Saga Rail AB serves to make a point

A new Swedish Company, Saga Rail AB,  will operate trains between Stockholm and Linköping via Nyköping on weekends. The company is acting on a need and as such serves as an illustrative example. Some argue that the trains on Ostlänken will pass the region and the airport by without stopping. We argue that it is vital to avoid making decisions based on a scantily basis. Today we see several train operators in Sweden yet still more exist outside our borders and new might emerge. The development in our region, and that of the Airport in particular, with calculations showing – and this is a low estimate – at least 1.5 million train passengers annually, is likely to draw attention. From a greater perspective of the system as a whole, these passengers will contribute to make the train traffic lucrative and motivate a stop.
