Öresundståg are not safe trains
Öresundståg are not safe trains: Many trains, if not everyone, has at least one defect door that is out of function. And many trains between some destinations are full, totally crowded. Who's responsibility is this area? We could discuss and discuss but I guess that all involved parts simply accuse each other.
As a passenger on daily basis I have all rights to claim that the trains (Öresundståg) going between Sweden and Denmark are not safe. Luckily there have not been any serious accidents yet so my theory can not be proved but if we look from the safety point of view and if we see all clear facts then we can understand the point.
Many trains, if not everyone, has at least one defect door that is out of function. And many trains between some destinations are full, totally crowded. It also can happen that trains passing over the bridge between Sweden and Denmark have open doors which is absolutely note safe.
What would happen if a train gets fire and some doors are defect at the same time as there are more than 500 people? Just picture it! The train is full and people can not leave it via closest doors because they are defect.
Probably even normal doors would be difficult to manage but defect doors sounds really dangerous. That is why I want to claim that those Öresundståg trains are not safe. More about those trains you can see at:

The image is found at www.sydsvenskan.se A Öresundståg train was passing over the bridge between Sweden and Denmark with open doors.
Who's responsibility is this area? It could simply be Danish DSB Øresund or Transdev or even Swedish Skånetrafiken. We could discuss and discuss but I guess that all involved parts simply accuse each other.
However, it is clear that something is wrong because everyone just close their eyes and do not care about the thousands of people using those unsafe trains.
