In regards to bikes on the local train between Aalborg and Hjørring, Hirtshals, Frederikshavn and Skagen, you do have to reserve a spot for the bike during rush hour. It's usually from 0730 to 0900 in the morning and 1430 to 1700 in the afternoon/evening. Otherwise you just bring your bike on the Hjørring-Hirtshals stretch or include it with your ticket or Rejsekort check-in. The terminal walkway for Color Line used to be a stop a long time ago, when the train stopped beside the red building at the end. The red building was the train station back in the day, until it was bought by the company housed in it now. I would recommend getting off at Lilleheden station and walk under the road along the bike path, past Skaga Hotel and following that road to Smyril Line and Fjord Line, if the weather is alright and you want to save some money.
Neat stuff. Nordjyske Jernbaner is interesting. It was originally a merger of the companies for the 2 branch lines in the area, the Hjørring-Hirtshals line and the Frederikshavn-Skagen line. Both of these are what we in Denmark call "Private railways", though this more so means not owned by the state and rather by local counties/regions instead. These lines were typically poorer more local railways, but they're often better regarded by locals than the state railways. Logistically the private railways were treated more like bus lines with more request stops, simpler stations, and integrated fares with buses. But in the mid 2010's a bold political decission was made to hand over the regional train traffic in the Northern Jutland region away from DSB and over to Nordjyske Jernbaner by direct award. So ever since 2016 Nordjyske has run all regional trains in this part of the country, which locals really like. The arrangement has given them cheaper, more reliable, and more direct trains since passengers from the private railways previously had to change trains to DSB's services when meeting the mainline. Because of the success with NJ, similar things have happened in other parts of the country with stately railway lines being awarded to the regionally owned branch line operators, like Lokaltog taking over the line from Roskilde to Køge via direct award, or Midtjyske Jernbaner taking over the Holstebro-Skjern line by winning a tender.
Nice! I combined the Eemshaven-Kristiansand, Kristiansand-Hirtshals and Hirtshals-Tórshavn ferries on a trip to the Faroes last year. Needless to say, I am excited to see what you will show us of MS Norröna. Upon return to Hirtshals I took a shuttle bus to the railway station (didn't need to pay anything, and I was the only passenger), then the NJ train as far as Aalborg. That day it departed from platform 0. That was a first!
It's always a good laugh to hear people go "but I don't know if I pronounced that right" when they've literally just read it off text as if it was a word in their own language. Americans are typically guilty of this, but Hjitskhals and Fraydrickshaaven just got me laughing.
Most people don't have 4K, in general 2,7K is fine. However you don't need to worry because all video's recorded from now on will be 4K (still have a lot of content already edited so it might take a while before all newly posted video's will be in 4K).

Love it! No trains in Iceland.ha ha ha 😍
No trains in Iceland indeed unfortunately. However the long distance bus system is pretty interesting.
Looking forward to the ferry!
Yes, that video will be published on February the 16th.

Actually, the bus in Hirtshals, is by law required to accept cash.
