Constellation
Baltic Cruise - August 2007
 
Page 2: 6th August: Helsingborg, Sweden


All images link to larger copies


This page is one of a series showing a Baltic cruise on Celebrity Constellation in 2007 (renamed from Constellation from earlier in the year.
 
The fantastic weather continued as we anchored off Helsingborg. After tendering ashore we took the Scandlines ferry to Helsingør in Denmark, to visit Hamlet's castle Elsinore. I then took a short trip on the local train to Hornbaek. Next Page...

Lokalbanen - Hornbækbanen
(ex-Helsingør-Hornbæk-Gilleleje Banen  &  Gribskovbanen)

  • The nominally independent local lines of North Sjælland are now marketed under the Lokalbanen banner. The Helsingør-Hornbæk-Gilleleje Banen (HHGB) is now the Lokalbanen - Hornbækbanen and trains run through onto the original Gribskovbanen from Gilleleje to Hillerød. At Helsingør, the HHGB used to stop in the street outside Helsingør station, but has now been extended to run alongside a platform in the station proper. The trains still run between the road and quayside for a few hundred metres. The 'Lynette' Y-Tog DMU sets which have run the services on these lines for the last 40 years have been displaced by 27 Alstom LINT 2-car DMUs (covering all lines, not just the Hornbækbanen. The HHGB Y-Togs consisted of Uerdingen single unit Ym-53 and twin sets Ym51/Ym91, Ym52/Ym92 and Ym54/Ys94 built 1970-73, plus Düwag/Skandia twin-sets Ym55/Ys95 and Ym56/Ys96 built in 1983/84. The two Düwag sets were undergoing maintenance at the shed at Helsingør-Grønnehave on my visit.

    The new LINT sets run every 30 minutes between 06:00 and 19:00 Mon-Fri and hourly at other times. None of the towns the route passes through are particularly large and there are many bigger places in the UK where the service and smart air-conditioned trains would be envied. Trains take about 45 minutes between Helsingør and Gilleleje, plus a further 30 onto Hillerød. I travelled just to Hornbæk (30mins), an attractive small town, but presumably the largest on the route since it is now known as the Hornbækbanen.

    Lokalbanen - Lille Nord
    (ex-Helsingør-Hillerød Banen)
     
    The Helsingør-Hillerød Banen (HHB) was previously operated by DSB from the station at Helsingør. DSB had seven Düwag/Skandia twin-sets built in 1984. These 'Lynettes' were classed as ML/MS by DSB. Now part of the Lokalbanen network as Lokalbanen-Lille Nord, they also use Alstom LINT 2-car DMUs.
