Detta notat som skrivits på uppdrag av Riksrevisionen har som utgångspunkt att resandet inte utvecklats i enlighet med de prognoser som låg till grund för beslutet om att bygga Arlandabanan. I separata promemorior i detta notat studeras två aspekter av att förändra förutsättningarna för den trafik som idag bedrivs på Arlandabanan.

 Vilka konsekvenser skulle en förändrad prisstrategi innebära?

 Finns tillräcklig kapacitet för att öka trafiken?

In year 2000, railway operations started between Arlanda airport and downtown Stockholm. The service is part of a PPP contract that includes construction and maintenance as well as service provision for a period of 45 years after the initiation of traffic. Patronage on the line is below expectations at the time of contract closure in 1993. There is therefore an ongoing discussion of whether it would be appropriate for the government to renegotiate the contract to change the preconditions for the service. Commissioned by Riksrevisionen, the Swedish National Audit Office, this memo addresses two aspects of a possible change of strategy:

 Which would the consequences be of a change of pricing strategy from the current targeting of the high end of the market? A 30 percent price reduction is considered.

 Is there enough track capacity to increase the number of departures during peak hours?
