Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 13 December 2015 – 10 December 2016 (Graphical timetable TRV T16) and the public timetables (available from www.resplus.se during the validity of the graphical timetable) unless otherwise shown. It is recommended that the instructions in Sweden - General Information are followed for details on how to obtain relevant timetables. Standard abbreviations used are explained in General Information. document.

The map references - prefixed by 'ERA1' - refer to the European Railway Atlas 2008 (M.G.Ball; published by European Railway Atlas); those prefixed 'ERA2' refer to the more detailed version which has been released for the Nordics in 2013 or later.

Obscure services

Trams

See Tram services over obscure routes - Sweden

Ånge – Bräcke (Moradal) (via Ångebyn)

[20/40/41/42/44] (14B3 not shown; ERA1 5C4 not shown; ERA2 4A1) SE16/1

Available as an alternative to the north line, which is single track between Ånge station and Moradal. When trains are scheduled to cross within 6/7 minutes of Ånge, one would use this route - subject to punctual running of both trains.

No train is currently scheduled to use this route.

Stockholm Syd Flemingsberg – Järna (Järna Jn.)

[60/61/80/81/114/115] (23B1; ERA1 1A4; ERA2 9B2 or 11A1-11A2) SE16/2

Main line trains use the new (1995) Grödinge line, while local services use the former main line between these points. Trains for the Eskilstuna line also use the Grödinge line, between Stockholm and Södertälje Syd.

Mora (Morastrand) – Oxberg

(14A2; ERA1 5B3-5C3; ERA2 8C4) SE16/3

This line has no regular passenger service but in recent years a special train has run between Mora and Oxberg in conjunction with a skiing event (see www.vasaloppet.se or www.snalltaget.se) on or near the last weekend in February. In 2016 Snälltåget (Transdev) operates a train 26 February at 22.00 from Stockholm C to Oxberg. But beware - this day of all skiing events is for ladies only.

Gävle Central – Gävle Sveriges Järnvägsmuseum

(15A1 not shown; ERA1 6A2; ERA2 9B3) SE16/4

A short electrified branch provides access to the railway museum. Working involves reversal at Gävle C for trains from the south, then a shunt move to/from museum. When specials from Stockholm and Uppsala operate, normally on two weekends in the autumn, details should be available on the website www.jarnvagsmuseum.se when known. Look for headline "Årgångståget".

Järna – Norrköping (Åby)

[81] (22B2 and 23A2; ERA1 1A4 and 5C1; ERA2 9A1-9B1) SE16/5

Trains between Stockholm and Norrköping with no booked stops between Södertälje Syd and Norrköping usually run via Katrineholm. This is faster than the shorter route through Nyköping and is also double track throughout.

Grängesberg – Ställdalen (via Silverhöjden)

[53, 75] (22A1; ERA1 5C2; ERA2 9A2-9A3) SE16/6

The former TGOJ line, which parallels the normal ex-BJ line, is available as an extended passing loop. It still has CTC, but the maximum speed is reduced. It can be used to avoid delays when crossing another train, subject to punctual running of both trains. Routing may be altered for operational convenience.

D{1} MThFO 7000 Göteborg C – 10:34 Ställdalen – Borlänge C
D{2} SuX 8168 Mjölby – 14:05 Ställdalen – Gävle C
D{2} SX 8182 Mjölby – 23:01 Ställdalen – Borlänge C
D{2} 8173 Gävle C – 14:39 Grängesberg – Mjölby
D{1} SuO 7035 Falun C – 14:56 Grängesberg – Göteborg C
D{1} MThFO 7005 Falun C – 14:56 Grängesberg – Göteborg C
E{1} 7011 Mora – 17:00 Grängesberg – Göteborg C

Notes: {1}: See public timetable 75 for dates and exceptions; {2}: See public timetable 53 for dates and exceptions.

Malmö C – (Lockarp North Jn – Lockarp South Jn) – Trelleborg Train Ferry Berth

[102] (25A1; ERA1 8A3 or 41B2; ERA2 12C2) SE16/7

The only passenger trains between Lockarp North Jn and South Jn are the night trains to Berlin if there are any.

The Berlin Night Express website contains only outdate information. The Snälltåget website contains no information on 2016

Vännäs - Umeå (including north and south chords at Vännäs)

[35,40] (7B2 partly shown; ERA1 6B5; ERA2 4B3-4C3) SE16/8

The north chord is used by night trains between Boden and the south seen in public timetable 40 calling at Umeå C, and trains not calling at Vännäs in table 35. Table 35 trains calling at Vännäs use the south chord.

Vännäs – Vindeln (Vännäs north Jn)

[35] (7B2; ERA1 6B5; ERA2 4B3) SE16/9

This section of the main line allows direct running between Boden and the south. It is now only used by trains in timetable 35 calling at Vännäs.

Nyköping Södra – Oxelösund

(22B2; ERA1 5C1; ERA2 9B1) SE16/10

On one Saturday early in May each year (2016 date not yet known), Grängesbergsbanornas Järnvägsmuseum (GBBJ), now in co-operation with Föreningen Sörmlands Veteranjärnväg (FSVJ) can be expected to run a special veteran train shuttle service for a street fair at Oxelösund ("Oxelösund marknad"). Visit website www.gbbj.nu or www.fsvj.se nearer the time for details. Note: Nyköping Södra is almost opposite the bus station.

