tampere-Vaasa, but there are buses or Pendolinos between Vaasa and Seinäjoki connected in Seinäjoki with long journey train between Oulu abd Helsinki. It is just one stop by bus and two stops with Pendolino between Vaasa and Seinäjoki. Buses belongs to vr.fi too, but it is dubious, if you can get inside this bus. PetterOB haven't tried yet.

'''Helsinki – Tampere – Seinäjoki – Oulu - (Rovaniemi)'''
This is main dancing line with most of long-joirney IC and Pendolino dance floors with two numbers. There are two ways between Helsinki and Oulu. First is '''through Tampere and Seinäjoki'''. The IC and Pendolino dance floors runs this journey usually once a 2-3 hours. The number of stops is various, some ICs or Pendolinos has more stops and some are with less stops. Seinäjoki is the station, when dancing line splits to Vaasa and Oulu. There are pendolinos and busses between Seinäjoki and Vaasa, which are connected with trains between Helsinki, Tampere, Oulu. And some two-numbers ICs ans Pendolinos goes to Vaasa. You can get first to Seinäjoki by any train and choose direction to Vaasa or Oulu after (better tactic against be kicked out). All IC and Pelnolinos has two numbers and do not stop between Tikkurila and Tampere. IC dance floors between Helsinki and Vaasa are with two floors and some ICs between Helsinki and Oulu are with two floors and some only with one floor. For example IC 27 has only one floor and it can go probably faster than 200 kmh. IC 27 goes quite fast from Helsinki to Rovaniemi.
There are two night IC with pretty long journey in both directions. Stops close to begin and end are more often, but there are not so many stops between Tampere and Oulu. Night ICs: ''IC 273 (Helsinki 21:52 - Rovaniemi 10:40), IC 265 (Helsinki 18:52 - Kemijärvi 8:45), IC 266 (Rovaniemi 18:53 – Helsinki 7:06), IC 274 (Kemijärvi 19:45 – Helsinki 9:00), IC 933 (Turku 21:25 – Tampere 23:22), IC 904 (Tampere 5:56 – Turku 7:50)''. Night IC 933 and 904 are probably connected with long-journey night trains.
Between Oulu and Rovaniemi some IC trains (during night and day) are only Oulu-Rovaniemi, but some goes from - To Helsinki or Kupio. There are some Express trains on this line between Helsinki and Kolari (Night trains), but theese trains goes only few times per year probably.

'''Helsinki – Lahti – Kouvola - (Joensuu) – Kuopio – Oulu - (Rovaniemi)'''
The second journey between Helsinki and Oulu is not through Tampere and Seinäjoki, but through '''Lahti (Lahtis ), Kouvola and Kuopio'''. But this journey is not so good, because there is more stops and less trains. Two number ICs and Pendolinos goes whole journey ''Helsinki - Lahti (Lahtis ) - Kouvola - Kuopio – Oulu'', but with pretty many stops. Some three-number ICs goes only between Kuopio, Oulu (Rovaniemi) with quite lot of stops.
Some two-number ICs or Pendolinos goes only Helsinki - Lahti (Lahtis ) - Kouvola – Kuopio. Trains between Helsinki and Kuopio (some trains continues from-to Oulu) goes once a 1-3 hour. But it is pretty many stops.
'''There are one(two) number ICs and Pendolinos between Helsinki and Joensuu (Numbers range 1-12)'''. Trains with number ''1,3,5,7,9,11'' go from Helsinki to Joensuu and trains with number ''2,4,6,8,10,12'' from Joensuu to Helsinki. It is strange, why is only one-number there. Maybe trains are faster there or Joensuu is close to Russia or something else. One-Number trains are with fewests stops, just only ''Tikkurila-Lahti-Kouvola'', '''Kouvola''' is place, where ICs and Pendolinos goes 5 more stops to Kuopio.Some trains goes between Helsinki and Kajaani (Kajana), but not so many trains. Theese trains goes through Kuopio too. Some ICs or Pendolinos can go between Imatra and Helsinki. These trains stops in Kouvola too.

'''Helsinki-Lahti-Kouvola'''
There is usually once a 1-2 hours Pendolino or IC train with two (or only one or three) numbers, these dance floors (IC or Pendolino with one or two numbers) '''does not stop between Tikkurila''' (in area with a lot of city trains) and '''Lahti'''. It is only around 33 minutes. Trains with number from 1 to 12 are best for going further, they go from-to ''Joensuu''. With all two-number or one-number IC or Pendolino - next stop after Lahti (Lahtis) is already Kouvola, where dancing line splits to Kuopio and Joensuu. It is only around 27 minutes between Kouvola and Lahti. Some ICs or Pendolinos can go between Imatra and Helsinki (two or three numbers IC or Pendolino). These trains stops just in Tikkurila, Lahti and Kouvola too.
There is around every 30-60 min '''commuter city dance floor between Helsinki and Lahti'''. This train is without checking, conductors just sell tickets, if somebody wants. Trains are like blue R – regional at idos.cz, but the letter on Helsinki map and departure board will be another It takes just 61 minutes from Helsinki to Lahti, this train does not stop so much in every stop. Stops are ''Helsinki – Pasila (Böle) – Tikkurila – Kerava (Kervo) – Haarajoki – Mäntsälä – Lahti (Lahtis).'' Kerava (Kervo) is still with plenty of commuter trains and the dancing line splits there to Tampere and Lahti.
There are international trains from Helsinki to St. Pettersburg in Russsia too (red INT or green AE at idos.cz). Thee train stops in Lahti and Kouvola too. But as you know, the international train from-to Russia has very hard border checking and you need visa. Hard checking can be any time in this train. This train even does not stop in Pasila (Böle).
'''Helsinki – St. Petersburg – (Moscow)'''
There is international train (with reservation obligatory) between Helsinki (Finland) and St. Petersburg (Russia). It is '''Allegro''' fast train with only floor, it looks like Pendolino (green '''AE''' or red '''INT''' at idos.cz). This train even does not stop at Pasila (Böle). This train belongs to Finish Company vr.fi too. There are 4 trains per day in both directions St. Petersburk – Helsinki. Journey takes 3:27 hours. From Helsinki to St. Petersburg all stations in Finland are for boarding only and all stations in Russia are only for getting off. From St. Petersburg to Helsinki all stations in Russia are for boarding only and all stations in Russia are only for getting off. Trains are at idos.cz like green AE and at least first train from Helsinki AE 782 is marked too like red INT 782 with all stations for boarding and getting off. Vainikkala is the small village on border, there is border crossing FI-RU.
And of course, there is quite hart checking by border or it can be any time during journey. Not ticket checking, but passports and Visa checking, or if you smuggle something. And ticket checking can be hard too. You need visa to Russia and you have to know, where you go before. Visa can cost Eur 50-100 and it tan be difficult with offices to get visa.
Stops are always the same: ''(Helsinki FI, Tikkurila FI, Lahti (Lahtis) FI, Kouvola FI, Vainikkala FI-RU border crossing, Viipuri (Vyborg) RU, St Petersburg Finlya RU)''.
'''From Helsinki to St. Petersburg''' - ''INT 782 RED/AE 782 GREEN (Helsinki 7:20 - St Petersburg Finlya 10:47), INT 784 RED/AE 784 GREEN (Helsinki 11:00 - St Petersburg Finlya 14:27), INT 786 RED/AE 786 GREEN (Helsinki 16:00 - St Petersburg Finlya 19:27), INT 788 RED/AE 788 GREEN (Helsinki 20:00 - St Petersburg Finlya 23:27)''.

