Sweden's Trafikverket plans a continuous double-track expansion of the Southern Main Line between Hässleholm and Lund (Skåne region), designed for speeds up to 250 km/h to add capacity for passenger and freight traffic. Total cost for this and five other capacity projects in Skåne is estimated at roughly SEK 28 billion (2021 price level). According to the source, the localisation study is currently underway (2026-2029), followed by a permissibility review (2030-2031) and construction (2034-2047); service is expected to start between 2043 and 2048, considerably later than the originally listed 2035 date.
