Project background facts

The Västra Stambanan line between Gothenburg and Alingsås is one of the country's most stressed courses and a large volume of long-distance trains, commuter trains, regional trains and freight trains operates it daily.

The entire route between Gothenburg and Stockholm was opened for traffic in 1862 and electrified in 1926, then first as a single track. In 1958, a double track was built which was simultaneously electrified.

Some of the overhead contact line posts on the route are the original ones that remain and these are in generally poor condition. Because the overhead contact line is old and worn, the risk of disturbance is substantial.

Today’s overhead contact line was established in 1980.

Today’s auxiliary power line including transformers was established in 2003.

The railway runs through Natura 2000 and water source areas. There are 4 tunnels on the route and the railway runs through several rock cuttings.

The Swedish Transport Administration is responsible for long-term infrastructure planning for road traffic, rail traffic, shipping and air transport and for constructing and operating state-owned roads and railways. The Swedish Transport Administration employs more than 9,000 people in 150 different trades and professions. The operational volume in 2018 was close to 60 billion.

Last year a decision was made on a new Swedish National Transport Plan for 2018 – 2029. The plan includes the biggest ever initiative to equip, upgrade and modernise Swedish railways. But to cope with all the upcoming shifts, workflows and milestones, there need to be more of us in the whole railway industry.

At Nordic Rail, we will therefore highlight the skills challenge, but also present a highly interesting smorgasbord of new systems and track installations and much else. On our stand you will meet representatives of everything from electric roads to new main rail lines, from ERTMS to Shift2Rail and not least of procurement and innovation.
