Record Delays for long distance – Swedish Dagbladet

This is the worst record for rail travel between cities since tågstatistik.se began measuring punctuality in 2010.

– The problem is when the traffic has increased to the extent it has in the past few years and we at the same time maintaining a worn facility. Then there will be trouble, says Stefan Björkqvist, director of traffic management for Trafikverket, the Swedish Television.

The delays between Stockholm and Gothenburg low in 2012 of 18 percent, during the first six months of this figure almost doubled to 30 percent.

According Björkqvist can not do much about the delays when several engineering works are planned to rehabilitate the railway line.