There is once a day in one direction night train (green ''N'''Z at idos.cz) '''between Helsinki and Moscow'''. These trains are with beds and maybe with seats too. These trains does tot stops so much between St. Petersburg and Moscow (only one station '''Tver'''). But of course, you need this visa and checking visa, passports or if you smuggle something, it is probably hard. And ticket checking can be hard too. These trains are by Russian train company. Vainikkala is the small village on border, there is border crossing FI-RU. Night trains (NZ 30 and NZ 31) stops at another St. Petersburg platform St Petersburg Ladogskii, but trains INT-AE during day start-end at St Petersburg Finlya.

'''DEATH BY EXAM'''
'''Only really big trains stations in big cities has waiting room with heating. Most of stations with commuter city trains around Helsinki and even most of stations with IC trains (even sometimes two-number ICs) are without waiting room.''' And waiting rooms in big stations are probably closed during night. There are quite lot of IC trains between Turku-Helsinki, Helsinki-Lahti or Helsinki-Tampere. The next train goes after one of two hours. But between Pori-Tampere or Tampere Turku is time to next train already 3-4 hours. Between Kouvola-Kuopio or Kouvola-Joensuu, is time to next train 3-4 hours. On the line Tampere-Vaasa-Seinäjoki -Oulu is time to next train 2-4 hours, not all trains stops in all stops. Between Kuopion and Oulu is time time to next train around 4 hours, there are around 3-4 trains per day. But not all trains stops in all stops. Between Oulu and Rovaniemi is interval to next train 3-4 hours and there is only one train per day in one direction between Rovaniemi and Kemjäarvi. Trains between Kemi and Kolari are really rare. Night trains goes only Helsinki-Tampere-Oulu-Rovaniemi, two trains per night in one direction. If you are kicked out from last train, then text train will go at morning.
Like in Sweden and Norway, '''Death during exam is possible in winter time, in case, that you fail, and waiting room is not in your station (or waiting room is closed during night)'''.
Hitchiking can be difficult sometime, because there are not so many cars except between big cities. Some smaller road or roads in whole Lapland can be only with few cars and you can wait on the road many hours. Cars can goes only one per 1-5 minutes even in bigger roads. In smaller roads or in Lapland it can be one car per 10 minutes or even one car per hour (and temperature bellow -30 degrees). And people are in this time more afraid to take hitchhikers. And some roads can be closed during winter, because of snow.
But in winter in deep frost, you can go to police station and they should let you be there during night. And if you tell that you have no place to sleep and you refuse leave train in cold weather, conductor can call police and police let you be at station during night or even conductor let you travel, if you are polite. It works in Norway and Sweden too, during cold winter. The same in the bus. Bus driver can let you travel, if you are polite. You can get fine in train, it is Eur 80 plus ticket price, but if you are not finish, you don't need to pay.
Finland has coldest winters from all countries in Shengen - European Union (winter in north Finland is often colder than in Svalbard, but Greenland is much colder). Reason is position – Finland is quite far from Ocean and Scandinavian mountains blocked warm air from Atlantic. But most of Finland is flat with a lot of lakes and cold continental Arctic air from Russia can easily flow through lowlands. And of course, Finland is north, most south part of Finland is already 59.8 degrees, more north than whole Denmark and big part of Sweden-Norway. End of Baltic Sea is 65,8 degrees north and Oulu is already 65 degrees, Rovaniemi is by Arctic circle, Inari 68.9 deg, Ustjoki 69.9 deg and most north point of Finland by Nuorgam is 70.09 degrees north.
The actual temperature (UTC time, actualization every 3 hours) you can find here: meteomodel.pl/AKT/IMG/temp99.png , past weather and climate you can find here for many places in Finland you can find here: en.tutiempo.net/climate/finland.html The weather forecast you can find at yr.no for any town in Norway-Europe-World or at en.tutiempo.net too.
Winter temperature can go easily even around Helsinki bellow -20 or -25, sometimes around Tampere can be -30 degrees. Area around Kupio-Oulu is with snow since Autumn to April – May and sometimes snow blocked roads. Temperature is here between 0 and -20 usually, can be here -20 to -30, sometimes -35. Winter temperature in Rovaniemi area is from 0 to -30 normal winter temperature, it is various. But it can be here -40 during night and -30 during day. There can be a lot of snow, more than one meter, during winter and roads can be closed.
In Sami region is no train, only buses and cars. There is not so many cars especially in winter (tourist go there during summer). There is snow until May-June and winter temperature is -20 normal, sometimes bellow -30, but sometimes even bellow -40 and -35 during day. There are almost no cars on the roads in some regions and more than one meter snow, roads can be closed.
The day length in December is in December in south just from 9-10am to 2-4pm, but around Oulu is day length only 2-5 hours and long twilight. Around Rovaniemi is only 1 hour day length but 2-4 more hours twilight. There is whole December Sun behind Horizon in Inari, but few hours of twilight (Sun is not so deep behind Horizon). Day length in June is huge. Even in Helsinki Sun is only 3-5 hours behind horizon, but not so deep and whole night is little bit of light. Sun goes only around 1 hour behind horizon in Oulu in June. But Sun is not so deep behind horizon and there is a lot of light whole night. There is Arctic circle in Rovaniemi, it means that 21th June Sun just tough horizon around midnight. And in Inari, or more far north Sun never goes behind horizon, but Sun makes circle on the sky during day.
Finland is with plenty of lakes, it means a lot of mosquitoes in Summer. Situation around Helsinki is not so terrible, but there are quite a lot of mosquitoes in central Finland. And around Sami Land, Inari, Rovaniemi, there are huge swarms of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes does not bring any diseases, but huge swarms of mosquitoes all time, it is difficult.
'''Oulu- Kemi – Tornio - Kolari and back'''
Kemi is station, where the dancing line splits first branch to Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi, and second branch to Tornio, Kolari – most north station in Finland. The line from Kemi to Kolari goes through the road and rail road split little bit behind Kemi to Tervola, Muurola and Rovaniemi with road E 75 and second branch of railway and road goes to Tornio (border SE-FI and most north point of Baltic see), the rail-road continues to Kolari with road E8 by Sweden-Finland border. In small town Kolari rail-road ends and E8 continue to point NO-SE-FI in mountains and to Tromso in Norway, Atlantic coast. Arctic circle is between station Ylitornio and Pello, quite close to Pello.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolari_railway_station
There should be night train from Helsinki, Tampere to Kolari, by vr.fi (and it cost Eur 88). idos.cz first does not want to find train to Kolari, but now, if have found. It is night train with beds and wagon for cars Ex 269. But it looks like ex 269 does not go every day. Ex 269 goes from 29th April – 1st May, 15th, 17th and 18th July only. There can be some another trains too, but trains to Kolari seems to be very rare.
Trains for passengers are super rare, but there is rail-road in use. There can be some cargo trains, probably with wood. There is a lot of lakes, forest in this area and a lot of mosquitoes in Summer. So it can be possible to hind some HOBO (taking freight trains or freight hoping) and travel by train hoping on wood. The rail-road ends little bit behind Kolari, there can be some freight trains.
