The East Link (Swedish: Ostlänken) is a planned high-speed railway in Sweden, intended to run from Södertälje (just south of Stockholm) to Linköping.
The time plan was originally to start building by 2017, with the goal of trains becoming operational in 2033-2035.
[3] In 2019, Swedish infrastructure manager Trafikverket commissioned Ramboll and Atkins to research and design the railway.
[5] Long-distance trains would call at Stockholm Central Station and Södertälje Syd before joining the new line, on which there would be an intermediate stop at Norrköping, and reach Linköping about 40 minutes faster than by the existing line.
In a little more distant future, a new railway connecting Linköping-Gothenburg via Jönköping is planned, called Götalandsbanan.
