May be of interest for some viewers that Roslagsbanan (in part) was the the first railway to be electrified. And that Djursholms Ösby at one point was Europes (maybe even the worlds) busiest station based on the number of trains passing.
Ye i was thinking about the electrical thing. There is this really really old picture of the Täby centrum station from the 1900 where tgere is like a small red house and a locomotive.
Thanks, Simon, I enjoy your RUclips videos! I saw a photo of the new Stadler Class X15p trains in my Today's Railways edition and really thought they were attractive trains. I am in the USA where we have few cities with commuter rail, and none in my city, New Orleans, Louisiana. One thing I am always interested in is the level of the entrance to the platform, and this is rarely shown in videos of commuter trains. I would like to see how the different commuter rail systems handle the difference in gaps between the train and the platform, and the level of the floor to the platform. Some European trains I have ridden have a very awkward narrow step that comes out from the train when it arrives at the platform. I just don't understand why trains cannot be built with a similar arrangement to subway cars... 2 or 3 inch gap between train and platform, and floor at same level.
The answer is that it can be built to the same standards, but it ultimately comes down to costs, compatibility, and the legacy infrastructure in place. In many areas, older infrastructure or curved platforms still pose challenges, requiring solutions that involve compromises-such as small retractable steps extending from the train to bridge the gap. Metros are typically operated by a single company or entity that has managed the system throughout its entire existence. In contrast, railways are often a patchwork of infrastructure developed by numerous smaller companies over vast distances, each with their own standards and ideas.
Did they replace the wooden board rail crossing at Stockholm Ö, depot area? If they dont, its over 70 years old. Btw the Stockholm Ö station is the oldest building in the trains system
the proposal of extending the line towards T-centralen is a good idea but it'd require a 4 km tunnel & would cost quite a lot of money, which is why I'm personally very against it. Also, T-centralen is already quite saturated and bringing in additional influx of people isn't ideal. However I do recognize the need of extending the line towards the city center: but a more indirect route should be chosen so that the line can be built on surface. Since these trains are narrower, they could also potentially travel alongside car-traffic, like a tram, in order to reach the city center.
The route was chosen to maximize systemic effect which is the way to go in my opinion. Also, I don’t think running it on the street would work very well either, as SL has been working for a very long time to move Roslagsbansn away from light rail territory and more towards being a full on commuter rail line by closing smaller stations and building more double track. It would also reduce the lines capacity and speed.

Intresting! Thanks for sharing 😀

nice film. never expected narrow gauge railway near Stockholm. Pure surprise for me, I love narrow gauge
Tjusningen med "Prärie-Expressen" va ju dom gamla vagnarna som gjorde skillnaden på stadståg och bonnvishan.. jag tyckte mer om dom gamla 👍
A very nice video from my hometown about Roslagsbanan. The new X15 had som trouble in the beginning. But now it works just fine 😎

1:00 Just a note here: in rush traffic the trains will be grouped with 5-6 cars
Always 6, 5 car trains are not possible
The new Stadler trains have similar styling to the new Stadler trains for the Tyne & Wear Metro and Merseyrail.

What is their top speed?
I just see 🇨🇭 when watching the new stadler-untits🥰

var första vid djursholms ösby?
Yes just a little walk down the line towards Näsby
how centimetre is this gauge??
It's 891 mm.
This gives me Japanese vibes
Why? 😭☠️
