From
May 2006, part of the Red Line (Tub2) branch will be closed down for
renovation along the railway. During this period, SL had put in 3 bus
routes for stage one and 2 bus routes for stage two. The entrepreneurs
that won the handle is Swebus, which represents approximately 60% of the
total traffic, Busslink 35% and Connex 15%.
Stage
1:
The
stretch between Liljeholmen and Fruängen (LIH-FRU) will be completely
closed down for extensive renovations between May 8th 2006 to June 18th
2006. Most trains that bound for Liljeholmen during day time will
terminate at Axelsberg, which is located on the Norsborg branch; this is
done to create more space at Liljeholmen.
SL
has set in 3 bus routes, and they are:
Line
14
Liljeholmen-Midsommarkransen-Telefonplan-Hägerstensåen
(-Västertorp-Fruängen)
Bus
14 will be the slowest one, also known as the local line between
Liljeholmen and Fruängen. Its frequency is approximately the same with
Tub2's regular timetable between Liljeholmen and Hägerstensåsen and
every 20th (during the day)/30th (rest of the time) to Fruängen. All
buses on this line will be run by Swebus's Mercedes Citaro Articulated,
Scania OmniLink and Neoplan Articulated.
Line
15
Liljeholmen-Fruängen
This
bus will serve as a shuttle bus, with no stops in between, from
Liljeholmen to Fruängen and back. It's every 10th minute during the
day, and every 5th minute during the rush hour in only one direction (FRU-LIH
morning/LIH-FRU evening). This service is replaced by line 14 after late
nights (approximately 22:00).
Line
16
Liljeholmen-Västertorp
Another
shuttle bus with no stops in between, except this time bounding for
Västertorp. This service runs every 10th minute throughout the day, and
replaced by service 14 after late nights (aaproximately 22:00).
Stage
2:
During
this period (19th June 2006 to 20th August 2006), the stretch between
Telefonplan and Fruängen (TFP-FRU) will be completely closed down for
renovation. Two bus routes are set in to serve the people living on this
branch.
The
two services are:
Line
14
This
bus is the same as the line 14 for stage 1, with the exception for that
it terminates at Telefonplan. It will run in 10th minute intervals to
Västertorp, with every third bounding for Fruängen. During nights and
mornings it will have the same frequency as how the regular Tub2 line 14
will have had for this period.
Line
15
Direct
bus to Fruängen, with no stop in between. It will run in 10th minute
interval throughout the day, however replaced by line 14 after 22:00.
At
the same time, service 141 is extended to Liljeholmen from Telefonplan,
having the same route as service 14, also, articulated buses from
Örebro will be set into traffic on service 141.
Service
147 will get a 200%-250% increase in its frequency, mainly aimed for
people commuting on the Tub2 branch between LIH and TFP, and the Örebro
buses will also be used on this service. |
