Sign up to our paid partner, BetterHelp, today and get a 10% discount on your first month of therapy: https://betterhelp.com/omtherails The X2000 is the backbone of "high speed" rail services in Sweden and has been so for almost 40 years. These iconic trains are in the middle of getting a brand new look as they undergo an extensive refurbishment, and I was lucky enough to ride one during my time in Sweden as they are currently few in number. Join me as we take a look at this iconic high speed train including its rather inspiring story for other networks around the world. Enjoy!
