Saturday the first of September was the last day of operation of rail bus trains between Västervik and Hultsfred during the summer of 2012. Trafikverket has not advertised TJF's trains in 2012 and did not do so on this occasion. The association's railbus YBo5p 888 was in service and is seen here arriving at Hultsfred with the first train from Västervik. We have to get used to the fact that the surroundings have changed with the new residential area Strandlyckan, where the first houses have been built, and in the autumn there will be a new boom facility at Smalspåret, where the access road is already built.
Things have also been happening in the station building. On the same day, the new Railway Café took over and will sell KLT's products and train tickets (as the press release says). It's good to have an expanded service, so let's welcome the new tenants. They have taken over a station building that has been half empty for far too long.
