Sweden - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services

Introduction

To find current traffic information, check your trip on a journey planner e.g. www.resrobot.se - see General Information: Journey planner. www.sj.se/enis easier to use, but does not contain MTRX and Snälltåget.

Warning: The sj.se journey planner is used a number of times below. SJ is in the process of replacing the JP/ticketing system. In the first, now opened, step all functions (e.g. Filtering) are not available. This page will be not updated until Filtering is available again, since the instructions may have to be updated. For more information (e.g. dates) see General Information: Ticketing.

The non-electrified DMU-operated lines have more replacement bus operation than the electrified lines. Check your departure station at Trafikverket before departure to ensure it is a train and not a bus. Stockholm C (Central) is the default. Type other stations at the very top of the page.

This list is based on the timetable dated 10 December 2023 – 14 December 2024 (Graphical timetable TRV T24) See available journey planners (above or under General Information) Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 1) by M.G. Ball.

Obscure services

Numbered from the North to the South. On approximate the same latitude where possible also from West to East.

Vännäs area

[Old:35,40] (ERA-E 6B5; ERA-R 4B3-4C3) SE24/1

Only Vy night trains between Stockholm and Boden and beyond use the direct East to North chord (Vännäs avoiding line). All trains calling at Vännäs use the South to East and those en route to and from the north also the South to North chord (the latter is the initial main line).

[Stockholm C –] Bräcke – Vännäs – Umeå C / Vindeln [– Boden – Luleå/Narvik]

[Old:40](ERA-E 5C5, 6AB5; ERA-R 4BC3,4AB2,4A1) SE24/2

If there is major infrastructure work between Gävle C and Umeå C, the night trains may be rerouted to use the old (now freight only) route between Bräcke and Vännäs.

Whether ay train re-routed this route will use the newer direct line or the original alignment through Nyåker is decided by the CTC operator during the actual night.

The now best way is to do a test using the www.sj.se/en journey planner Vy Luleå/Narvik and SJ Umeå trains are visible here.
1. Click Search Journey.
2. Type Stockholm C in the from box and Vännäs in the to box and select your desired date.
3. Click Search Journey again
4. Click Filter.
5. Tick Only non-stop journeys
6. Scroll down and click Done.
If you are able to see SJ and Vy trains with prices, they are bookable. You can easily click to select any of the close dates.

Vy night trains do not normally call at Vännäs, they are routed to use the East to North chord at Vännäs (Vännäs avoiding line).
SJ night trains terminate at Umeå C, and are routed via Sundsvall C - Örnsköldsvik C and do not normally reach Vännäs.
No planned infrastructure work, which necessitates the use of this line for passenger services, is currently known.

Gävle Central – Gävle Järnvägsmuseet

(ERA-E 6A2, not shown; ERA-R 9B3, not shown) SE24/7

A short electrified branch provides access to the railway museum. Working involves reversal at Gävle C (or use of the Gävle C avoiding line, see also SE 24/6) for trains from the south, then a shunt move to/from the museum. When specials from Stockholm and Uppsala operate, normally on one or two weekends in the autumn, details should be available on the Museum website when known. Look for headline "Årgångståget". The date for reopening of the museum is currently not known, but work is now progressing and a summer 2024 re-opening is now shown at the Museum website.

[Old:60/61/80/81/114/115] (ERA-E 1A4 OR 6A1; ERA-R 9B2 or 11A1-11A2) SE24/15

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.

Järna – Norrköping (Åby)

[Old:80/81] (ERA-E 1A4 or 5A1 and 5C1; ERA-R 9A1-9B1) SE24/16

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.

Nyköping Södra/Jönåker/Stigtomta/Vrena – Oxelösund

(ERA-E 5C1; ERA-R 9B1) SE24/17

On one Saturday early in May each normal year. Provisional date for 2023 was 13 May, but the special trains were cancelled. Trafikverket could not provide timetables early enough for the societies to make all arrangements. Date for 2024 is not known at time of writing in the beginning of January.

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 the www.gbbj.nu or www.fsvj.se websites, or Visit Oxelösund nearer the time for details. Note: Nyköping Södra is almost opposite the bus station.

In conjunction with this, some empty stock is usually 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 the larger part of, but not the full route SE24/8. GBBJ have been prepared to carry passengers by prior arrangement - contact the Society well in advance, using the address: gbbj@gbbj.nu

Uddevalla – Öxnered avoiding line – Trollhättan [ – Göteborg C]

[Old:130] (ERA-E 5A1; ERA-R 12B5) SE24/19

Trains using the Öxnered avoiding line, Uddevalla - Öxnered West Jn - Öxnered South Jn - Trollhättan - Göteborg C. Trains in Västtrafik Timetable shown as calling at Trollhättan and Gamlestaden are using this chord. Timetable for later parts of the year will be included when known. If trains start from and terminate at Gamlestaden instead of Göteborg you are recommended to use other public transport (tram) between these stops. There is much infrastructure work ongoing in Göteborg. Uddevalla - Stenungsund is closed for infrastructure (tunnel and catenary) work until 2025. All trains direct between Uddevalla and Göteborg are routed via this chord until then.

This chord is also used by the SJ Stockholm - Strömstad summer only train, at least until the Vänersborg railway bridge is opened early 2025 after comprehensive repaires. See also SE 24/20 immediately below.

[Old:60,130](ERA-E 8A5; ERA-R 13C3) SE24/20 The summer-only train pair Stockholm - Strömstad can't use Herrljunga - Vänersborg - Uddevalla because of bridge replacement at Vänersborg, and not Göteborg - Stenungsund - Uddevalla because of tunnel and catenary refurbishment, both until different dates in 2025. Instead freight-only tracks east of Göteborg C are used.

[Malmö C –] Mölndal – Olskroken [– Mora]

[Old:20](ERA-E 8A5; ERA-R 13C1) SE24/21

The Göteborg C avoiding line is closed for infrastructure work, construction of Västlänken(a dual-track tunnel enabling trains from Helsingborg - Varberg and Borås lines to access a new sub-surface four-track station under the existing Göteborg C station and continue towards Trollhättan or Alingsås without reversing. Snälltåget (Transdev) operates winter sport (Vasaloppet) specials which cannot use this spur, and are in spring 2024 routed via Göteborg C station, where the train calls and the locomotive runs round. When Snälltåget trains Stockholm C - Malmö C have been rerouted via Göteborg C (during infrastructure work on the normal route), it has also happened that the train has been routed to Göteborg Kville yard, and reversed into Göteborg C (no run-round necessary). The link Olskroken - Mölndal is expected to be reinstated late 2024, the new planned date for the sub surface sstation is 2026 and for the entire West Link is now 2030.