Ex 269: ''(Helsinki 20:52, Pasila (Böle) 20:57-21:00, Tikkurila 21:41-21:44, Riihimäki 22:19-22:22, Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) 22:46-22:48, Tampere (Tammerfors) 23:36-23:59, Seinäjoki 1:53-1:56, Kokkola (Karleby) 3:36-3:39, Ylivieska 4:30-4:32, Oulu (Uleaborg) 5:52-6:22, Kemi 7:45-7:48, Tornio Itäinen 8:13-8:16, Ylitornio 9:08-9:12, Pello 9:59-10:02, Kolari 10:48)''
From Kolari to south (to Helsinki) goes only few trains, like Ex 270 and Ex 272. Ex 270 goes only 29-30th April and 17th June and Ex 272 goes only 1st May and 15th, 18th June. Both are night trains with beds and wagon for cars.
Ex 270: ''(Kolari 18:20, Pello 19:07-19:09, Ylitornio 19:57-19:59, Tornio Itäinen 20:49-20:51, Kemi 21:16-21:20, Oulu (Uleaborg) 22:38-23:10, Ylivieska 0:43-0:46, Kokkola (Karleby) 1:45-1:49, Seinäjoki 3:28-3:31, Tampere (Tammerfors) 5:35-5:43, Toijala 6:08-6:10, Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) 6:35-6:37, Riihimäki 7:00-7:02, Tikkurila 7:46-7:48, Pasila (Böle) 8:24-8:26, Helsinki 8:32)'' .
Ex 272 : ''(Kolari 18:20, Pello 19:07-19:09, Ylitornio 19:57-19:59, Tornio Itäinen 20:49-20:51, Kemi 21:16-21:20, Oulu (Uleaborg) 22:38-23:10, Ylivieska 0:43-0:46, Kokkola (Karleby) 1:45-1:49, Seinäjoki 3:28-3:31, Tampere (Tammerfors) 5:35-6:22, Toijala 6:49-7:01, Hämeenlinna (Tavastia) 7:26-7:53, Riihimäki 8:16-8:18, Tikkurila 8:58-9:00, Pasila (Böle) 9:29-9:31, Helsinki 9:37)''.
'''Tornio''' is big crossroad, border SE-FI on Baltic coast. There is no train to Sweden, but main road to Lulea, first Swedish train station. But Tornio is not the same like station Tervola after Kemi on the way to Rovaniemi. Tervola is already behnd crossroad.
'''TO SAMI LAND AND FINMARK'''
'''To Sami land and lakes, Ivalo, Inari, and Finmark – Norway (Tromso, Alta, Nordkapp, Kirkenes, Vardoe)'''
'''There is no no dancing line more far in Lapland, to Sami region'''. The last town with good train connection is Rovaniemi. North edge of Rovaniemi is on Arctic circle. Only once a day train go to Misi and Kemijärvi, but theese stations are out of main road E75, Rovaniemi is the best. Kemijärvi is close to big lake in Lapland.
There is bus going from Rovaniemi to Inari and probably some busses goes from Inari to Norway too. But buses are quite empty, not so often and it can be difficult to take bus for free.
Hitchhiking on the road from Rovaniemi should be good, but ammount of cars is dubious. Road E75 goes from Rovaniemi to crossroad in village '''Vikajärvi'''. Road No. 82 goes from Vikajärvi to east, to big lake and Kemijärvi, Misi is about 10 km south from this road. The main road E75 continues to nort, to Sami region. E75 is main road, but not with lot of cars. Population density is very low and villages and towns are only small (Rovaniemi is last big town). Distances between villages and towns is quite big. But a lot of tourist goes to north in warm half-year.
First bigger town (not small village) is '''Sodankilä''', around 67,4 degrees north. There is crossroad in Sodankilä. '''E75''' goes south to Rovaniemi and north to '''Inari''', '''E63''' goes first to south-east but after a while to south – to ''Kemijärvi''. The road No. 80 goes to Kittilä and from Kittilä to south-west to Kolari. Road No. 79 goes from Kittila to south to Rovaniemi and to north-west to bbig lake Jerisjärvi and to town Muonio. Muonio is on Swedish Border and there is E8 to Norway-Sweden-Finland point and Tromso.
'''E75''' continues more north from Sodankilä to big lakes around 68,0-68,3 degrees north (lakes are few kilometers from road), there is no town, only small village Vuoma-Vuosto. Here really low population density is. There is small town or village Ivalo, around 68,55 degrees north. There is river in Ivalo, plenty of lakes and plenty of mosquitos around. From Ivalo goes too road No. 91 to East-South to Russian border, but porobably almost to cars on this road.
Little bit north from '''Ivalo''' (couple of 10km), around 68,75 degrees are two big lakes. Ukonjärvi lake close to road in east side and Rahajärvi in west. And finally, the '''Inari''' is around 68.9 degrees north, at '''E75''', there is town Inari, town of sami culture. It is about '''350 km north from Arctic Circle and Rovaniemi'''. There are hotels and museum, which can be good for dumpster diving and you can try even free breakfast in hotel. There is big lake close to Inari – Juutuanvuono, river or bay through Inari, many small lakes and plenty of mosquitos in Summer. Inari is in the middle of Sami culture and Lapland, many tourist from south goes there. But winter is terrible there. There is even airport in Inari, but in is not possible get in without ticket and it is non-ecological.
'''From Inari E75 continues to Finish-Norway border'''. At 69,135 degrees – there is ''crossroad E75 to north and road no 92, parking Kaamanen'', 3-4 km north from Kaamanen village. There is river and lot of small lakes. ''Road No. 92 goes to Norway'', North-West_West direction and just behind NO-FI border road No. 92 connect with E6 in vilage '''Karasjohka'''. From Karasjohka road E6 continue by Norway-Finish border to small villages in NO-FI border '''Utsjoki'''.
'''E75''' continues from Inari and Kaamanen to north to '''Norway-Finish border – Utsjoki'''. There is river by this way and some small villages, lot of lakes. Utsjoki is 69.88-69.91 degrees north. In Utsjoki E6 and E75 from Inari meet. There is meeting of big Tana river by FI-NO border with river from Inari and a lot of lakes. Bridge through Tana River between FI and NO and Custom is in Utsjoki. There is e6 Karasjohka - Tana Bru - Varangebotn in Norwegian side and road 970 from Ustjoki to Nuorgam and Varangebotn in Finland. Nourgam (70.081) is most north point of Finland (exactly most north point is about 3 km eas t from Nuorgam - by Tana river (river side 70.092,27.950, in water 70.0923,27.9555 by OSM)).

''See also [[Deutsche BahnGermany#Railways]] and [[Germany#RailwaysDeutsche Bahn]]'' === Schönes Wochenende Tickets === On the weekends, it's easy to hitch regional trains with other people's group tickets. There's a ticket valid for up to five people on regional trains throughout Germany on Saturday and Sunday called the '''Schönes Wochenende Ticket''', which is generally cheaper than a round trip ticket or two tickets. The result is that any group from two to four people is using one of these tickets, and has a free spot. Simply get on any regional train (not IC or ICE) or walk around the platform before the train arrives. Ask groups of people if they're traveling with a SW ticket and if they have a free spot on the ticket. Usually they will let you ride for free, but if they ask for a few euros, you can always barter (another person doesn't cost them any more) or ask more people. On most regional trains, there's someone who will let you ride for free. Beware of rideshares (mitfahrgelegenheit), which always ask for money. When you reach your ticket-holder's destination, ask if they still need the ticket! If they're transferring or taking the S-Bahn, they will probably use the same ticket. But if not, they will probably give you their ticket and you can use it to continue on your way. The tickets are non-transferable, but you can take it even if they wrote their name on it. You will rarely be asked to ID yourself, and if you do get ID'd, just say the written name is your nickname.

