==Lines and services== {{Unreferenced section|date=October 2023}} [[File:X2 Graverfors.jpg|thumb|X 2000 at [[Graversfors]] in June 2011]] === Former lines and services === * In 2000–2004, seven trains were operated by [[Linx (railway company)|Linx]] on the transeuropean route [[Oslo]]–[[Gothenburg]]–[[Malmö]]–[[Copenhagen]] and Oslo–[[Stockholm]]. Linx was a [[joint venture]] between SJ and its Norwegian counterpart [[Vy|NSB]]. It was wound up when SJ wanted to move the trains to more profitable lines in Sweden. Low-fares airlines also played a part in siphoning off passengers from the comparatively slow Linx services, the main ones taking well in excess of three hours. * Briefly in 2010–2011 X 2000 trains ran once daily between [[Stockholm]] and [[Odense]]. * In 2012–2013, when SJ received its [[Bombardier Regina|X55]] trains, X 2000 services were suspended on a number of routes and reduced on others. ** One example is [[Stockholm Central Station|Stockholm]]–[[Sundsvall]], with one daily departure, calling at [[Arlanda Airport|Arlanda]], [[Uppsala]], [[Gävle]], [[Söderhamn]], [[Hudiksvall]] and Sundsvall. This route formerly used a single X 2000 trainset until it was replaced with X55. This is because there is since 2012 a continuation to [[Umeå]] which requires installation of [[ERTMS]], which X 2000 does not have (as of 2025 at least). ===Current lines and services=== *[[Stockholm Central Station|Stockholm]]–[[Gothenburg]], calling at [[Södertälje|Södertälje Syd]], [[Katrineholm]], [[Hallsberg]], [[Skövde]], [[Herrljunga]], [[Alingsås]] and [[Gothenburg]]. Not all trains call at all stations. Since 2015 [[VR Snabbtåg Sverige]] (formerly [[VR Snabbtåg Sverige|MTRX]]) has competed with SJ on this route (previously [[FlixTrain]] as well from 2019 until 2024). *[[Stockholm Central Station|Stockholm]]–[[Oslo]], calling at [[Södertälje|Södertälje Syd]], [[Katrineholm]], [[Hallsberg]], [[Degerfors]], [[Kristinehamn]], [[Karlstad]] and [[Arvika]] before crossing the border to Norway, calling at [[Kongsvinger]] and finally [[Oslo Central Station|Oslo S]]. From December 2018 onward, the X 2000 trains to Oslo have been temporarily replaced with [[SJ Rc|loco-hauled]] stock and [[Bombardier Regina|X55 Bombardier Regina]] express electric multiple units due to track work in Norway. A few X 2000 trains are used in services towards [[Karlstad]]. *[[Stockholm Central Station|Stockholm]]–[[Malmö]], with many trains continuing to [[Copenhagen]], calling at [[Södertälje|Södertälje Syd]], [[Norrköping]], [[Linköping]], [[Mjölby]] (occasionally), [[Nässjö]], [[Alvesta]], [[Älmhult]] (occasionally), [[Hässleholm]], [[Lund Central Station|Lund]] and [[Malmö]]. Services to [[Copenhagen]] also call at {{rws|Copenhagen Airport}}, [[Copenhagen Central Station]] and {{rws|Østerport}} (usually). For a short period during 2010–2011, there was one daily train to/from [[Odense]]. *[[Gothenburg]]–[[Malmö]], where one of the daily round trips uses the X 2000. ===2008 new high-speed trains=== In 2008 SJ ordered 20 [[Bombardier Regina|X55 Bombardier Regina]] trains with four coaches to replace the X 2000 on lines with lower demand and where its performance cannot be fully utilised (especially on lines north of Stockholm such as the [[Bothnia Line|Botniabanan]]). When these trains were delivered in 2012 and 2013 the X 2000 trains could be concentrated to fewer lines with bigger demands such as Stockholm–Malmö/Copenhagen and Stockholm–Gothenburg, using double-length X 2000 between Stockholm and Gothenburg during rush hours and weekends.
