Travel by Train:

Going by train to and within Scandinavia is a wonderful experience. The speed, security and low cost makes it an ideal mode of travel. The ecological impact is next to none, and the maintainance cost is very slight. There are three main railway trunk lines into Scandinavia, one overland, one under the sea and one over a bridge.

Eastern Line:

The Province of Finland share border with Russia, and the Eastern line cross the border from the Helsinki-St Petersburg link. From Helsinki, the railnetwork spread out through most of Finland, and via oversea bridges to the Province of Sweden.

Southern Line:

The Province of Sweden, via a bridge over to Jutland and further down to Germany, is linked with the continent by fastmoving monorail trains. Since the Danish isles and Jutland are considered wilderness, a zone of control is patrolled by special combat engineers. By passing the Free City of Örestad by a bridge over the narrowest part of Öresund, the line links up Helsingborg and Hamburg. From there, the railnetwork spread over Sweden, and links up with the Eastern line at Norrtälje and the Western line at Strömstad.

Western Line:

The Province of Norway is a mountain filled countryside, with less than perfect roads. The railway is very important, and links up the interior and coastal areas of the Province via a series of tunnels and even ferries. Linking up with Lapland and the northern line, and the souther line at Strömstad, it completes the circle of the railway network of Scandinavia.

Northern Line:

The northern areas of Scandinavia are important for strategic and resource managment reasons. Therefore the northern line has more of cargo than personnle trains. Linking up with the Eastern line at Haparanda, the Western line at Arjeplog, and the southern line at Sundsvall, the system is most effective.

Train classes & Costs:

Second Class, or Budget class is mostly preferred by private citizens,out on a vacation. This makes up the mainstay of the passengers on any train. Even in this class is the seats comfortable, the food excellent, and the service of high quality. Most common class of interior lines.

First Class is what businessmen likes to use. It offers a distinct status increase compared with budget class. Even better seats, on-trip simsense for each passenger, first class food, and first lass service with free drinks and a pampered atmosphere greets those that chose to pay a few extra crowns for the service.

Royal Class is a very special accomodation, not usually used on the trains. This is the superior level of train, with a bed, a workplace and a dining table all for each passenger that can afford the luxury. A personal assistant of the preferred gender is available for the whole trip. A full menu to choose from, and at a small extra fee, living music from our on-staff railway artists.
