Changes

'''Dancing from Goteborg to north – Karlstad- Kristinehamn''' is not so easy. Direct trains go from Goteborg 6:15 7:15 13:15 15:15 16:25 and 17:15. Some trains continues to Kristinehamn or even to '''Falun or Gavle''' – but this trains have pretty much stops and bad connection, not so many passengers.. You can go one station by X2 (SJ Snagstaab) to '''to Skövde''' and '''from Skövde to Karlstad''' (11:10 And 17:44), but from Nassjo to Karlstad only 2 trains a day go (Nässjö , Jönköping, Skövde, Mariestad, Kristinehamn, Karlstad ). Mut many stops can be withouth without waiting room and interval to next train is prettyu long.

'''Local dance floor Värmlandstrafik goes between Kristinehamn, Karlstad, Arvika, Charlottenberg, Konsvinger (NO).''' The distance between stops is only 5-10 km and many stops are withouth without waiting room. Number of passenger is at begin quite big but conductor gooes goes every stops anh and check new passengers. Thains Trains have usually 2-3 wagons an 1-2 WCsWC. You can try to be hidden in WC or between passengers which were already checked. If you will be captured, you will be asked for buy ticket. If you are kicked out to good stations, next train goes in one hour but some stations (like Lene and Brunsberg) are dangerous – no train after 18 o clock and interval to next train 2-4 hours or whole night. There is no waiting house and winter can be cruel.

There are a lot of trains '''between Karlstad and KristinehamKristinehamn'''n. Best is fast dance floor X2 – SJ Snagstaab – it is one stop only. Or it is 3 stops by Värmlandstrafik and this dance floor goes at least every hour.

There are another dance floor ( - '''Bergslagstag) (Goteborg-Karlstad-Kristinehamn-Grängesberg-Falun) ''' with stops 5-15 km away and not so many passengers after Kristinehamn. It is 8 stops from Goteborg to Karlstad, only one stop from Kristinehamn Station and 5 stops more to Grängesberg, next stops are Ludvika, Borlange, Falun. Most dangerous is situation between Kristinehamn and Grängesberg. There are probably all 5 stations without waiting room and only two trains a day (Goteborg 6:15 Karlstad 8:36 Kristinehamn 9:00 Hällefors 10:10 Grängesberg 10:51 and Falun 12:14), Or (Goteborg 14:10 Karlstad 16:35 Kristinehamn 9:00 Hällefors 17:59 Grängesberg 18:40 and Falun 19:55), way back (Falun 6:18, Grängesberg 7:29, Hällefors 8:08, Kristinehamn 9:07-9:22, No Karlstad, DEGERFORS 9:36-10:05 and Goteborg 12:25) and (Falun 13:48, Grängesberg 14:56, Hällefors 15:40, Kristinehamn 16:37-16:42, Karlstad 17:10-17:13, Goteborg 19:45) . It is pretty much stops. Between Grängesberg and Falun is not danger – there is waiting room in every stop and every 2 hours goes another dance floor. Between Kristinehamn and Goteborg is not so danger situation – trains go usally every hour. But the journey through 6 stops ('''(Grängesberg, Bredsjö, Hällefors, Grythyttan, Nykroppa, Storfors, Kristinehamn)''' is really danger. There is no waiting room in stops (only big stops with a lot of trains - Grängesberg, Kristinehamn, stops between no. This train has only 2-3 carriages, one WC only and few passengers only, conductor goes every 1-2 stops. There are only two trains a day (morning and afternoon) and only stations Hällefvwilages Hällefors and Storfosvare close to road. Wilages in forest and only 0-2 passengers go for train. You can wait there many hours and temperature in this area can be -20 or even -25 or -30. Death during exam is possible here.

Similar situation is with local dance floor '''Tag i Bergslagen ''' - Svenska Tagkompaniet AB '''Karlstad – Hallsberg – Frovi – Fargesta – Gavle''', it goes once a day from Karlstad 5:49, 3 more stops to Kristinehamn 6:12, DEGERFORS 6:27, Hallsberg 6:59, Örebro 7:21, Frövi 7:35, 10 more stations to Gävle Central 9:55 through Fagersta , Avesta, Fors, Storvik. And only 3 trains a day goes from Fagersta to Gavle (From Fargesta 6:00, 8:16, 18:07), and three trains a day from Gavle to Fagersta. If you are kicked out between this stations (7 more stations between Gavle and Fargesta), there are only this three trains a day and no waiting room in stops. There is no so many people in this area and road can be far away with only few cars. From Gavle to Fagersta trains go at 4:30, 8:26, 16:28, 18:56 . First three trains continues to Hallsberg or more, last train goes only to Fagersta. This trains have only few passengers, 1-2 carriages and one WC only.

