Thoughts prompted by looking out of the train window

Coming back on the train after a day out in Lund. The standard fare for the return journey was a bit less that a similar length journey in the UK after all the rebates and my railcard discount.

The train is nice and comfortable, with plenty of space and you can see out of the windows.

Out of the windows you can see things like wind generators and lots of freight trains, and not just trains for shipping containers and oil.

Something is different here.
