Carlolof Mossberg has been running the Ticket Shop at the railway station in Karlstad for four years, and for many years the Ticket Shop in Kristinehamn.

- A year ago, we had as much to do, and had to bring in extra staff. Now it's completely dead. We have gone from full speed to 5-10 percent of sales.

"People haven't started traveling yet"

The reason, of course, is the corona pandemic, and the restrictions on domestic travel.

- People do not travel, and SJ has reduced the number of departures for both long-distance trains and buses.

- No, we don't notice anything yet. That's the simple answer. People haven't started traveling yet.
