From three travelers it is cheaper than the ordinary commuter train — SEK 580 against SEK 600 — which is the reverse of what an express is meant to do, and it happens because the passage fee is charged per head with no group rate.

It still loses to the bus at every party size, by a wide margin.

The operator is A-Train, the same company that owns the station and levies the passage fee the commuter train has to pay.

It does not run at night.
