Europabanan
Sign in to saveThe Europabanan () was a prominent concept within Sweden's ambitious plans for a new generation of high-speed railways, primarily envisioned to connect the central region of Jönköping with Scania in the south. Originally proposed to support speeds of up to 320 km/h, this line aimed to significantly enhance passenger transport efficiency and reduce travel times across southern Sweden [1]. Its design also stipulated a crucial connection point in Jönköping to the then-planned Götalandsbanan, which was conceived as a high-speed link between Sweden's two largest cities, Stockholm and Gothenburg [2]

==Previous proposals== There is also a proposal, but no real plan, to build a railway between Helsingborg and Copenhagen, including the HH Tunnel under the Öresund. The rail track on the current Öresund bridge is congested.
