Lidingöbanan reconstruction (Stockholm, Sweden)

Lidingöbanan is a prime example of partial modernization and combining the latest technologies with time-proven solutions. This is the only one of Stockholm's five tram systems, where retro trains were in operation for a long time. 

In summer 2013 the line was closed for a complete reconstruction. The total cost of the project is appr. 17 million Euro. One of the project's general contractors is Eltel (Sweden). Company Sebab (Sweden) has fulfilled the design, selection, and supply of equipment for 5 new traction substations of 1,6 MVA capacity: Ropsten, Baggeby, AGA, Högberga, Käppala. Ropsten, Baggeby and Aga are fed with 33 kV from SL own network and Högberga, Käppala with 11 kV from the public grid.  

 

PLUTON has supplied DC equipment for new traction substations. For the moment Baggeby, Högberga, Käppala and Aga are put into operation. Commissioning works are currently executed at Ropsten. 

 

The opening of renovated Lidingöbanan line with the new rolling stock is scheduled in 2015.
