East Link - with travel hub at Skavsta

The East Link is a new doubletrack railway between Järna and Linköping built by the Swedish Transport Administration. A travel hub is planned at Skavsta near the airport terminal buildning.  The picture is a vision picture of the new travel hub Skavsta. 

Easy to change between trains, planes and buses

With a travel hub at Skavsta it will be easy to change between trains, planes and buses.  The railway has therefore been placed as close to the airport's terminal building as possible to facilitate smooth changes. In connection with the construction of the railway, roads will also be redone and traffic flows in and out of the Skavsta area will change.

The location of the travel hub will be exactly where it should be, in a location that improves accessibility for people and businesses to and from the area.

What´s next?

Preparatory work is already underway in the area and at Stockholm Skavsta Airport to enable the construction of the East Link. The railway is being built in stages and the section Sjösa-Skavsta, which includes the travel hub at Skavsta, is planned to start in 2024.
