How much time should be set aside for border controls when entering Sweden by train?
In the light of many migrants arriving in Europe in late 2015, both Denmark and Sweden reintroduced identity checks at their southern borders. Recently, these checks have been extended for a further six months.
Trains are still running across the Öresund bridge. X2000 long-distance trains apparantly no longer stop in Kastrup (Copenhagen airport station) to allow for the passport controls to be done at Copenhagen central before boarding the train.
The Øresundståg regional trains are split in Kastrup according to all timetables I saw. I assume the procedure to be exit, go through the controls, reenter the next train.
bahn.de and sj.se disagree on connections that can be made. (I assume this to be a shortcoming of HAFAS.) How much time should I allocate for the passport controls?
If things get delayed, will I be able to take the next Øresundståg or is my ticket bound to the one I booked, independently from whether the original connection allocates the recommended time or not?
Assume I have allocated enough time as per recommendation but things still get delayed. If I am on a through ticket from Copenhagen H to Stockholm C with a change of trains from Øresundståg to X2000 in Malmö (or any other combination where I could miss a connection), will my ticket be changed to a later train?
