Bye bye bluebirds

The Copenhagen trainscene has for the past year been focused on something new, or more correctly, something old. After 20 years with the main focus on the old red, flat S-trains, many writers turned elsewhere when they got replaced by the new spaceships. The new playground became the old long distance trains that for decades had travelled the countryside in the usual red colour. But DSB decided to give them new make up in form of blue foil and use them them for one last mission before replacing them too with new models.
