Openings and reopenings
Openings in 2021
- Teckomatorp - Åstorp reopened for regular passenger services 12 December 2021.
- A short branch of the SL Tvärbana tramway to Bromma Airport, line 31, should have opened 13 December 2020, but the tramway causes interference with the (outdated) radio system of the airport when temperatures are below +4 Deg C. However, this section opened 16 May 2021. The contact wire has on the critical section been replaced by a rail in the air which can be electrically heated.
- On 1 April 2021 passenger services resumed between Boden and Haparanda, now routed via the new electrified line from Kalix to Haparanda. Morjärv - Kalix - Haparanda has never before had regular passenger service.
Openings in 2020
- The new 5.5 km Lund tramway opened on 13 December 2020.
