SJ to resume direct night trains from Stockholm to Germany in December

SJ has signed a new cooperation agreement with German train operator RDC, the company writes in a press release.

The companies have collaborated on the German train service since 2022, but SJ stopped participating at the beginning of autumn, citing the end of government funding.

Starting in December, three departures a week will run between Stockholm and Hamburg. Some departures will also continue to Berlin. A service with fewer departures and longer trains makes the relaunch possible, according to SJ.

Competitor Snälltåget also runs trains to Hamburg and Berlin.