:''I'm sorry, the last thing is not completely true. In the night train from Munich to Rome I was controlled 5 (!) times, 3 times on the Italian side.''
:''Besides, on night trains they DO check regularly. Years ago it was much looser, but not anymore''
''PeterOB was dancing by night IC dance floors in autumn 2016. Sometimes (train from Germany to Rome), they do not check during a trip. But all coupes can be full and locked and you have to stay in corridor (conductor will easily see you) or WC. Empty coupes are not locked. But generally - conductor has in tablet, which coupe is reserved and where should be free. And they check sometimes. Night trains are always with police.''
[[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] went to sea in Italy near Venecia and Padova in June 2015 and he was dancing a lot in this area. Another trip was in autumn 2016 from Insbruck to Palermo in 24 hours. It was scariest dance action ever. But who want to sleep in cold Alps, if we can go to ball ?
Next type of dance floor is FS Treno '''FB FRECCIABIANCA '''. This type of train have probably one conductor two conductors and about 5-9 long carriages, you can see all carriage area (no coupes) and but not to other carriages. FS trains usually go for long distance, hunderds kilometers and distance between stops is 30-80 km. Speed of this train is quite fast, [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] thinks about 100-180 km/h between stops, so dance is relative fast. Conductor go usually once 2-4 stops (or more) and probably check all passengers, not only new passengers. As you can see in information board, this type of trains required seat reservation (maybe because of a lot of passengers and maybe for checking tickets) and ticket is more expensive than in regional train, but you travel compete free. Amount of passengers is quite big, but sometimes not so big. Interval to next train is usually 1 hour and trains go from early morning to late evening. It is not like in Treno Alta Velocita (AV at departure table), where conductor have in tablet, which seat is free and which seat should be checked.
'''Some FS dance floors are ''Treno Alta velocita''. ''' ''If you want to dance enjoy fast and scarydancing, this is good type of dance floor for it. This type '' There are four types of FS trains have same distance between stops but speed of this type of train can be faster. FS dance floors ''Treno Alta velocita looks like high speed train Velocita '' (PendolinoAV at departure board) . Dancing is really scary and fast, somewhere 200-250 kph, somewhere (Between Roma and there are information monitors inside Napoli or Between Firenze and wifi inside tooBolonga, the speed is up to 300 kph). 300 kph is maximum dancing speed by law in Italy. But the password for wifi 360 kph dancing speed is probably on ticketplanned since 2018. This type There are a lot of train have probably one conductor and maybe restaurant wagondance floors Treno Alta Velocita between ''Bolonga – Firenze – Roma – Napoli '', conductor check tickets probably usualy once 215-5 stops30 min. Ticket for FS There is no stop between Napoli and Roma Termini byt Treno Alta Velocita can me more expensive (it is 4 stops with EC trains) and of coursestops with AV trains are usually ''Milano, Bolonga, Firenze, Roma Tiburtina, Roma Tremini, with reservation obligatoryNapoli Centrale (CLE) ''. You can use the same tricks like in FS Some AV trains or regional goes between ''Bolonga and Padova and Venezia '', some trains. If you are find that you travel without ticketAV stops in ''Arrezo '', you probably will be kicked out at next but some AV trains do not stop between Bolonga and Rome or conductor might ask you for passport. There are no coops or security on trains some AV dance floors does not stop between Milano and Rome (PeterOB hopetrip takes around 130 min), and next stops is up 100 km away.
N '''ight dance floors ICN or ECN ''', they go during night. Interval between stops is about 50-100 (or even 300+) km and journey length is quite long, usually more than 1000 km. There are only 1-2 night trains per night. Night trains can go from-to ''Germany or France '', usually to ''Rome '' or ''Milano '' and some trains go from ''Rome '' or ''Milano '' to ''Sicily (Siracusa, Palermo) '', or from Sicily to Milano or Rome. This trains have a lot of stops in Sicily, and close to Milano and Rome, but between '''Sicily ''' ( ''Villa S. Giovanni '' is station in main Italy with ferry to ''Messina '' in Sicily) and '''Rome ''' night trains have not so much stops (train from Sicily to Rome stop in Villa S. Giovanni and next stop is ''Formia'' and ''Latina '' close to Rome. Another night train from Sicily stops at ''Villa S. Giovanni'' and next stop is ''Salerno '' and ''Napoli'') PeterOB was dancing in night trains. Night trains have beds only and there is reservation for coupes or beds and some coupes are booked with passengers and some coupes are free. You can go in some free coupe with open door and close the door. Conductor usually do not look inside coupe. But if the passengers in some stop later have reserved this coupe, they will go inside and they can call conductor. And if you will go from some coupe to another coupe, some passengers can give echo to conductor. '''Conductor has in tablet, which coupe have reservation and which coupe should be free. ''' But some conductors do not check ticket during whole journey, but they often check in regulary, not like few years before, it was free.If all coupes with beds are occupied, you can try to hide in toilet, washing room or just stay in corridor. Conductor goes after big station between stations with long time or after 2-3 stations, which are not so far.PeterOB traveled in night train from Munich to Rome, and all coupes were occupied, so he stay in corridor. And conductor did not check ticket during journey, but in Verona – train split to Milano and Rome and conductor was outside, he found him. Peter OB was traveled in another night train from Sicily and he was hiding in free coupe. But new passengers came and some passengers give echo to conductor. PeterOB was kicked out and conductor gave echo to another night train. '''Main station ''Roma Termini'' has ticket checking before entering on platform ''' (In Roma Termini probably always, in Roma Airport during day usually, but who knows). There are fences around and some doors are for exit and some doors are for getting on platform. But conductors sometimes (usually during day) are in every door and they check hardly tickets. PeterOB tried to get to platform and he was always pulled back. PeterOB saw it only in Roma Termini station. In many another stations (include Bolzano, Verona, Napoli, Padova, Venezia) is free access on platform, only in Roma Termini not. If you are in Roma Termini, do not go out or close to exit (be hidden between many people in platform). There is big departure table and you can check departures for trains and their stops and type of train ''(R, IC, ICN, EC, AV)''. If you want to get in platform, you can buy cheap ticket for 1-2 stations in Treno Regionale and you go in any train, or you can get by Roma public transport (Tram, Bus) to station Roma Tiburtina with free entry and take some train to Roma Termini (it is one stop and plenty of trains goes there). '''Generally – black dancing in Italy very easy ''' (more Easy than in maybe all European countries). Classic hitchiking is very difficult in Italy but PeterOB think that Spain is worse. There are no places for stay on the road in North Italy, roads are narrow and