Malmoe Central

Introduction

Malmö Central Station is the railway station on the southern line of Malmö, Sweden. It was built in 1856 and receives approximately 17 million passengers a year. With the opening of the urban tunnel in 2010, the station began to connect services, connecting the south to Copenhagen via the Øresund line and then to the station north of the southern main line, saving passengers at least 15 minutes.

Platform

Stations 1-7 are located in the old station and are serviced under the lovely vaulted roof. The newer part of the station has stations 1a – 4a and 1b-4b.

Please note that station 1 is different from station 1a.

Most local/commuter trains use the Öresundståg trains in Denmark and the Snabbtag trains from Malmö to Gothenburg and Stockholm.

If you are going to Copenhagen, please note that the Swedish name of the Danish destination is used on the departure screen, so Copenhagen = Kopenhamn.

The Öresundståg train to Copenhagen/Copenhagen takes Helsingor as its final destination (if you travel to Helsingborg, please don't confuse the two).

Allow some extra time to enter stations 1a – 4a and 1b – 4b, especially if you have luggage and want to use the elevator. When you arrive at these stations by train, you don't have to use the escalator surface, and there is a lift in the rear position, which is more convenient.

If your train is leaving the platform on the lower floor, please note that they are longer stations, divided into 1a and 1b, and your train will depart especially from 1a and so on.

In addition, these stations do not have an area, so if you take the Snabbtag train from the lower level, make sure you are at 1a or 2a and wait in the middle of the platform.

In addition, the multilingual signage at Malmö Central Station is particularly well designed and can be taken care of.

Östersund (pronounced [œstɛ¹ʂɵnːd] ; Southern Sami: Staare) is an urban area (city) in Jämtland in the middle of Sweden. It is the seat of Östersund Municipality and the capital of Jämtland County. Östersund is located at the shores of Sweden's fifth largest lake, Storsjön, opposite the island Frösön, and is the only city in Jämtland. Östersund is the region's cultural and economical centre and by tradition a city of trade and commerce. Östersund had one of the most extensive garrisons in Sweden prior to its closure in the early-21st century. The city is the Mid Sweden University's largest campus site with approximately 7,000 students. With a total population of 50,960 (2017) Östersund is the 22nd most populous city in Sweden, the 46th most populous city in Scandinavia, and by far the largest inland city in Northern Sweden. The city was the only Swedish city founded and chartered in the 18th century. Östersund was founded in order to create a trade monopoly over Jämtland whose inhabitants' lucrative trade annoyed the Swedish crown. The intention was to persuade the local farmers to deliver merchandise to middlemen in Östersund, but the population opposed this economic philosophy, and Östersund long remained small. It took until the end of the 19th century for Östersund to truly become a city, after the arrival of the railroad and the economic liberalization of that time. Östersund is situated in inland Scandinavia and connected to Sundsvall in the east on the Swedish coast, and Trondheim in the west at the shores of the Norwegian sea. Östersund is located in the middle of Scandinavia, in the middle of Sweden, in the middle of Jämtland County and in the middle of Östersund Municipality. As the most centrally located city in Sweden, the city credits itself as the centre of Sweden.Östersund is marketed as Vinterstaden – Winter City. Winter City as a project is run by the Municipality together with city enterprises. Östersund has had a long history as a centre of outdoor activities with a modern cross-country ski stadium and an actual piste in the city itself. Östersund has also hosted several World Championships in various sports such as biathlon, speed skating and ski orienteering along with Swedish National Championships in cross country skiing and snocross. The city has been the applicant city of Sweden for several Winter Olympic Games, but has yet to host one. The precursor to the Winter Olympic Games, the Nordic Games, were however held at several occasions in the city, due to lack of snow in Stockholm.

Malmö (, Swedish: [²malmøː] ; Danish: Malmø [ˈmælmøːˀ]) is the largest city of the Swedish county of Skåne County, the third-largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the sixth-largest city in Scandinavia, with a population of 316,588 inhabitants out of a municipal total of 338,230 in 2018. The Malmö Metropolitan Region is home to over 700,000 people, and the Øresund Region, which includes Malmö, is home to 4 million people.Malmö was one of the earliest and most industrialized towns of Scandinavia, but it struggled with the adaptation to post-industrialism. Since the construction of the Öresund Bridge, Malmö has undergone a major transformation with architectural developments, and it has attracted new biotech and IT companies, and particularly students through Malmö University and other higher education facilities. The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial center for the western part of Scania.
