SJ releases Christmas train tickets October 1
Swedish railway company SJ releases Christmas train tickets on October 1 after last year's technical failures. The company claims they've prepared systems to avoid chaos. Night train tickets are already available for the holiday season.
Swedish railway operator SJ will release all daytime train tickets for Christmas travel on Wednesday. Last year's ticket release caused technical problems and website crashes. The company promises smoother operations this time. "We have made sure it won't be chaos," said Anders Edgren, SJ press communicator. Night train tickets for the Christmas period are already available. Christmas week is the busiest travel period in Sweden. Many people travel to visit family across the country. The ticket release affects thousands of travelers planning holiday journeys. SJ operates most of Sweden's intercity train services. The company faced criticism last year when their systems struggled with high demand. This year's preparations aim to prevent similar issues. Will the technical improvements handle the expected rush? Early ticket releases help spread out the purchasing pressure. Travelers can book journeys for the entire Christmas period starting October 1.
