Sigtuna

Train Alliance owns over 440,000 sqm of land in Sigtuna, with rail connections both north and south. The assets generate track income, rents and management income. The area is part of the Stockholm North Railway Centre, which already is an important logistics hub for several public and private operators. Arlanda’s aviation fuel terminal, which is classified as a national interest, is also located on Train Alliance land.

The area has been zoned for railway operations since 2022. The functional study adopted in March 2024 involves a continued expansion of the railway’s capacity and function with the aim of significantly increasing the area’s freight capacity. The company is awaiting further regulatory approvals before full-scale development takes place.

Strategic work is underway with the municipality and other landowners to ensure that the area is designed as appropriately as possible, which is why Train Alliance’s land holdings may change via land swaps.

Train Alliance is conducting dialogues with the rail-linked TEN-T ports about handling significantly larger volumes of goods in the area.

SMARTCargo increases capacity

In 2024, the SMARTCargo project was launched, which aims to develop the railway infrastructure to enable a shift from road to rail transport in the Stockholm region. The aim is to solve a systemic bottleneck through investments that realise the potential of the Rosersberg intermodal terminal and its adjacent infrastructure, such as the Brista jet fuel terminal. The project will thus increase the capacity of the TEN-T corridor and thus transport via the Gothenburg hub, improve functionality and capacity on the E4 motorway in the area and around Arlanda.

The project is extensive, with a total investment volume of SEK 1.1 billion, 30 % of which is co-financed by the EU. The project is intended to deliver certain capacity and functionality, not facilities as such, and will generate usage revenue from tracks and terminals. The investments are expected to increase the area’s freight capacity tenfold, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 11 000 tonnes per year at 60 % capacity utilisation.

New railway tracks will be built mainly to extend a siding and to connect terminals. A new terminal will be built close to the aviation fuel terminal in Brista, as shown in the map, for efficient transhipment of goods between rail and road transport. The project also includes synergistic elements supporting renewable energy production and storage, as well as investments in smart digital tools to improve terminal efficiency.

The terminals will be open to all operators on a non-discriminatory basis. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2028.
