From Trondheim to Sweden
The Meråker line (Meråkerbanen in Norwegian) is Mid-Norway’s fastest way to our neighbor’s in Sweden. This route is a co-operation between Norway and Sweden and is known as “the neighbor train”. The tracks connect Trondheim to the Swedish ski destination favorite Åre, the region centre of Östersund and the Swedish railway network.
The whole route is 70,69 km long and opened in 1881. There has been a noticeable increase on the amount of passengers in the last few years.
Departures with SJ NORD
There are two daily departures each way between Trondheim and Storlien.
The electrification of the Meråker railway
Bane NOR is working on electrifying both the Trønder railway and the Meråker railway. This means that from August 15th 2024 until February 1st 2025 the Meråker railway will be closed. No trains wil depart during this time and a bus replacement will drive all passengers.
The day this process is completed will be a highlight for traffic between Norway and Sweden, as it will give a more smoother journey towards the Swedish railway, which has been driven electrically for many decades.
