The Left Party wants to invest 250 million kronor per year to restart more night train lines to and from Norrland.

The Left Party wants to invest 250 million kronor per year to restart more night train lines to and from Norrland. "These were popular trains that people used and needed," said leader Nooshi Dadgostar at a press conference at Stockholm Central Station, as Sweden's election campaign kicks off in earnest. The Left Party points to many popular routes being discontinued, including night train service from Gothenburg to Umeå and to Jämtland, which were stopped in 2025. The Left Party also said it wants to accelerate work on the double track along the East Coast Line, from Gävle to Härnösand. "It is one of the most important routes to tie the country together," said Dadgostar. Join the conversation in our comments section below.
