The Tidö parties have announced a billion-krona investment in double tracks along the Ostkustbanan railway, according to multiple reports. The announcement was made on Friday at a press conference called by the parties. Jörgen Berglund, a Moderate Party MP, said that hard-working people and companies along the Norrland coast deserve a railway that meets the standard.
The investment comes despite a setback last autumn, according to reports. The exact amount of the investment, the timeline for construction, and which sections will be upgraded have not been disclosed. The expected impact on travel times and capacity also remains unclear.
