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 ==
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).
Stops Trondheim-Bodoe '''REG 471''' 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, 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.
Stops are '''REG 475''': ''(Trondheim S 23:40 ,Vaernes 0:05-0:06 ,Stjoerdal 0:10-0:11 ,Levanger 0:50-0:51 ,Verdal 1:03-1:04 ,Steinkjer 1:27-1:29 ,Snaasa 2:06-2:07 R ,Grong 2:37-2:40 ,Namsskogan 3:27-3:28 R ,Trofors 4:24-4:25 ,Mosjoeen 4:54-4:58 ,Bjerka 5:42-5:43 R ,Mo i Rana 6:05-6:08 ,Loensdal 7:26-7:27 R ,Roekland 7:47-7:48 R ,Rognan 8:01-8:02 ,Fauske 8:25-8:30 ,Valnesfjord 8:37-8:38 R ,Tverlandet 8:56-8:57 R ,Moerkved 9:03-9:04 R ,Bodoe 9:15)''
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).

Position of stations by openstreetmaps.org: Oulu (65.0114, 25.4842), Kemi (65.7368, 24.5745), Tervola (66.0816, 24.7721), Muurola (66.3707, 25.3753), Rovaniemi (66.4980, 25.7053), Misi (66.6179, 26.6865), Kemijärvi (66.7243, 27.4035).
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.

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 1210-17, 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 difficultby Silja Line. You There are many security guys by the entrance gate and going by exit on the ship is almost impossible. It can try to go through exit waybe possible in moment, but it when passengers are getting out. Sneeking on Viking line is difficult, or possible. There are many passengers boarding and you can try to sneek inside gate 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 really not more easyto 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 floorin 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, but 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. You have at spring 2017, and you had to wait stay outside until 3:15am15 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 gratesgates 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 Karjaa (Karis)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).
'''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 PetterOB 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.
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.iffi 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.
'''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:'''
'''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''' (counple 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 around 69,9 .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. '''Road No. 92 continue in Finmark'''-Norway far from Ocean to Masi in Finmark Bridge through Tana River between FI and from Masi to Alta in Norwegian coast. In Alta E6 and road No. 92 connect again. From Karasjohka road E6 continue in Norway in northwest direction to Olderfjord (70,5 degrees north) and from Olderfjord E6 goes West-South to Alta. From Ustjoki continue NO-FI border by river to East and road E6 (together with E75) Custom is in Norwegian side to '''northest point in Finland – Nuorgam''' in Finland and '''Hillagura''' in Norway. It is around 70,09 degrees north. There are just few houses or cabins in Finish side and small road onlyUtsjoki. There is in Filnand foure6 Karasjohka -star hotel Nuorgamin Lomakeskus (Eur 100 per night, ehm). This hotel can be good for dumpster diving. From Nuorgam – Hillagura E6 continue in Norway to villages by fjord Skippagurra and Varangerbotn. Varangerbotn is last crossroad. E6 continues from Varangerbotn to southTana Bru -east, to '''Hesseng''' and '''Kirkenes''' (one of fearthest town in Norway, close to Russiam, there is airport in Kirkenes). Hesseng is crossroad close to Kirkenes. From Hesseng E6 goes to Kirkenes and E105 to Elvenes and Norway-Russia border (it is around 3 km from Hesseng). After Elvenes is crossroad just around 150 m before Russian border, close to lake. E105 goes to Russia (Visa needed) and small road No. 886 goes to east and north by lakes to most east point in Norway (69.734 north, 30.890 south). But in this area – the road is just couple of tenths of meters by Russian border. Sastle and cliff (69.79 north, 30.79 east), border and ocean (). Road No. 886 continues by small lake and by Russian border to '''Grense Jakobselv''' and '''Oskar II's Kapell''' castle. It is something, where border RU-NO and Ocean meet (69.878 north and 30,822 East) There are just few houses, if any and a lot of military watch close to border. Probably road No. 886 is mostly for military. From Varangerbotn E75 continue to East, to '''Vadsoe''', '''Kiberg''', Svartnest by north coast of fjord and finally to '''Vardoe''' (70,37 north, 31,105 south). The road E75 goes from Inari by river to '''Ustjoki''', where is another river by NO-FI border and Varangebotn in Norwegian side E6 to East to Kirkenes and to West-South by NO-FI border to vilage Karasjohka, where is crossroad with road No. 92 (970 from E75 and Kaamanen village in finland Ustjoki to Masi in Finmark Nuorgam and Alta Varangebotn in Norwegian coast)Finland. From '''Karasjohka''' road E6 continue north-west to '''Olderfjord''' Nourgam (70,5 degrees north) and from Olderfjord southwest to Alta. Olderfjord is north crossroad and village. E6 continue to Alta or another direction to Karasjohka and by NO-FI border to Ustjoki (crossroad with E75 to Inari081). But from '''Olderfjord''' to north continues E69 to north by coast of Atlantic to Repvaeg, Kaefjord and from Kaefjord around 2 km long tunnel to '''Mageroeya island'''. There is village '''Honningsvaeg''' and more most north skarsvaeg. E69 continue on this island to '''Nordkapp''' (71.1717 north, 25.8763 East by Google map), which should be nordest point of Norway and Europe. But on the map it looks like nordes point is myse around 3 km west-west north – Knivskjellodden (71.18547 north, 25.67638 East by Google map). '''Oulu – Kemi – Tornio – Kolari – SAMI LAND - Kilpisjarvi (Mallan Iounnonpuitso, SE-NO-FI point) – Tromso, Finmark''' O'''ulu – Kemi – Tornio (SE-FI border and Lulea) – Kolari – Kittila – Muonio – Hetta – Karesuvanto – Kilpisjarvi (Mallan Iounnonpuitso, SE-NO-FI point), Skybotn (Lyngen Fjord) – Alta – Tromso – Narvik – Nordkapp.''' There is '''big road around baltic sea from Oulu to Kemi, Tornio Itäinen (SE-FI border) and Lulea in Sweden'''. It is one station and 58 minutes between Oulu abd Kemi. But after Kemi usually all trains goes to Rovaniemi. Trains to Tornio Itäinen and more north to Ylitornio, Pello and Kolari are extremely rare. But there is road E4 from Oulu to Sweden. It is probably not so easy to find good place in Oulu, hitchiking from Kemi is better. Direction is to Tornio Itäinen, where is cropproad. E4 goes to Haparanda (first village in Sweden) and Tore (crossroad – E4 to Finland, E10 to north-west Kiruna, Narvik, and E10 to Lulea). Lulea is first train station in Sweden.Trains from Lulea goes to close town Boden, which is on long dancing line (Stockholm – Gavle – Hudiksvall – Sundsvall – Umea – Boden – Kiruna – Narvik). E10 and E4 together continue to south by baltic coast to Umea. But we want to go '''from Kemi to North, by FI-SE border'''. So you take E4 only to Tornio Itäinen, and there is '''road E8 to Ylitornio, Pello and Kolari''', the same line like train. In pello – road goes little bit away from FI-SE border. If you cath the train (it is not so easy), it does not matter, where you will be kicked out, it is always by road E8. There are many small towns and villages by SE-FI border until Kolari. First crossroad is in Pello already. Road E8 goes from Tornio to Kolari, SE-FI-NO point and Tromso, Road no. 83 to East to Sinnetä (crossroad with road No. 79 trom Kittilä in north to Rovaniemi in south-east). There is small road no. 99 behind border in Sweden. Road No. 83 is already behind arctic circle. Road E8 continue from Pello to Kolari and it is from Pello to Kolari one train station. Ko'''lari (67,33 degrees north) is the northest Finish train station''', it