Lund tramway

The Lund tramway (Swedish: Lunds spårväg), marketed as LundaExpressen, consists of a single double-track 5.5 km (3.4 mi) 9-stop tram line in Lund, Sweden. The Lund tramway was inaugurated on 12 December 2020. It connects Lund Central Station with the hospital, Lund University (LTH), Ideon Science Park, the new upcoming district of Brunnshög, the MAX IV synchrotron light source, and the European Spallation Source with a 15-minute tram ride. It is the fourth modern city tramway in Sweden, after Stockholm and neighbouring municipalities, Gothenburg and Norrköping, and the first all-new tramway system in Sweden since 1911. The Lund tramway is operated by Skånetrafiken, which also operates the city and regional buses and trains. The first of the CAF-manufactured trams was delivered on 29 July 2020, and is named Åsa-Hanna after the 1918 novel of the same name by Lund-born Elin Wägner. The tram line opened to the public on Lucia day, 13 December 2020. The project has been jointly funded in different parts by Lund municipality, Region Skåne, Skånetrafiken and the Swedish state, costing 1.5 billion SEK (approximately 148 million euro).
