Track works in Stockholm June 22 – August 16

There are track works south of Stockholm Central during the summer, and as a result Snälltåget trains only go to Södertälje hamn station.

Between Södertälje hamn and Stockholm Cityterminalen you can either travel with Snälltåget's bus replacement service (ticket required) or with SL (Storstockholms Lokaltrafik) commuter trains between Södertälje hamn and Stockholm City. If you already have an SL ticket or plan on buying an SL card for your stay in Stockholm, we recommend you travel with SL commuter train.

You can find the gate number for the bus departures inside Cityterminalen. If you travel together, please sit together on the bus.
