Since its inception in 2005 the objective has been to develop a concept proposal for a new, attractive high- speed train adapted to Nordic conditions that is flexible for several different tasks on the railway and interoperable in the Scandinavian countries. The concept proposal can act as a bank of ideas, recommendations and technical solutions for railway companies, track managers and the manufacturing industry. It is an open source, which means that it is accessible to all conceivable stakeholders. The research programme has already attracted the interest of the industry both in Sweden and other countries during the years we have been working on it. We do not, however, have a finished train to show, but the results of the programme are presented primarily in two final reports that are based on a large number of research reports. Final report A, which is this one, deals with the travel market, traffic, economy and the bases of the Gröna Tåget train concept. The report gives a background to the environment for which the train concept is intended and focuses on how the users, the travellers and the train operators can derive the greatest possible benefits. Final Report B 1 deals with the recommendations that the Gröna Tåget concept proposal constitutes on a more technical level. This part also briefly describes the context and the lines where the train is intended to operate. Finally, the author would like in particular to thank Tohmmy Bustad at the Swedish Transport Administration for his support throughout the research programme, and Evert Andersson, programme coordinator at KTH, for his excellent cooperation. I would also like to wish all participants good luck in their future activities with all the knowledge generated in Gröna Tåget.

  • In the Landscape and Between Worlds
    In the Landscape and Between Worlds ronze age settlements and burials in the Swedish provinces around Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren yield few Bbronze objects and fewer of the era’s fine stone battle axes. Instead, these things were found by people working on wetland reclamation and stream dredging for about a century up to the Second World War. Then the finds stopped because of changed agricultural practices. The objects themselves have received much study. Not so with the sites where they were deposited. This book reports on a wide- ranging landscape-archaeological survey of Bronze Age deposition sites, with the aim to seek general rules in the placement of sites. How did a person choose the appropriate site to deposit a socketed axe in 800 bc? The author has investigated known sites on foot and from his desk, using a wide range of archive materials, maps and shoreline displacement data that have only recently come on-line. Over 140 sites are identified closely enough to allow characterisation of their Bronze Age landscape contexts. Numerous recurring traits emerge, forming a basic predictive or heuristic model. Bronze Age deposi- tion sites, the author argues, are a site category that could profitably be placed on contract archaeology’s agenda during infrastructure projects. Archaeology should seek these sites, not wait for others to report on finding them. martin rundkvist is an archaeologist who received his doctorate from Stockholm University in 2003. He has published research into all the major periods of Sweden’s post-glacial past. Rundkvist teaches prehistory at Umeå University, edits the journal Fornvännen and keeps the internationally popular Aardvarchaeology blog.

    1 Upcoming projects Infrastructure Construction Division About Bane NOR Bane NOR is a state-owned company respon- sible for the national railway infrastructure. Our mission is to ensure accessible railway infra- structure and efficient and user-friendly ser- vices, including the development of hubs and goods terminals. The company’s main responsible are: • Planning, development, administration, operation and maintenance of the national railway network • Traffic management • Administration and development of railway property Bane NOR has approximately 4,500 employees and the head office is based in Oslo, Norway.

The InterCity rollout as described in this folder consists of several projects. These investments create great value for all travelers. In the coming years, departures will be more frequent, with reduced travel time within the InterCity operating area. We are living in an exciting and changing infrastructure environment, with a high activity level. Over the next three years Bane NOR plans to introduce contracts relating to a large number of mega projects to the market. Investment will continue until the InterCity rollout is completed as planned in 2034.
