A brand new sleeper train will let passengers travel from London to Stockholm in less than 24 hours. The EuroNight service – expected to start running in September – will transport passengers between Sweden’s capital city and Hamburg in Germany. Combined with existing Eurostar services, it will cut time between Stockholm and London to roughly one day.
The train is powered by renewables energy – Swedish operator SJ only uses electricity from hydropower and wind turbines. Drivers will also use ‘freewheeling’ techniques to minimise energy use. So all-aboard – here’s everything you need to know about the brand new train route conecting Sweden with the UK.