cars have not place to stops (narrow road, a lot of cars behind) and you have not place for stay in most of cases. You can hitchike in fuel station, but not so much drivers stops. And it can be not allowed in petrol pump or many places near road, the fine is Eur 21, be careful about coops arriving. North is better because of a lot of German, Austrian cars go by motorway. In Sicily – hitchikng is still not so easy, but better. And some regions are really easy. Police usually just pass around, sometimes, they check ID, because of immigrants and lot of criminality there. Sometimes – police can send you to bus station. One more think. '''Dumpster diving ''' is sometimes easy in Italy and trashes behind supermarket are usually accessible. Trashes behind hotels, pensions or restaurants are good too. Some food is too in small trashesin street. And in summer is are markets in center of town and there are many garbage – fruits and vegetables at the end of market (in afternoon or evening), because some fruit or vegetable can not be sold next day. Distance to supermarket can be sometimes long. There are public transport – buses, trams in Cities and it is easy to take it for freein big city. Fine is not so highand you will never pay. But there in smaller cities are entering only by front door (and you have to buy ticket from driver) in buses . If you ask in some shop, they usually give you some leftovers too, but it is not so easy in smaller townsbig supermarket. There is '''long journey from North to south ''', from Bolzano to Palermo (Stops with AV trains - Treno Alta Velocita). You usually change train at Roma or Napoli. There is ferry for trains to Sicily. Let’s explore stops for long journey dance floors (Not Treno Regionalle). Long journey trains (AV, IC, EC) goes usually once a 15 minutes - 4 hours (depends, where you are) and there are some night trains. Stops with ''Treno Alta Velocita '' between ''Bolzano-Roma(Napoli) '' are: ''Bolzano/Bozen, Trento, Rovereto, Verona Porta Nuova, Bologna Centrale, Firenze S,M.N. (sometimes Firenze Campo di Marte), (simetimes Arrezo), Roma Tiburtina, Roma Termini, Napoli Centrale (CLE) ''.Second Variant ''Bolzano/Bozen, Ora/Auer, Mezzocorona, Trento, Rovereto, Verona Porta Nuova, Orvieto , Roma Tiburtina, Roma Termini ''. As you can see, AV trains are ''without stop between Napoli and Roma '' and the stops are not always the same for all long journey (and quite fast) trains. AV trains goes between Napoli and Roma every 15-60 minutes usually during day and it is about 70 minutes between Roma and Napoli with 290-300 kph in big part of journey. Stops '''from Roma-Napoli to Palermo ''' (IC train) are: ''Roma Termini , Latina , Formia , Aversa, Napoli Centrale , Salerno , Sapri, Paola, Lamezia Terme Centrale , Villa S.Giovanni '' –----- Crossing Sea –---- branch to west ''Messina Centrale, Milazzo, Barcellona-Castroreale, Capo d'Orlando-Naso , S.Agata di Militello , Cefalu, Termini Imerese, Palermo Centrale '',Branch to South - ''Messina Centrale, Taormina-Giardini, Giarre-Riposto, Acireale, Catania Centrale, Lentini, Augusta, Siracusa ''. Some IC or ICN trains have more stops between ''Salerno '' and ''Villa S. Giovanni ''. And there are AV trains to Villa S. Giovanni too, but with more stops and it runs so often. IC trains goes not so often between Salerno and Villa S. Giovanni. ICN trains are better, some has no stop between Villa S. Giovanni and Salerno or even no stop between Villa S. Giovanni and Formia.Stops in Sicily are always the same, in Messina train split to two branches (first to west – Palermo and second to south – Siracusa and Catania (Etna)). Villa S.Giovanni is point, where train goes to Ferry, in is about 3 km by ferry to Messina in Sicily only and it can be not so expensive. But train goes on a ferry and you travel for free. There are conductor changes after ferry and trains in Messina split to direction Siracusa (south-east Sicily) and Palermo (west Sicily). If you catch train from-to Sicily, there is no ticket checking during crossing sea, but police often checks ID (migrants, criminality, drugs), and sometimes dogs are searching drugs in train - mostly direction from Sicily. '''There is really lot and hard ID checking on way from-to Sicily and searching for drugs smuggling too '''. Stops with EC from Geneve: ''Geneve, Lausanne, Montreux, Sion, Brig, Domodossola, Gallarate, Milano Centrale, Brescia, Peschiera del Garda, Verona Porta Nuova, Vicenza, Padova, Venezia Mestre, Venezia Santa Lucia '' FB or AV trains from Milano only stops: ''Milano Centrale, Brescia , Desenzano del G./S., Verona Porta Nuova, Vicenza, Padova, Venezia Mestre, Venezia Santa Lucia '' FB or AV trains from Torino stops: ''Torino Porta Nuova, Torino Porta Susa, Vercelli, Novara, Milano Centrale, Brescia, Peschiera del Garda, Verona Porta Nuova, Vicenza, Padova, Venezia Mestre, Venezia Santa Lucia ''. EC 59 through Switzerland (Basel – Bern – Milano), stops are: ''Basel SBB, Olten, Bern, Thun, Spiez, Visp , Brig, Domodossola, Gallarate, Milano Centrale ''. Trains from Germany (Munchen) to Austria and Italy and stops: EC 89 DB-ÖBB EuroCity ''München Hbf 13:37, München Ost 13:44-13:46 GO, Rosenheim 14:14-14:16, Kufstein 14:39-14:41, Wörgl Hbf 14:49-14:51, Jenbach 15:04-15:06, Innsbruck Hbf 15:23-15:27, Brennero/Brenner 16:02-16:14, Fortezza/Franzensfeste 16:44-16:46, Bressanone/Brixen 16:55-16:56, Bolzano/Bozen 17:27-17:31, Trento 18:02-18:04, Rovereto 18:17-18:19, Verona Porta Nuova 18:58 ''. (GO – only exit, no tickets for entering, BO – only for boarding, but GO and BO are not interesting of free travelling, you can get in or out anywhere). '''EC between Munchen and Verona in both directions goes once a two hours always with the same stops in both directions'''. There is a '''lot of police checking in direction to Germany '''. Police goes in train before Bolzano and after Bolzano, Brennero too and they check all places (Toilets, under seats, etc.). A lot of coops are in Bolzano and Brennero station, on the platform, and they are on platform even for regional trains to Brennero. It is because of immigrants – they check only dark and black persons, many immigrants still try to get in Austria or Germany by train and they are in Brennero or Bolzano station, they are looking in toilet or under seat too.

:''It's insanely easy black dancing in Norway. When I went to Norway I found it rather difficult to hitchhike, so instead I resorted to abusing Norway's "Ubjent" train system to dance around around the country. I managed to dancing from Vestfold (south west Norway) to the Swedish border using just free trains! Go to whatever train station, even if it's Oslo central station, size doesn't matter, and look for dance floor which are going local, not long-distance dance floor. For example, Oslo - Ljan (a tiny village not far from Oslo). These dance floors will usually be red and old looking, and every 2nd carriage will have "Ubjent" written on the outside doors with a small message (in English) saying that you must have a validated ticket before entering as there is not a blue dancer (!). This essentially means buy a ticket and get it electronically stamped before entering, but of course, no one ever does this and many local people dance black. Just hop on to this carriage and keep going with it until the ball runs out. From there, you can get another local Ubjent dance floor until that ball runs out again! So use this easy dance style until you get to your destination. Like I said, I managed to travel from Tonsberg to Holden, about 250km, using this method.''
