Service
The Arlanda Express connects the city center of Stockholm, at Stockholm Central Station, to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. At the airport, the train serves two stations: Arlanda South Station, which serves terminals 2, 3 and 4, and Arlanda North station, which serves terminal 5. From Stockholm to Rosersberg, the train follows the East Coast Line, and from there to the airport, the Arlanda Line.
The train operates four times per hour, increased to five times per hour during rush hour. As of July 2011, the standard price for a one-way ticket is SEK 260, although discounts are offered for children, students, seniors, on special travel days and for return trips under certain conditions.
The Arlanda Express is operated by A-Train, a subsidiary of Macquarie Group, who also built the Arlanda Line as part of a public–private partnership. The company holds an exclusive concession to operate any train service between Stockholm and the airport. In addition, the company is free to charge other train operators that use the Arlanda Line and stop at Arlanda Central Station.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
