More C30 trains in ordinary service on the blue line

The new C30 trains now run to the ordinary timetable on the blue line, where they had previously only been test-run. The first C30 ran in ordinary service on weekday evenings on 31 August 2026, and from 7 September the trains also run in rush hour and at certain weekend times – two trains in rush hour and on weekend mornings and evenings respectively. The C30 has room for more passengers, better accessibility adaptations and air conditioning. According to Region Stockholm the plan is to put more C30 trains on the blue line during 2027, once the Rissne depot is expected to reach full capacity from next summer. As the C30 cars enter service the older C20 cars are phased out on the blue line.

Slippery rails in autumn and winter can cause delays

During autumn and winter SL’s rail services are hit by slippery rails that can cause delays, and according to SL it is above all the metro and Roslagsbanan that are affected. The slipperiness comes from leaves being crushed into a paste on the rails, or from moisture on the rail – worst at temperatures between zero and five degrees. Reduced friction means longer braking distances, so drivers run more slowly for safety reasons, and metro trains may have to be cancelled or pass stations without stopping. According to traffic director Johan Nordenblank it is above all passengers on Roslagsbanan and the metro’s green line who are affected. SL and the operators clear trees and brush, flush leaves off tracks and switches, and rinse the rails with hot water at night. How long the slippery period lasts and how much it affects traffic varies from year to year with the weather and temperatures.
