What's the Cass report?

Does this take into account any bridges which were rebuilt before the MML electrification was cancelled? Ie: bridges which were rebuilt then, so don't need to be rebuilt this time around

For existing electrification yes, but presumably for new electrification (eg: MML) this isn't a problem?

Presumably it's possible to connect an SFC to 275/400kV? Surely using autotransformers and SFCs would be the most efficient system? You get the benefits of 50kV transmission, but also the power factor benefits (for both the grid and the trains) and the various other things mentioned in the...

That sounds remarkably like the original plan of a two phase build of the new station. Just without the second phase...

It's a difficult question - at what age does a child become "too old" to use facilities designated to the opposite gender? Not just changing rooms - what about public toilets, such as at motorway services? I suspect every single person has a different answer to this...

Yes, you can do that, but you might be better off buying a normal train ticket for the journey rather than "wasting" an Interrail day. All depends on what you're planning to do

Thanks - I don't drink coffee (or tea), but I do like Swedish buns! That is indeed on my to do list (also useful in Switzerland, where a standard European adapter doesn't fit at all into their sockets) Thanks - good to have that confirmed

Thanks everyone for the advice - I've amended my plan to get the last daytime train from Duved, then the Stockholm-Malmö sleeper. I think this works out very very nicely, for a few reasons: I've bought it as a through ticket for a "normal" person, not using an Interrail pass, for a very...

That's useful to know, thanks.

Thanks - so I could always buy a reservation for both trains, then refund the one I don't use. Currently my plan is to arrive in Stockholm at 0504 on the sleeper from Duved - is this train often late? How likely would I be to miss the 0521? (The reason for this is because I don't particularly...

Another question, this time about reservations. Interrail reservations appear to be "refundable" as opposed to "non-rebookable", which is good. Apparently this means I can "change departure at no extra cost". Does this mean, then, that I could buy a reservation for the 0616 Stockholm-Malmö, but...

Thanks both I'll see what I can manage to fit in, thanks

Thanks - that's annoying, as I was hoping to get an earlier train from Oslo. In terms of reservations when using an Interrail pass, would I be correct in thinking that High speed and Intercity-branded trains are compulsory reservation, but regional ones are not? What is the best method of...

I will be travelling through Sweden at the end of May, starting in Oslo (yes, I know that's Norway) and finishing at Hamburg. My aim is to maximise loco haulage. Would I be correct in thinking that the following routes have haulage? Stockholm-Uppsala (most trains) Stockholm-Borlänge (most...
