SL's Role as the Organizer of the Traffic

The National Network Local Trains

The Local Trains
	X60 of SL The great majority of today's local train traffic is operated by the X60 EMUs owned by SL (AB Storstockholms Lokaltrafik) and operated by the one who makes the best offer for the period of 8 -12 years. The Coradia Nordic type EMUs are known for their fast acceleration, deceleration and ability to feed back the excess energy to the networks. In normal configuration two units are always run together on the North - South main line through the Stockholm main station. In the picture the X60 units are waiting at the Main station for the afternoon rush hour to restart their journeys through Stockholm. Picture by John Mckey. The X60 EMUs Page...


	X40 of SJ The state operator SJ (SJ AB) is responsible for much of the regional traffic around Stockholm. The double decked X40 units are often found with 2 + 3 unit combinations and run up to two hours long routes all directions from Stockholm. Picture by Ilkka Siissalo. The X40 EMUs Page...


	X3 of Arlanda Express Part of the Stockholm area transportation system is Arlanda Express with its X3 Precoradia EMUs. These trains dash between Stockholm Central and Arlanda international airport every 10 minutes most of the active travelling time. The Arland Express is known for its active customer services, looks like the company can sometimes even offer massage to tired air travellers at its Stockholm terminal. In the near future the EMUs will get direct competition from the SL X60s running between Uppsala and the center of Stockholm via Arlanda airport. Picture by Ilkka Siissalo. The X3 EMUs Page...
