    Public Transport in Stockholm

    Noting that I can't get the SL version of our Travel Planner to work, to give the basic clues about routes/modes to take between specific points; "Integrated Transport, eh?" Can anyone help with plans for me travelling there next Sunday/Monday. Specifically; Is there a "human face" to SL at...
