How do you track your train in Sweden?
Trafikverket's real-time train page, what it shows and its limits.
Short answer
You can follow trains in Sweden in real time on Trafikverket's train information page by searching a station or a train number, for trains running today. The page shows delays, cancellations and track changes, and has a map view. For trains on a later day, Trafikverket says to contact the operator.
Why
- Trafikverket says you search for your own station or train number, and a station search shows all departing and arriving trains and their times.
- According to Trafikverket, the page shows trains in real time for the current day only, so it cannot show the status of trains on future days.
- Trafikverket says you can click a train number to see its progress and the stations it has passed, use a map button, and see deviations such as track changes, delays and cancelled trains.
Details
For commuter trains, Trafikverket recommends searching by station rather than by train number. If you want to know about a cancellation on a later day, contact the operator you travel with. Trafikverket also explains that when a signal fails, it shows red, which means trains may not pass. Stations are listed under train and subway stations in Stockholm, and ticket and operator basics are in trains in Sweden (SJ).
Tip
Check the page shortly before you leave home, because it shows only the current day. For booking and tickets, see how to buy SJ tickets.
What may differ
The page covers the current day only, and searching by train number works less well for commuter trains than searching by station.
Common misconception
If a signal fails, trains can simply drive on.
What actually happens
Trafikverket says a signal failure is shown as a red light, which means trains may not pass.