In conjunction with this, the empty stock is moved from Grängesberg museum on the Friday and returns on the Sunday, using the following freight lines: Lindesberg (Frövi north jn.) – Valskog (Jädersbruk jn.), Mellösa (Flens övre jn.) – Nyköping – Oxelösund and route SE16/6. GBBJ have been prepared to carry passengers by prior arrangement - contact the Society well in advance, using this e-mail address.

Bollnäs (Ovansjö) – Bräcke (Moradal) (via Ångebyn)

[40/41/42/44] (14B3; ERA1 5C4; ERA2 4A1) SE16/11

A freight line, which is a short-cut just west of Ånge bypassing Ånge and Ånge yard.

H{1} SuO 81 Duved – 10:52 Östersund C – Stockholm C
H{1} MO 87/10087 Duved – 11:10 Östersund C – Stockholm C
H{1} SuO 83 Duved – 14:34 Östersund C – Stockholm C
H{2} 3901 Duved – 17:40 Östersund C – Stockholm C – Malmö C
H{2} 3903 Duved – 18:20 Östersund C – Mölndal (Göteborg) – Malmö
H{2} 3900 Malmö C – 23:57 Uppsala C – Duved
H{2} 3902 Malmö C – Mölndal (Göteborg) 21:35 Skövde – Duved

Note: {1}: See public timetables 20/41/42/44 for information on operating dates and exceptions. {2}: See Snälltåget website for information on operating days.

Hallsberg – Hallsberg Yard – Skymossen jn (– Motala – Mjölby)

[53] (22A2; ERA1 5C1; ERA2 9A1) SE16/12

All passenger trains are booked to use this eastern route except the following, which is booked to use the western route via the yard:

D{1} SSuX 8166 Mjölby – 06:15 Motala – Örebro C

Note: {1}: See public timetable 53 for information on operating dates and exceptions.

Degerfors (Laxå North Jn) – Laxå / Hallsberg

[70,78] (22A2; ERA1 5B1; ERA2 8C1) SE16/13

Trains listed in public timetable 70 use the north to east Laxå avoiding line. Trains listed in public timetable 78 use the north to west spur and call at Laxå station.

Malmö Area

[107,108] (25A2 not shown; ERA1 8A3 or 41B3; ERA2 12C2 or 13B2-13C2) SE16/14

Clarification of track usage in the Malmö Area:

  • Malmö C – Ystad trains operate Malmö C – Hyllie – Svågertorp – Lockarp West Jn – Lockarp East Jn – Ystad, except trains (one train in each direction FSX) listed in table 107 not to call between Malmö C and Oxie. These trains are routed Lockarp East Jn – Lockarp North Jn – Malmö C to facilitate single line working between Malmö C and Hyllie for scheduled maintenance.
D{1} FSX 1578 Simrishamn – 23:05 Oxie – Helsingborg C
FSX 1579 Helsingborg C – 23:44 Malmö C – Ystad
  • Malmö C – Trelleborg trains Malmö C – Fosieby – Lockarp North Jn – Lockarp South Jn – Trelleborg (see SE15/7 above - if there are any trains at all).
  • København H – Ystad trains (Swedish timetable 103) operate Lernacken – Svågertorp – Lockarp West Jn – Lockarp East Jn – Ystad. No other scheduled passenger trains use Lernacken – Svågertorp. This leaves Svågertorp (Lockarp West) – Fosieby (Lockarp North) without passenger traffic until the "Malmö circle” starts, when some trains currently terminating at Hyllie would continue via this curve and restore more regular passenger service to the line via Östervärn to/from the terminal section of Malmö C. The date is not yet confirmed, as at least one new station close to the Rosengård area is to be built. However if you would see a SJ X2000 bound for København H arrive at the terminal section of Malmö C in reverse order, it will most likely be routed via Fosieby – Svågertorp, to have the planned order when arriving in Denmark.
  • Lockarp West Jn – Lockarp South Jn is now used for commuter trains to and from Trelleborg.

Uddevalla – Öxnered avoiding line – Trollhättan – Göteborg C

[130] (21A2 not shown; ERA1 5A1; ERA2 12B5) SE15/16 Trains using the Öxnered avoiding line, Uddevalla - Öxnered West Jn - Öxnered South Jn - Trollhättan - Göteborg C. Trains in public timetable 130 shown without any intermediate calls between Uddevalla and Göteborg are using this chord and instead calling at Trollhättan and Älvängen.

Mariefred - Mariefreds Ångbåtsstation (Östra Södermanlands Järnväg)

(22B2, ERA1 1A5 not shown, ERA2 9B2 not shown) SE16/16

This is a short extension of the 600mm gauge tourist line from the main station in Mariefred to the jetty used by the steamship from Stockholm. On certain days one train continues to and starts from Mariefreds Ångbåtsstation.

D P8 Läggesta nedre – 13:20 Mariefred - Mariefreds Ångbåtsstation
D P11 13:40 Mariefreds Ångbåtsstation - Läggesta nedre

See www.oslj.nu for dates of operation. Note that the train does not run to Mariefreds Ångbåtsstation every day that the steamship operates.

[Malmö C –]Arlöv - Lomma - Kävlinge[– Helsingborg C]

[108] (25A1-25A2; ERA1 8A3 or 41B2; ERA2 12C2 or 13C3) SE16/17

The route(Malmö C-)Arlöv - Lomma - Kävlinge (-Helsingborg C) has again scheduled passenger services. See 108 for trains Malmö - Helsingborg and v v not calling at Lund (two trains southbound in the morning, northbound in the afternoon).

[Malmö C –]Mölndal - Olskroken[– Duved]
