The follwing rules apply for both rebookable and refundable tickets:

  • Seat and 1st Class must be cancelled at least 24 hours before departure.
  • Private Compartment and Private Compartment Comfort must be cancelled at least seven days before departure.

The booking fee (9-79 SEK per ticket) is not refunded and is not part of the travel voucher for rebookable tickets.

When a rebookable ticket is cancelled, the passenger will receive a travel voucher consisting of the ticket price excluding the booking fee, valid for purchase within 180 days.

Can I travel with a wheelchair or electric wheelchair?

When travelling with a wheelchair, the circumstances onboard are the following: Our coaches are not in level with the platform. The height difference is approximately 65 centimetres and we do not have lifts to take you to the doors of the train, so you have to be able to get there yourself. Wheelchairs need to be folded and treated as luggage. The doors are approximately 60 centimetres wide and inside the train, there are passageways that are 45 centimetres wide. The lavatories are narrow and not adjusted to wheelchairs.

Under these circumstances, you cannot travel with an electric wheelchair on our trains.

 


For wheelchair travel, the following conditions apply: Our carriages are not level with the platform, and there is no lift to the train's exterior doors, so you must be able to board independently. The height difference is approximately 65 centimeters from the platform. The train's exterior doors are about 60 cm wide, and after the vestibule, there are passages that are 45 cm wide. The train's toilets are narrow and not wheelchair-accessible, and there are no specific spaces for wheelchairs on board; they must be folded and handled as luggage.

Given these conditions, electric wheelchairs cannot be used when traveling on our trains.