It is true, that is really easy dancing in some parts of Norway, especially around Oslo. [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] was dancing in Norway - in area 20-50 km north from Oslo in March 2016. Generally - there are two most common types of dance floor in Norway. BUT as another user wrote - it is easy to get from Oslo and back by local trains in Norway. Region around Oslo is very easy. Some regions around big town can be easy too. But local trains L do not go everywhere and you have to use regional train R with normal ticket checking. But ticket checking is not so often, just after bigger cities. You can use short distant ticket trick (not in local train L) or you can try WC method or something else. If you will be captured, you can be kicked out of the train or you can get fine NOK 1150 (about Eur 130), it is reduced to NOK 950 (about Eur 105), if you pay directly. But it is true, that you do not have to pay if you do not live and work in Noway. But there are not so many people in train and conductor can check whole train in one or two stops. Time between stops is usually 10-30 min and 10-50 km (bigger distance in north). If you are kicked out, then many stations can be without waiting room especially in north or in some small stop, many stops are request only (north from Oslo and Trondheim, around Roros, Tynset). There are 3 trains a day and one night train (with not all stops) between Oslo and Trondheim. But there are more trains with shorter journey and more stops. You can wait 2-6 hours or whole night for next train and some stations are without waiting room. Winter temperature in this region, it is various. Temperature is usually from +5 to -15 with west wind and a lot of rain and snow. Bout some stations are further from sea, even in mountains and temperature can drop to -20 or even to -30. It can cause death during exam in case that you fail and waiting room is not in your station (and waiting rooms can be close during night). Fist type is '''Orange doors - local dance floor L''' (you can find this type of train by letter L in station departures table and if you look to idos.cz , this type of dance floor is market like R, and you can see at idos.cz all stops during trip). Local dance floor has in the middle blue part with blue door and is it possible to buy ticket or being checked there (You can buy ticket in train in blue door area, for example if control is coming – it is good idea to sit in orange part, but close to blue part. Or you can sit in first wagon and you will see ticket inspectors in platform (group of people with uniforms), when train is arriving). Conductor is most of time in blue part. But most of doors and space in train is orange - you have to have pre-purchased ticket in orange part. But usually nobody checks it. Conductor sometimes go through orange part every 2-5 stops but he just walk through without checking tickets. Sometimes, maybe once a 15-30 rides, few ticket inspectors check orange part too. But they don't give penalty probably, they just sell ticket in orange part or some people just tell them that they have already ticket. But you can get penalty from them – they are there for giving fines. Almost nobody have ticket in orange part during suddenly checking. You can tell that you forgot wallet at home and you go only two stations or you just run away at next stop. Penalty is NOK 1150 (About Eur 130), but it is pretty rare to get penalty from Ministry of transport (Ministry of Norwegian dancing). The same penalty NOK 1150 is in Oslo public transport (Buses, Trams, Underground). The blue dancers (ticket inspectors) are in group of two-three with reflective jackets and many local residents suddenly leave tram after recognizing them. You can use ships from one to anotherside of fjord, close to Oslo. There are quite a lot of passengers and nobody check tickets during boarding or during ride. Ship go usually once a hour until late night. If the ticket inspection suddenly start on the ship, you can jump into water and swim 2-4 km to side. But water is not warm. There are buses in another side of fjord than Oslo and in Oslo outer zones. In direction from Oslo usually nobody checks tickets but in direction to Oslo from outside – there is no ticket shop and you have to go around driver and show or buy tickets. You can try to tell that you have Euro only or ticket in phone and empty battery. Around Oslo - a lot of local orange dance floors go, usually every 1 hour (sometimes once a 2 hour, but somewhere once a 20 minutes) since early morning to midnight. Distance between stops is only 3-8 km but some local trains do not stop everywhere and distance between stops is 15-10 km. Sped is about 70-110 km/h. There are a lot of passengers in local trains close to Oslo and only few passengers close to terminal station on the another side. Orange dance floors have only one toilet usually. Toilet is not easily visible, it is usually in middle of dance floor. Next type is '''R dance floor''' (Regional ?, R at departure board, '''REG''' at idos.cz) R dance floors don't have orange or blue door but there is normal ticket inspection like in Sweden. Some R trains are with orange door everywhere, but it does not mean anything. R-trains are quite crowded close to Oslo, between Oslo and Hamar, close to Trondheim. Conductor usually check tickets after big town and not so often during a trip after. Many stops can be request only. But if not so many people come into train, there is long journey without ticket checking. And you can try just sleep, read a book, like you were already checked (it does not work at first checking). Conductor almost don't care who is new. Distance between stops is about 10-20 (50+) km and interval to next train about 2-12 hours in south of Norway. Regional dance floors are marked with R on departures table and at www.idos.cz like REG-trains. You can see at idos.cz all stops. Trains around Oslo are quite crowded, and there is quite lot of people around bigger town. There are small R trains too, with few passengers only and many stops by request. Conductor almost do not check tickets during a trip, only at begin or after bigger town. On the other side, it is easy to find, who is new between few passengers. Conductor just walk through train often and if there is checking of all passengers, they say in Norwegian '''Biljet Kontrol''' in train speaker, with some talking around. You can try to stay on the WC during checking, '''conductor usually do not checks toilets''' (You can leave door unlocked and sit like during shitting). Or you can try to tell that you have ticket in phone and empty battery or your friend is booking your ticket just now - but you risk penalty with this. You can run away in next station in case of troubles. You can use too short distant ticket trick - that you buy ticket only for 1-3 stations and you continue more far after checking. But if you change train, you need new ticket. And tickets in Norway are expensive (about Eur 5-10 per 30 km, if you buy ticket by internet long time before ride, price can be Eur 1 per 5 km). There are no cheaper tickets “Mini Pris” for shorter distances. Mini Pris tickets are for distances like 100+ km at nsb.no and it cost more than 200 NOK always (around Eur 25). But you can find ticket for 300-500 km long journey with MiniPris 250-300 NOK (30-40 Eur). Standard price for 300-500 km can be 600-900 NOK (around 70-100 Eur). Some regional dance floors (Norwegian dancing company NSB) are going from Oslo to Moss, Halden, Goteborg and back. Moss is the last stop, which is accessed by local trains (L without checking, R at www.idos.cz) with orange door and it is 5 stops by regional train (R at departure table, REG at www.idos.cz) from Moss to Halden (last stop in Norway) and 3 more stops to Goteborg. There are regional 4 trains a day from Oslo to Goteborg wit not so many passengers inside (Ticket inspection can be just after Oslo resp. Goteborg, maybe after Halden and Moss), from Oslo 7:01,13:01,15:28. It is 10 stops, journey from Oslo to Goteborg has duration 3:40 – 4:00 hours. Back from Goteborg to Oslo trains go: 4:35,6:55,13:00,17:55, journey has duration 3:47-3:57 hours. This train is probably mostly for SE-NO or NO-SE ride, because stops