Stocholm to Helsingborg

Hi!
Do they take bicycles to the trains and is it easy to get them along. Or do they have to be packed?

No they don't. Bicyles on trains were scrapped 15 or so years ago. For a while you could at least send them as special luggage on your train but now they don't even do that. The biking clubs are of course furious and working hard at getting the service back and I think it's just a matter of time since tourism is being looked at more and more in Sweden. However, that doesn't help you now of course...

The only places you can get bikes on trains is down here in Skåne and in some parts of Småland as well as in Greater Stockholm. But never on the long distance trains. It has to do with the fact that so many of them are X2000 these days and those have no space for freight.

If you're desperate to get a bike down south, put it on a Swebusexpress and either go on that coach yourself or pick it up at the bus freight office.

It was JUST announced by the Cyclists Federation this week that the main Stockholm to Göteborg and Malmö lines will have the opportunity to transport bikes on some departures mainly in July. More info will follow on the www.sj.se website later it said.
