Trafikverket is accelerating plans for a new double track between Lund and Hässleholm. The tracks could open as early as 2036 instead of the official 2043 deadline.
Trafikverket is speeding up the planning and construction process. The aim is to have the tracks ready when the Fehmarn Belt tunnel opens.
Planning chief Ulrika Geeraedts says the German trains are due in 2034. She believes it will take longer due to track problems on the German side.
Geeraedts took over as head of new main lines in autumn 2022. Shortly after, the bourgeois government scrapped the entire project.