Better situation is by dance floor from '''Mjolby to - Hallsberg - Orebro - Borlange - Falun - Gavle ''' by R-type train Tag i '''Tag i Bergslagen Svenska''' Tagkompaniet AB. Trains go '''from Mjolby ''' 10:06, 12:06, 14:06,16:06 – not so many, and it is long journey with 19 stops and journey duration 5:25. From '''from Gavle ''' trains go: 6:19, 8:21, 10:20, 12:20,14:21,16:21. Distance between stops is 8-25 km, conductor goes every 1-2 station and he did not checks WC. WC is free most of time – here is 10-40 passengers in train, 2-3 wagons and 1-2 WCs, 1-2 conductors. Coductor check only new passengers. Most of stations have waiting room, but some not like Storaa, Koppaberg. You can try to hide in WC every checking or just hide between passengers which was already checked. If you are captured, you can buy ticket for short distance or you have to go out in next stop. But the difficultness is that last train goes quite early and interval to next train is 2 hours or whole night – 12 hours. Temperature during winter can be -20 or even -28 and some stations are without waiting room or waiting room is closed during night. Some stations like Stora are out of main road.

There are only small towns and villages '''in area Borlange, Falun, Gavle, Malung, Torsby, Filipsstadt, Avesta'''. Roads are usually with not so many cars (roads close to towns are good). And there are not so many dance floors in this area (last goes quite early, not so many passengers, not waiting room and long time to next train. Biggest towns are Borlange and Falun. Line Malun, Borlange, Falun Gavle is last area with relative good train connection. There are railroad '''from Borlange to Mora ''' (7-8 stops, about 75 min, every 2 hours from 6:40 to 22:13, through Ratwik), distance between stops are about 10-15 km, terminal station Morastrand or Mora, there is R-type dance floor - companyTag company '''Tag i Bergslagen ''' Svenska Tagkompaniet AB dance floor. But twice a day '''IC from Stockholm to Mora ''' goes (through Avesta, Borlange, Rattvik) (Stockholm 9:45 or 17:45, 7 stops to (Borlange – arrival 12:13 or 20:05), 7 stops to (Mora arrival 13:34 or 21:26). It is dance company SJ Snagstaab but there is not high speed and distance between stops is 10-15 km only – same as regional train. '''Back journey: ''' Mora 14:32 Borlange 15:52-15:57, Stockholm 18:16 or morning train Mora 6:27 Borlange 7:49-7:52 Stockholm 10:16.

There is rail-road triangle '''Storvik-Ockelbo-Gavle''', only from Gavle to Ockelbo trains go. X-Target or X-trafik AB dance floor, only one station between Gavle and Ockelbbo, train continues to Ljusdal 8 stops. Better is SJ Ab dance floor with 5 stations '''from Gavle to Ljusdal ''' (3 stations between Stockholm – Gavle). Interval to next train is 1-2 hours and last train after 21:00. Distance between stops is about 15-20 km. '''Journey to north ''' is possible by X2 SJ Snagstaab dance floor from Gavle to Sundsvall only 3 stops and next 6 stops to Umeaa (more north in Baltic coast). Or By X-target/X-Trafik dance floor from Gavle to Sundsvall 6 or 7 stops. But this area is with low population density and there is not so many passengers in this area and many stations for local dance floor X-target can be without waiting room. And temperature can be bellow -30. '''From Sundswall to Umea ''' PeterOB recommends to use X2 dance floor SJ Snagstaab - it is 6 stops ant id goes only twice a day from Sundswall (19:55) and night dance floor from Sundwal 3:13. During day (5:51 to 19:12) dance floors regional (Company Norrtag) goes once a two hours and it is 12 stops. Distance between stops is about 15-20 km. There are not so many passengers in train and some stops are without waiting room. Dance floor '''Arctic Circle Train ''' - SJ AB - goes from Stockholm (15:59) 3 stops to Gavle 19:19, 3 stops to Sundswall 21:36 and 4 stops to Umeaa 1:08. Distance between stops can be 70-100 km. It is better, because this train have not so many stops. From Balic coast (Sundswall) is one rail road to Ostersund.
