[edit] A few substantive edits
- I have made a few edits to this page, including the one giving a higher nominal voltage for the Blue line (made before I had a Wikipedia account), and a few today providing some additional details about the C20 rolling stock and about the lower maximum speed on the Green line (70 km/h instead of 80). These edits are based on knowledge I acquired about the system while I was living in Stockholm and was qualified as a train operator on the Green and Blue lines. --Tkynerd 17:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 16
What does the lack of a 16 in the line numbers mean?? Georgia guy 14:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- It doesn't mean anything in particular. The line numbers have historical origins, mostly. For example, 13 and 14 are used on the Red line because tram lines with those numbers used to serve the southwest suburbs, where the Red line goes now, and in fact portions of those tram lines were rebuilt for subway service. There's also no 15 because the route formerly served by tram line 15 is not served by a subway line (it's now served by bus line 515). And so on. The former tram line 16 also went to the southwestern suburbs, as did line 17, but when they were selecting line numbers for the subway system, they apparently just went with 13 and 14 for the Red line. --Tkynerd 13:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Per Johansson
Since Per Johansson is known as a unionist and organizer on the Stockholm metro (and not for anything else), and since the page about him has additional information on the Stockholm metro of a more political nature that is not appropriate here, I have restored the link to Per Johansson on this page (under "See also"). Objections should be discussed here before the link is removed again, so that consensus can be reached. --Tkynerd 13:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- He is not very well known in Sweden, possibly not even in Stockholm. Neng5 15:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- The appropriate course of action, in that case, is to tag Per Johansson for removal, presumably for not meeting WP:Notability. (FYI, I will fight that with citations from Swedish media.) If the article is then removed, the link can be removed from Stockholm Metro. Until then, it should stay, because what you've just argued is not a reason for removing the link from here. --Tkynerd 04:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