is one of four dancing lines, which cross Arctic circle. Buses and cars goes from Kolari further. There should be busses, but probably not so often and it can be not so easy to sneek. In Kolari stops flat land and some small hills begins.By road E8 mountanis. There are bigger hills around Muonio. There is '''from Kolari main road E8 by SE-FI border to Norway''' and smaller road No. 80 to small town Kittilä. Road No. 80 continue from Kittilä to south-east to Sodankilä (Crossroad with E75 to Rovaniemi and Inari, E63 to Kemjäarvi in south and Road. No 80 to Kittilä). From Kittilä Road no. 79 goes south to Rovaniemi and North-West to Muonio (E8, Swedish Border, big lakes and national park is close). By main road E8 after Kolari, next bigger town and crossroad is '''Muonio''' (sround 67,95 degrees north). There are big lakes around and crossroad with road. No 79 to Kittilä. National park Pallas Yllästunturi with lakes and mountains is just around 10 km east from Muonio. From Muonio E8 by river anf FI-SE border continue to small town Palojoensuu (68.28 degrees north). There is crossroad in Palojoensuu E8 and road No. 93. Road No. 93 goes east to small town Hetta and from Hetta far north to FI-NO border (Geadgejlärvi lake) and road continue in Norway-Finmark (Siebe, Kaoutokeino, long river-lake, crossroad with roads No. 92 and 93 at 69,19 North). Road 92 goes to east-east-north to Kárášjohka (E6 by NO-FI border) and road 93 goes to exactly most north to Masi and Alta on coast – fjord. There is a lot of national parks and only few small villages around '''Palojoensuu''' and '''Hetta'''. And long lake by Hetta. There are only small towns or villages by road 93 and pretty long distance between villages. Not so many cars probably goes there. '''E8 continue from Palojoensuu by river and SE-FI border''' to crossroad and small town '''Kätkäsuvanto''' (68.44 derees north). There is in Finland national park Tarvantovaaran erämaa around 10-15 km north-east from Kätkäsuvanto with small mountains. From Kätkäsuvanto goes E'''45 through border to Sweden to Vittangi and Svappavaara''' (small town, crossroad with E10 ). '''E10 goes from Svappavaara to Kiruna''' (only around 50 km west-west-north) and to Narvik, or to south goes E10 to Gällivare. '''From Kätkäsuvanto''' E8 continue not so far to '''Markina''' with lot of small lakes in valley and more far to north-west by FI-SE border to area with bigger and bigger hills and mountains and plenty of lakes in valleys, to Kilpisjärvi. '''Kilpisjärvi (69.05 North)''' is small town in valley between mountains and close to two lakes. '''The point of three borders (Norway-Sweden_Finland)''' is around 10 about 3 km west from Kilpisjärvi. There is hotel in Kilpisjärvi – Kilpisjjärven Retkeilykeskus (Kilpisjärvi hiking center). The lake and mountains more than 1000 m high are really close. It can be possible to dumpster diving behind hotel. Town is small, but shops can be good too. There is bus station too, but buses do not go so often and eas t can be difficult to sneek. The place of SE-FI-NO border (69.05997 north,20.5485 east) - Treriksröset - meeting is by the another big lake Kolttajärvi. Mountains are joust around 500-1000 m high, but in this Arctic area mountains are already without trees and snow can be on the top quite late. There is big difference in winter between valleys and mountains. Mountains makes border between cold air from Russia and warm air from Atlantic. The difference by 600 meter high difference can be 20 degrees. In January 2016 – there was -43 in Kilpisjärvi in valley, but Nuorgam -25 on the mountain. Some specific valleys in mountains in Finmark or Finland can be with Arctic wave super cold, up to -50 degrees. '''From Kilpisjärvi E8 continue North-West to Norway, to Atlantic coast.''' The nest village in Norway is '''Helligskogen''' by another lake and road E8 continue in valley through relative high mountains. There is Helligskogen Vandrerhjem hotel, there can be