SL X60 - X61

X61

Skånetrafiken, the regional public transport organisation in Scania, (Sweden), operate 49 X61 trainsets, delivered 2009-2011, and ordered an additional 20 trainsets in 2011. The X61 is based on the X60, but with four cars per set instead of six and a total length of 75 m (246 ft), and are operated both as single trainsets and as longer trains made up of two connected four-car trainsets. The interior of the X61 is better suited for the often longer distances covered by regional trains, with toilets (which the SL X60 commuter trains do not have) and more comfortable seats. Östgötatrafiken (the public transport organisation in Östergötland) has placed an order for 5 trains of type X61, delivered in 2010. Norrtåg (train ownership company for the public transport organisations in Västerbotten, Västernorrland and neighbour counties) has ordered eleven trains of this type for usage in these counties, e.g. on Botniabanan, to be delivered 2011. They are called X62 and contain a bistro because of longer travel times.
