I don’t really understand how travel days work and which trains I can take. For example if I take a night train anywhere before midnight from the country I’m departing I’m still under 1 travel day?. Also how would I know what trains to take when departing? (Cause I’m trying to start the destination from gothenburg to berlin but unaware how to actually start it) Any tips?

Travel days from gothenburg

Hello
You must search with Goteborg C. Only one travel day is needed if you stay in the same night train until Berlin. If you continue to another destination in Germany you will need a second travel day.

+2Could you link me a url or tell me how do I see the trains like you do?
You can search the timetables in Rail Planner app, in my example from Goteborg C to Berlin on January 2nd, 2025.
In the first connection, you see an earlier arrival in Berlin (08:20), but two changes. If you select it, you will see a change in Hamburg Hbf, it means that you need a second travel day.
The example in my previous post is the second connection (arrival in Berlin 09:24).
But note that the Rail Planner app is not always accurate, for Germany I would install the DB Navigator app, the overview is better.

Any way to solve this issue?. Also, if berlin needs 2 changes oven 1 change that means the route there always needs a second travel date right?. Cause the other change is past midnight
Which filters do you have activated? Direct trains? This would give no results.
If the second change is past midnight, yes that would require another travel day but that shouldn't be needed if either Snälltåget or SJ are running their service from Malmö.
Changing in Hamburg might save an hour but:
- A. The night train is almost always 1h late so you'd miss the connection.
- B. Too early wake-up rather than staying in your warm couchette!
- C. 2nd pass day needed... ;)

Is this considered one travel day?. Also, could I private message you like in the future about these things, I would want someone to look at my travel trip to make sure I got the right travel days in order
Yes it is one travel day.
I'd prefer if you post all your questions here. That way everyone benefits from the answers.

Private messages usually take longer to answer because you only write one person instead of a group.