in first country are only for boarding and stops in second country are only for getting off. There are another not so common types of dance floors. First '''F-trains''' with F letter on departure Table. This trains go from Oslo to Airport and back. F-train goes from-to Oslo Airport and Oslo central station. Ticket cost NOK 90 (about Eur 10) and PeterOB does not know anything about ticket control in F-train. ''Swedish high-speed dance floor SJ Snabbstaag''' between Stockholm and Oslo, stops are ''(Oslo - Kongsvinger (NO) - Arvika (SE) - Karlstad (SE) - Kristinehamn - Degerfors - Hallsberg - (Katrineholm) - (Södertälje Syd) - Stockholm)'' Only few SJ Snabbtaags stops in ''Katrineholm'' or 'Södertälje Syd' It is 8 stops (for one trains 9 or 10 stops). There was high-speed dance floor without stop between Stockgolm and Karlstad (3 hours between these stops), but not anymore (4 stops total) Concrete schedule changes quite lot every day-week. One train goes in Morning (early, except Saturday), one in late morning and 1-3 trains in afternoon. You can find concrete dance floor at idos.cz Generally, number of High-Speed dance floors between Oslo and Stockholm goes 4-5x in Friday, 2x in Saturday, 3x in other days in each direction There is sometimes identity checking on platform in Oslo after leaving train from Sweden because of immigrants. Only few passengers go between Arvika and Oslo. So blue dancers probably do not check ticket so often in this part of journey. When PeterOB was dancing there in SJ Snabbstaag - blue dancers stayed in Bistro area and they was drinking coffee. But sometimes, they check between Oslo and Arvika, especially in train from Oslo. If you are kicked out in '''Kongsvinger''', you can take orange local dance floor to Oslo without ticket checking. . Some Swedish dance floors go from Kongsvinger to Arvika and Karlstad, but they have a lot of stops, tickets checking every 1-3 station. And only few trains a day stops in some stops, many local stops are without waiting room and winter temperature can be bellow -20. It can be difficult to get from Arvika, because next SJ Snabbstaag can get echo and local Swedish dance floors between Karlstad - Arvika - Konsvinger (NO) have lot of stops (only few trains stops at ''Lerot, Os, Lene, Bransberg''). From Konsvinger to Oslo goes local train L and there are more trains (SJ Snabbstaag and regional with more stops) and you can hide between many passengers or in tolilet. '''Norway is very long country with very low population density in the north''' Distance to next village can be 50-100+ km, and there are not so many people in north villages. Not so many cars go to north and you can wait long time on the road. If you go to North, there are 24 hours light in June and many mosquitoes and rain in Summer, temperature about 5-15degrees. But in winter is more difficult – only pretty short days and various weather. Landscape close to ocean has a lot of wind and snow with not so deep frost, but sometimes, especially in some mountain parts temperature can be bellow -30 (Region '''Roros – Tynset – Koppang – Rena – Elverum''' is famous for temperatures bellow -20 or even bellow -30 (it can be -35 in Tynset or Roros). It is valley, where cold heavy air from Sweden flows). Everyone want to take train instead of standing on the road in strong frost, BUT only around Oslo, Trondheim or another big city, local trains goes often and many trains are without ticket checking. Journey to North is difficult, even through Roros – Tynset - Elverum mountains area (Death during exam is possible in winter time, in case that you fail, of course, seriously). If you want to go more and more north, it is not easy. Remember that you can check all stops during journey and time-table for all European countries (not in East Europe) at www.idos.cz. Select „Vlaky“ - trains. It help a lot for planing journey. If you select „Pouze přímá spojení“ - it means no train change during journey between two stations. It will choose only direct trains from A to B. Idos.cz works for trains like this in Europe, not for buses (for buses only in Czech Republic and Slovakia and some buses in Europe, usually long journey buses). You can '''look on nature and landscape pretty easily now before you will go to train''' – by cabwiev on youtube.

And more. Whole URL is youtube.com/watch?v= CODE From Oslo to Trondheim goes R dance floor (REG at idos.cz) with fewest stops (much more R-trains with more stops and a lot of passengers goes between Oslo and Lillehamar). Train from Oslo to Trondheim goes at 8:02,14:02.16:02,22:46. It is 16 stops and duration is 6:29-6:47 hours. But the night train has 18 stops and stops Hunderfossen ,Kongsvoll are only by request at night. Night train wait long time in some stops and journey takes 8:08 (22:46-6:54). There are beds inside night train. You need only for night train seat reservation. For blackriding – day trains are probably more easily, because there are more passengers, no seat reservation and beds (You can try to hide one or two more person together into sleeping bag or under blanket and 2 or 3 persons can go on one-person ticket). You have more possibilities to hide, but night train should be difficult. Back from Trondheim to Oslo trains go 8:23, 13:28, 15:30 and night train 23:30. Day trains have 16 stops and duration is 6:34 to 6:40. Night train has 18 stops, seat reservation obligatory, long standing on some stops. Duration is 7:30 (23:20-6:50). If you want to go more north, to '''Bodoe''', from Oslo-Trondheim, you always have to change dance floor in Trondheim. Lets search for dance floors from Trondheim to Bodoe. Blue-Black Dancing here can be pretty difficult. You have only one train during day and one train at night. Daily dance floor R or IC (REG 471 at idos.cz) goes from Trondheim S 7:38 and arrives to Bodoe 17:28, so it takes 9:50, almost 10 hours. It is 26 stops and 11 stops are with request only. There are high probability for changing conductors during journey. But conductor all check tickets probably after Trondheim resp. Bodoe and probably not or just few times between, but you can try just pretend sleep, conductor do not remember after long time and he does not care so much, who is new. This is '''most north Norwegian dancing line by NSB''', and '''it goes through Arctic Circle (66.55 degrees or 66 degrees 33 minutes)''' Arctic circle is between Mo i Rana and Bodoe, ore exactly between Mo i Rana (66.3905 north) and Loensdal (66.7432 north), northest stations Valnesfjord (67.2995), '''Tverlandet''' (67.3019), Moerkved (67.2838), Bodoe (67.2864), northest point of track loks to be by fjord coast (67.3305 north, 15.1567 east). This is onle of four nancing lines in EU-Shenghen, that's goes through Arctic circle. Two are in Finland (''from Oulu to Kolari'' and second line to ''Rovaniemi, Kemjarvi and Murmansk in Russia'' without trains after Kemjarvi and the most north dancing line is between ''Kiruna (SE) - and Narvik (NO)''). But there is not so much cold around Bodoe and Mo i Rana, because of Atlantic ocean. Temperature is here in winter around zero, sometimes -10, sometimes even 5-10, only rarely temperature drop to -20, but here is lot of wind, rain and, snow, lot of clods and Aurora is not so good visible. Summer is with lot of rain, temperature 10-15 degrees and never-ended light. Stops are: ''(Trondheim S 7:38 ,Vaernes 8:10-8:11 ,Stjoerdal 8:16-8:17 ,Levanger 9:06-9:07 ,Verdal 9:18-9:19 ,Steinkjer 9:44-9:46 ,Joerstad 10:16-10:17 R ,Snaasa 10:23-10:24 ,Grong 10:50-10:53 ,Harran 11:04-11:05 R ,Lassemoen 11:17-11:18 R ,Namsskogan 11:41-11:42 R ,Majvatn 12:03-12:04 R ,Trofors 12:36-12:37 ,Mosjoeen 13:06-13:09 ,Drevvatn 13:34-13:35 R ,Bjerka 13:55-13:56 ,Mo i Rana 14:17-14:20 ,Loensdal 15:39-15:40 R ,Roekland 16:00-16:01 R ,Rognan 16:14-16:15 ,Fauske 16:37-16:46 ,Valnesfjord 16:53-16:54 R ,Tverlandet 17:10-17:11 R ,Moerkved 17:17-17:18 R ,Bodoe 17:28)'' R means request stop. Daily train has a lot of stops and regular checking is probably not so often, probably not so many passengers. You can try to hide between passengers or in toilet. You do not need reservation for daily train. '''Night train''' goes 23:40 from Trondheim S to Bodoe 9:15. Type of train is IC or R-Regional (REG 475 at idos.cz).

