Can I travel?

Snälltåget continues the follow the latest advice from government and public health officials and how the situation develops at our destinations. If the advice from the authorities changes, we will of course make changes accordingly. The Public Health Agency in Sweden advises against using public transport but that does not apply to long distance trains with a booked reservation, such as Snälltåget.

If you have a trip planned and feel cold or flu-like symptoms, stay home and avoid meeting other people than the ones you live with. That way, you avoid spreading the virus to other people on the train, at work or other places.

For those of you travelling – keep this in mind:

• You should only travel if you are healthy and symptom-free.
• If you are hesitant to travel, for your own sake or for the sake of others, don't travel.
• Keep your distance to your fellow travellers when you get off and on the train, while standing in line to the toilet.
• You are welcome to visit our restaurant "The Pub". If you want to enjoy hot food, drink beer och wine, you must book a table in advance. We also sell coffee, tea, soft drinks, water, sandwiches, salads, snacks and candy that you can bring with you to your seat.

More seats available so you can keep distance

On board the trains, we have decreased the number of seats available for booking in each coach, to increase the distance between those who travel. If you travel alone, we only sell seats by the window so that you can keep your distance to other travellers.

If you travel together, you will receive seats together and can keep your distance to other parties. If there is at least one adult in the booking, the accompanying adult, youth, student or senior receive 50% discount on the price for adults. This offer is only available on Snälltåget.se.

On our connecting bus services to and from Jönköping, Växjö and Blekinge we have limited the number of seats to about 60 percent. If there are a lot of passengers on board, we kindly ask those of you travelling together to also sit together.

On some departures we offer the possibility to book a private compartment, in which you can travel by yourself or with company. Private compartments are only available at Snälltåget.se on certain departures around the weekend and the holidays. From January 11th, private compartment is only available on our night trains to Jämtland and Berlin.