dumpster diving possible. Next village-town is '''Skibotn by Skibotnutløpet fjord''', in the middle of mountains, but already on atlantic coast. Lot of mountains and lot of fjords are in this area. There is gas station is Skibotn and it is important crossroad, the rod E8 from Finland meets there with road E6. '''E6''' continue to '''south-south-west to Tromso, Bjerkvik and Narvik'''. From Skiboth E6 and E8 continues together about 15 km to another small town by fjord coast Nodrdkjostbotn. There is crossroad in '''Nodrdkjostbotn'''. E8 continues about 60 km to Tromso north-west by fjord coast and E6 continues south to Bjerkvik, Narvik and Lofoten islands (and E6-E8 goes north from Nodrdkjostbotn to Skibotn, Alta and to direction Nordkapp). '''Bjerkvik''' is important crossroad with E6 from south to north Norway with road E10 from Kiruna Tana river (Sweden to most of Lofoten Islands). From Skibotn the road '''E6 goes to north of Norway''' – to '''Alta''' (69.95 north) and there is crossroad E6 with '''road No. 93''' to East-South inside Finmark to Masi (end of big fjord-lake) and Kárášjohka close to Finish border. E6 goes from Kárášjohka by NO-FI border to Ustjoki, where is crossroad with E75 from Inari. E75 and E6 sontinues from Ustjoki by river and NO-FI border to Nuorgam (northest Finish poind) and to fjord, crossroad Varangerboth. From Varangerbotn E75 continue by north coast of Fjord to Vardoe (island) and E6 by south coast of fjord to Kirkenes. '''From Alta''' north-East and from Kárášjohka north-west E6 goes to nordest point Olderfjord (side 70,47 degrees north). There is E69 from Olderfjord to nordkapp and E6 to Alta and '''Kárášjohka''' and '''Ustjoki'''. But '''from Olderfjord''' to north continues '''E 69''' to north by coast of Atlantic to '''Repvaeg''''''Bold text'''092, Kaefjord and from '''Kaefjord is aabout2 km long tunnel to Mageroeya island'''27. There is village '''Honningsvaeg''' and more north skarsvaeg. E69 continue on this island to '''Nordkapp''' (71.1717 north, 25.8763 East by Google map)950, which should be nordest point of Norway and Europe. But on the map it looks like nordes point is myse around 3 km west-west north – Knivskjellodden (71.18547 north, 25.67638 East by Google map). '''Narvik''' is around 20 km from Bjerkvik by the coast. '''E10 goes from Kiruna to Narvik''' by the same way like rail-road with lot of stops. And this is nordest-railroad in Europe without Russia. One of nordest point E10 (68.443 north, 18.609 east) and railway (68.43405 north,18.5986 east) is close to big lakes, north-west from tornehamn and Björklidens Golfklubb in Sewden (there is hotel and maybe some good dumpsters too). The second northest possibility is E10 (68water 70.43430923, 1827.2513) and railway (68.4305, 18.2482) is close to Vassijaure station (68.4290, 18.2603). In Norway is far north station Haugfjell (68.4405, 18.0180) and nordest rail point close to this station (68.4441,18.0481) and Narvik (68.4416, 17.4414). And 9555 by fjourd and Atlantic coast, most north place of dancing line was found. Northest railway (68.4516,17.483) resp. (68.4502,17.5420) and northest E10 is on another place before coast (68.5163,17.8727). NO-SE border on the track is (68.4300, 18.1057OSM) and by E10 (68.4352, 18.1068).

''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. They 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).''
If you are kicked out, you can wait for next SJ Snabbtaag, but it is better to get out from Tranas and Almhult to better station (Alvesta resp. Mjolby-Linkoping). There is once a hour (once a 2 hour in weekend) good Oresundstaag train between 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 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 9 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 IC or 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 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 is question. '''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.
