  • Bedre Kapasitet Og Satsing På Godstrafikken I Nordland
    Oppdatert etter fastsettelse av handlingsprogrammet juli 2018. Jernbanesektorens handlingsprogram 2018–2029: Bedre kapasitet og satsing på godstrafikken i Nordland Det er særlig kapasiteten for godstrafikken som skal forbedres i planperioden fram mot 2029. Både på Ofotbanen og Nordlandsbanen er tiltak på bane og terminaler prioritert. For togpassasjerene skal konkurranseutsettingen bidra til nytenking og større kundeorientering. Samtidig utredes nye jernbaneforbindelser i nord. Ofotbanen og Nordlandsbanen er helt sentrale i vareforsyningen nordover og i eksport sørover. Hvert døgn ruller fem lange kombitog nordover og etterspørselen er stor. For å møte denne etterspørselen og legge til rette for at mer av godstrafikken kan overføres fra veg til bane skal kapasiteten økes. Økt kapasitet for godstrafikk på Ofotbanen Ofotbanen har de siste årene fått en betydelig økt kapasitet, noe som har resultert at det nå går hele tre tog mellom Oslo og Narvik hvert døgn. Sist ferdige anlegg er det nye Djupvik kryssingsspor som åpnet høsten 2017. Togene inneholder dagligvarer og forbruksartikler nordover og fersk fisk sørover. Sjømatnæringa i Nord-Norge er i vekst og vil ventelig øke enda mer framover. I 2019 legges det opp til å begynne utvidelsen av Narvikterminalen på Fagernes. Så sent som i 2013 var forrige gang den ble utvidet. Nå er det planlagt med en ny lastegate og flere spor slik at det blir mulig å håndtere et fjerde kombitog hvert døgn. Sammen med utbygging av Narvik stasjon og ny Narvik omformer innen 2022 vil det gi økt kapasitet og mer rasjonell godshåndtering på kombi- og malmterminalen på Ofotbanen. Narvik er logistikk-knutepunkt for hele Nord-Norge nord for Salten.
