"A bug in rail operator SJ's booking system caused chaos on trains between Gävle and Stockholm on Sunday. The bookings 
problem is widespread across Sweden.

Trains that normally carry 242 passengers had 450 booked for the two hour trip from Gävle to Stockholm.

The fault in SJ's booking system was discovered and repaired in June, but by that time many trains had already been 
over-booked.

A summer of chaos for passengers is forecast with over-full trains and replacement buses across Sweden, with Gävle the 
worst hit area."

I was just wondering how many of those 450 Swedish passengers tried to enter to those over-booked trains...