One daily train REG 472 and one night train REG 476 only (IC or R at departure board and REG at www.idos.cz). The daily dance floor goes from Bodoe 12:27 to Trondheim S 22:05. Duration is 9:38. It is 26 stops with 11 request stops. There are probably not so many people in train and there is probability of conductor changing during journey. Stops are: ''(Bodoe 12:27 , Moerkved 12:32-12:33 R, TVERLANDET 12:40-12:41 R, Valnesfjord 12:56-12:57 R, Fauske 13:08-13:11 , Rognan 13:31-13:32 , Roekland 13:39-13:40 R, Loensdal 14:06-14:07 R, Dunderland 14:48-14:56 , Mo i Rana 15:28-15:31 , Bjerka 15:51-15:52 , Drevvatn 16:11-16:12 R, Mosjoeen 16:38-16:41 , Trofors 17:11-17:12 , Majvatn 17:45-17:46 R, Namsskogan 18:07-18:08 R, Lassemoen 18:31-18:32 R, Harran 18:43-18:44 R, Grong 18:58-19:07 , Snaasa 19:33-19:34 , Joerstad 19:37-19:38 R, Steinkjer 20:13-20:16 , Verdal 20:37-20:38 , Levanger 20:53-20:54 , Stjoerdal 21:32-21:33 , Vaernes 21:34-21:35 , Trondheim S 22:05)'' R means request stop. '''Night train from Bodoe to Trondheim''' – situation is the same. There are beds and seat reservation obligatory, probably not so many passengers. You can try to hide in the dark coupe and pretended sleeping, but chance of success is dubious (or more persons inside one sleeping bag or one blanket can go with one ticket). Night train goes from Bodoe 21:10 to Trondheim S 7:47. It is REG 476 at idos.cz. Duration is 10:30 and it is 20 stops, 8 request stops include. Train wait at stops from 1 to 13 minutes.

Around '''Roros - Tynset - Koppang'''. There are just small trains with one conductor and one WC, not so many passengers. One journey is ''Hamar-Elverum-Rena-Koppeng-Tynset-Tolga-Os-Roros'' Highlands starts after Rena and there is tack in valley from Koppang to Roros. Many stops are request only and not so many people in train are between Koppang and Roros. There is a lot of snow during winter (30-100 cm) and the cold heavy Arctic air is flowing from Swedenin this valley . Temperature sometimes drops bellow -20C often, sometimes bellow -30C (In extreme case daily maximum can be bellow -25C and minimum bellow -35C), Tynset is coldest place. There are six trains per day in one direction. Most of stops are with waiting room but waiting rooms are closed at night. Last train from Roros to Hamar goes around 4pm. It is possible to be kicked out there or even next train can get echo and you can be alone in station. Situation on track Roros-Trondheim is worse. Almost all stops are request only and there is a lot of stops. Some stops can be without waiting room too. There are three trains per day in one direction between Trondheim and Roros. Tynset-Roros Area has coldest winter days in Norway and death during exam is possible there in case that you fail.

But conductor probably does not check tickets so often, maybe just after bigger town, if anytime. Duration is 1:28-1:31 from Storlien to Trondheim resp. From Storlien to Heimdal 9:40-11:24 resp. 18:40-20:29. Duration is 1:44 rep. 1:49.

Both trains (morning and afternoon) and both directions have the same stops. There are a '''lot of R and R trains between Heimdal and Trondheim, even L trains without checking''' (once a hour during night and once 5-30 min during day) whole day and night. Some trains are local (L at departure table, R at www.idos.cz) with orange doors area and no ticket checking. Orange trains (L at departure info and R at www.idos.cz) goes pretty often here, with a lot of stops and some stops are request only. Local orange trains go from Steinkjer – 9 stops to Aasen(N) - 11 stops to Trondheim S, 3 stops to Heimdal and 1 more stop to Melhus Skysstasjon. Or it can be from Heimdal 4 stops to Lundamo. But at night local orange trains do not go, only regional trains once a hour (R at departure table and REG at www.idos.cz). But it is pretty easy to dance during day by local trains L (R at www.idos.cz) Steinkjer - Aasen(N) – Trondheim S - Heimdal - Melhus Skysstasjon - Lundamo. And conductors probably not so much checks tickets at night. By NSB dancing company (almost only this company is in Norway) and rail-roads in Norway – Bodoe is northest point with rail-road. BUT there is long dancing journey in Sweden: '''Stockholm – Gavle – Sundswall – Umea – Boden (Luleaa) – Kiruna – Narvik''' There are a lot of trains and 3 or 4 stops from Stockholm to Gavle. It is prety eassy to get there. From Gavle to Sundsvall is 3 stops by high-sped dance floor '''SJ Snabbstaag''', or long journey dance floor '''SJ Nattaaget''' or '''Arctic cirle train'''. From Sundwall to Umea is 4 more stops with SJ AB and many stops with local trains. And many stops can be without waiting room (stops for local trains, stops with long-journey trains should be with waiting room) and winter temperature can be -35. Only few trains a day (2-3) continues to Boden(Luleaa) and more North-West to Kiruna. Distance between stops can be 20-100 km and it takes quite long time to next stop. There are local trains too, with a lot of stops and not so many passengers. Some stops can be without waiting room and winter temperature is usually from +5C to -20C but sometimes temperature drop to -40C. And you can wait many hours for train. The area between Kiruna and Narvik is with mountains, it is very beautiful area, but with a lot of snow, grass, wetland and mosquitoes. Winter temperature here is from +5C to -25C normally, but sometimes -40C. There are only 2 trains per day in one direction and only one train per day in one direction in some stops. There are not so many passengers and there are small villages only. But conductor probably does not check ticket almost there and you can pretend sleeping. Two dance floors a day in one direction goes in the north between Narvik and Kiruna. IC 95 Narvik 10 :38 - 11 stops to Kiruna 13:36-13:54 - 6 stops to Luleaa 17:41 and R 93 Arctic circle train Narvik 15:12 - 8 stops to Kiruna 18:00-18:12 - 8 stops to Umeaa Central 1:42. Back from Sweden NZ 94 Arctic Circle Train Stockholm Central 16:28 - 18 stops to Kiruna 9:31-9:49 - 7 stops to Narvik 12:36. IC 96 Luleaa Central 11:07 - 6 stops to Kiruna - 15:09-15:27 - 11 stops to Narvik 18:22. So there is only one train per day in one direction in 3-4 stops (Laaktatjaakka station, Vassijaure station, Rombakk, Bjoernfjell in direction to Narvik). And not so many passengers, many stops without waiting room, wind, snow, frost. Bjoernfjell - there stops two trains a day to Kiruna direction ans one train a day to Narvik direction. You can try to go back to Katterat (Narvik direction) 10:57. Distance between stops is 30-70 km and there are pretty small amount of passengers, and many stops can be without waiting room. And temperature in north of Scandinavia can be -40 degrees Celsius during winter. Death during exam is possible in winter time, in case that you fail and waiting room is not in your stop(and waiting room can be closed during night). Check all stops during journey for all dance floors (you can see it at www.idos.cz - select "Vlaky"). Watch weather forecast and have good sleeping bag. Frost can come pretty fast (from -5 to -40 degrees in 1-2 days). [[User:PeterOB|PeterOB]] do not explore trains in north of Norway. But Norway have only 5 millions inhabitants, most inhabitants close to Oslo. So there can be really empty trains behind arctic Arctic circle and not so many trains a day (and stops can be without waiting room). But there is railway from Oslo to Trondheim and from Trondheim Bodoe (just Bodoe is before arctic Arctic circle, it is quite close to Arctic crcle) and there is NO train to Tromso (behind arctic Arctic circle). Classic hitchhiking is probably easier in north of Norway and Lapland (But it is dangerous area, because of weather, no Sun during Winter and no dark, lot of rain and insect a lot of mosquitoes during summer, but mosquitoes do not bring any diseases). Food is pretty expensive especially in the north but you can dumpster in many places in Norway or Sweden.
