Svealandsbanan

Svealandsbanan is the Swedish name of the Svealand Railway, which runs between Södertälje and Valskog (near Arboga) via Mariefred Läggesta, Strängnäs and Eskilstuna.

It replaced an older railway from 1895 with a different more curvy route.

The railway has three double-track sections: between Nykvarn and Läggesta; between Strängnäs and Härad, completed in June 2018;[2] and between Eskilstuna and Folkesta, an intermodal terminal in Eskilstuna Municipality.

[3] The passenger trains usually run between Stockholm and Arboga, but goes as far as Örebro in rush hour.

The number of passengers have greatly exceeded expectations and is often used as an example of what a modern railway can accomplish.
