Skåne commuter rail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skåne commuter rail or Pågatågen is the local commuter rail system in Skåne County, Sweden. Every train set gets its name from a Scanian man, since Påg means boy in Scanian dialect. However, one set was named after the female writer Victoria Benedictsson's pseudonym, Ernst Ahlgren.
[edit] Lines
There are six lines in the Skåne commuter rail (Pågatågen) system, from Malmö to Lund, Helsingborg/Ängelholm, Helsingborg (via Teckomatorp), Höör and Simrishamn, and from Helsingborg to Åstorp.
The Oresund Trains that cross the Oresund to/from Copenhagen serve as regional trains in Skåne County on the three routes to Kristianstad, Kalmar, and Gothenburg respectively.
The east-west Skånebanan railway line from Kristianstad to Helsingborg, via Hässleholm, also is of regional rail character. It is served by SJ trains but local fares are applied.
