Snälltåget’s trains that travel between Malmö and Stockholm has seats with two different comfort levels (Seat or Comfort Seat) and a pub/restaurant coach that we call Krogen. You can choose to sit in our lounge or in one of our compartments. On our night trains we offer beds, and on certain routes also seats. At the end of almost every coach, there is room for larger items and baggage and here you can also find the restrooms.
For more infomation about our coaches and seats – have a look in the coach guide.
Our restaurant coach, affectionately known as Krogen (The Pub), is located in the middle of the train. Enjoy the beautiful landscape with a cup of coffee and cake or with one of our main dishes. All main courses are served on porcelain plates. Bonne appetit!

Krogen runs in all of our departures except for Malmö-Berlin and Berlin-Malmö, where instead we recommend a visit at the restaurant and café on board the Stena Line ferry, FS Sassnitz.
WiFi or wireless internet is available for free at our day trains and some of our night trains. However, due to constant movement and bouncing of the train, as well as Swedens diverse landscape, we sometimes experience areas with limited coverage. High usage of the network can also minimize the internet’s performance. Therefore, our Wi-Fi does not support certain activities such as streaming music, video or downloading large files.
Our Krog is WiFi free as seating space is limited and we want all our customers to enjoy the food and company of others inside our restaurant instead of surfing the internet on the phone, computer or iPad.

After an hour, you have to log in again to continue using the Wi-Fi. Open a new tab in your browser to connect.
Most of our coaches have power outlets so that you can charge your telephone or your computer. The electrical outlets are located on the walls. The effect of the electrical outlet is limited which means that you can only charge your phone or computer. Use of distribution boxes and equipment that require high effect outlets are forbidden. So remember to blow dry your hair before boarding the train. A small tip to iPhone users: use the airplane mode in order for the phone to charge faster.
So that our youngest travellers can have a comfortable travel and stay with us onboard Snälltåget, we have a lavatory equipped with a changing table on most of our day trains and some of our night trains.
Travelling with a stroller? It is very important to fold the stroller before boarding the train. Our doors are approximately 60 cm wide and our space for storing strollers is limited.
Family seat
Our family seats are intended for families with small children. The seats are located close to a lavatory with a changing table and our restaurant, The Pub, is located in the adjacent coach where you can heat pre-packed baby food – ask the staff for help.
Keep in mind that a lot of families travel with a lot of luggage. Avoid large suitcases and don't bring more luggage than you can carry with ease. The stroller has to be folded before boarding the train and put in one of the luggage racks.
