This could be Europe's WORST First Class train. I'm taking the SJ InterCity from Gävle to Stockholm, riding on the modern SJ X40 train from Alstom. Join me as I review this double-decker disappointment on a short journey on the trains in Sweden, and find out if this is really a suitable InterCity unit for train travel between the country's major cities.
