The Network Statement 2022 describes the railway network in Sweden managed by Trafikverket during 2022. It is valid from December 12th 2021 to December 10th 2022.

Please note that the original publication of Network Statement 2023 had the incorrect information in the schedule in figure 4.1 regarding the last date for application for train paths and services for annual timetable 2023. The correct date is specified in Section 4.5.1. Figure 4.1 has been updated with the correct date from Section 4.5.1. The Swedish Transport Administration follows the same schedule for capacity allocation in the annual timetable as the other members of RailNetEurope.
