Morning from Holstebro. It's 9 o'clock. And nearly dark. And raining. 🌧️ Today will be a train day.

A battery train on a level crossing. It's raining and very grey.

Then, finally: The Danish living room on rails. One of my and probably also your favourite trains. Just absolutely fantastic. 🥰

View across the aisle. Two rows of insanely comfortable, couch-like grey seats. Green and flat landscape outside the window.

Beach after sunset at low tide. A bit of water left of the sand. Cool, pastel colours in the sky.

Ausserdem musste das umfassende lokale Schienennetz in Augenschein genommen werden.

Habemus Mini Cabin! 🥳
Finally, the new Nightjet Stock has been deployed to the Zurich-Hamburg route. This calls for a little pre-Christmas trip!

Nightjet at the platform. Through the windows, you can see passengers getting their cabin ready. A class Re 4/4 II locomotive at the front of the train at Zurich HB at night. View from a lower floor mini cabin to the aisle Nightjet logo on the carriage

A dune landscape in thick fog, the visibility is around 50-100 metres. Depending on the distance, the little dune hills have different shades of brown-grey, which looks like they are stacked in different layers.

Off we go. Again, there's nobody in my carriage, as we trundle through the empty landscapes. The diesel engine hums quietly and the heating radiates that cosy and slightly to warm heat, that you only find in old trains. Absolutely perfect! 🥰 This alone was worth the trip.
#NebulousNorth
View through the opposite window on a small lake on flat land. Pastel colours in the sky.

Oh, and Midtjyske Jernbaner: Can we please have a scarf from this moquette? 😊

Moin!
How did we do? Pretty good, surprisingly. No lights in the middle of the night, bed linen collected only upon arrival and a delay of 20 mins only. And it's sunny in Hamburg! ☀️ 🤯
But now, which train to take? I have no idea yet...

Voilà! 🥰
A photo of a "Lynette" in the sun (well, at least in faint sunlight) was definitely not on my list, when I left home on Monday.

Last one for today. Meanwhile, the light conditions became quite challenging. Hard to edit this one on the fly, will need my screen at home. But hey, another Lynette! 🥰

Of course, the connection in Tønder couldn't wait for the replacement bus. So let's have a look at the town centre instead, which turns out to be unexpectedly quaint. What a lovely discovery! 🥰

Uh-oh! I'm definitely in for a surprise today: The sun burns the fog away and look what awaits me at Lemvig station! A "Lynette" railbus from 1983! 😍
They are currently phased out, I didn't know for sure if some of them do still run. Apparently, they do. 🥰

This is why you should not underestimate what's happening here. They are actually on track! Sure, slower than planned, but steady. They stick to the plan, they don't get distracted. I find this beyond impressive. 💪🇩🇰

There's a little Christmas market in the centre, which is rather lively. I'd say about 3/4 of the people in the street speak German. And there are a few cafés, which means I'll skip another train for a Kanelsnurre. Good choice, as it was an extraordinarily good one! 😋

Christmas decorations in the pedestrianised high street with quite a few people for a Tuesday afternoon. Kanelsnurre and tea on a wooden table

Or.. does it? I might be in for a big surprise today! An absolutely wonderful bus ride in any case.

God morgen from Holstebro. A MJ "Desiro" arrives and the GoCollective service to Vejle is delayed by 24 minutes. But I don't care, my Interrail will remain inactive today as I'm going to take a bus. Most of which are electric here, BTW.

An orange and white train arriving at the small junction station of Holstebro. A bit of ground fog over the tracks. A blue VDL electric bus from Midtrafik at the bus terminal next to the station.

The EC to Copenhagen is still worked with DB IC stock. Too bad, I was hoping to try the new DSB Tango set. Well then, a little detour it is. The quirky Bombardier "Married Pair" units on the Sylt RE must be one of the most comfortable regional trains in Germany, at least in 1st class.

That was a lovely ride! And even with an early arrival in Niebüll. That means I'll be able to catch the unofficial connection to Tønder and can finally... oh, never mind. From Germany with love. 🙄
But hey, there's a replacement bus! 🚍️
