The railway system in Sweden is trash. We have to and should have spent a lot more into maintenance and new tracks.

Interesting to hear that other countries have the same problem. Sweden wasn't one I would have thought of tho.

It's important to remember that everyone places that bar differently.

"Bad" in one country could mean the trains are 2 min late while it could mean 45 min late somewhere else.

It seems like anyone you ask will tell you how the trains there are worse than in other places. I guess there’s always a country that has it better. I don’t think there are many countries that give enough priority to trains to satisfy transit users.

Having just returned from Stockholm to the UK I have to say it was seriously impressive in comparison, atleast in Stockholm greater area I had nothing but good experiences with public transport. The cost of travelling within Stockholm unlimited for a week (£35) on busses and trains is around the price to take 1-2 trains in the UK. And they're so frequent and run for better hours. Not saying this to detract from your message tho, just interesting to see a different perspective ... it's likely theres valid case to improve funding for maintenance and lay new tracks

I have been to Sweden (Stockholm) by train from Germany and found it better than the German and Danish trains.

Sweden is a long country and it is worse up north.
