Double tracks between Hallsberg and Degerön

Never before have so many people and such a high volume of goods been transported by rail. There is not enough capacity on the Swedish railway and an expansion of the railway network is needed. More capacity will make the train smoother for travelers and businesses.

Purpose of the expansion

• increased capacity for freight trains as well as the potential for increasing passenger traffic
• good punctuality for both freight and passenger trains
• improved security along the route

More trains will be able to use the track and journey times will be reduced. Currently freight trains are being redirected along other routes due to a lack of capacity. There is a considerable risk of disruption on stretches of single track. The Frövi−Hallsberg, Degerön−Mjölby and Mjölby–Motala routes have already been expanded to double track.

Financing

In the 2022–2033 National Transportation System Plan, the whole route is financed.
