Yes, great time, thanks for asking. Will post this separately when I get the chance. Only downpoints were:

Tourist tram in Stockholm was not working, their tourist season ended the last week of August.

And, St Petersberg is to get rid of all its trams and trolleybuses. A shame, as it is a vast system, although currently in a state of near collapse. Woudn't surprise me if they had received some sort of backhander from Scania to persuade them to go to the dark side.

I think that the locals associate public transport with poverty and communism. All trams and trolleybuses still have conductors, but they didn't seem to have very much to do in the two days I was there.

Also found a nice tourist guide in Wigtown which had not one but TWO illegal London Underground map rip-offs in it.
