ROSLAGSBANAN EXTENTION TO STOCKHOLM CITY CENTER AGENDA • What is Roslagsbanan? • Problems in Stockholm - Sverigeförhandlingen • Engineering the extension • Future outlook WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? • Commuter small-gauge Rail system • Max-speed 80km/h • Stockholms Östra common terminus 3 branches, total about 70 km lines • Network built in the 1880s • Several single track sections Source: OpenStreetmap WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? Arlanda • Commuter small-gauge Rail system Vallentuna • Max-speed 80km/h Österskär • Stockholms Östra common terminus Täby 3 branches, total about 70 km lines • Network built in the 1880s • Several single track sections Source: OpenStreetmap Source: wikipedia.org WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? • ~50 000 passengers daily • Trains every 10 minutes during rush hour on average on each line • Major investment program for increased reliability, speed and departures Source: wikipedia.org WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? • ~50 000 passengers daily • Trains every 10 minutes during rush hour on average on each line • Major investment program for increased reliability, speed and departures • Connects in Stockholm to the Tunnelbana at Stockholms Östra Source: wikipedia.org WHAT IS THE ROSLAGSBANAN? • ~50 000 passengers daily • Trains every 10 minutes during rush hour on average on each line • Major investment program for increased reliability • Connects in Stockholm to the Tunnelbana at Stockholms Östra Source: sl.se PROBLEMS IN STOCKHOLM • Congested tunnelbana system • Acute need for new housing • One of the most dynamic regions in the Nordic Countries => How to ensure growth for Stockholm in the future? PROBLEMS IN STOCKHOLM - SVERIGEFÖRHANDLINGEN Sverigeförhandlingen • Major investment in new transportation systems by the government • In return, obligation to enable house building close to the new transportation systems by the municipalities • Ramboll project: Analysis of 12 different projects around Stockholm for rail traffic ENGINEERING THE EXTENSION ENGINEERING THE EXTENSION - CHALLENGES Kårsta Ekskogen • Very small area possible to construct Frösunda Österskär Lindholmen Tunagård underground track and stations Molnby Åkersberga Ormsta Åkers Runö Vallentuna Täljö Bällsta Rydbo Kragstalund Arninge • Handling of passengers inside the stations Täby kyrkby Hägernäs Visinge Viggbyholm Näsbypark Ensta Galoppfältet Näsbyallè Tibble Täby Centrum Lahäll Roslags Näsby Roslags Näsby Altorp • Timetable building for all trains turning aroundEnebyberg Enebyberg Östberga Djursholms Ekeby Djursholms Ekeby Vendevägen Djursholms Ösby Djursholms Ösby Djursholms Ösby Mörby Mörby Universitetet Universitetet Odenplan Odenplan T-Centralen T-Centralen EXTENSION OF THE ROSLAGSBANAN - SOLUTIONS • New tunnel, length 4,9 km • Three new underground station platforms • 24 trains/h • Better connectivity to other transport modes • Up to 12 minutes faster travel compared a change to Tunnelbana FUTURE OUTLOOK • Project cost: 7.1B kronor • Project start: 2026 • Täby: +16200 residences (+55%) • Vallentuna: +5600 residences (+45 %) • Österåker: +7000 residences (+40%) => Major changes for a whole region ROSLAGSBANAN FIT FOR THE FUTURE KIITOS!
