Arlanda Central Station () or Arlanda C is a railway station on the Arlanda Line serving Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden. It is served by various regional, intercity, and night trains operated by SJ, MälartÃÂ¥g and Vy TÃÂ¥g and since December 2012 also by Stockholm commuter rail.
Plans for a railway line from the city center of Stockholm to the airport started in the early 1990s. Policy-makers wanted to allow the airport to grow without increasing the road traffic to the airport, and decided to build a railway. The project involved building a branch from the existing East Coast Line from Rosersberg and back at Odensala. Financing was secured by introducing Sweden's first publicâÂÂprivate partnership, whereby a private consortium would be granted a 40-year permit to operate the line in exchange for all direct traffic and the right to collect usage fees from other train companies. The contract was won by A-Train in 1994, which started construction in 1995 and completed the line and station in 1999, with Arlanda C itself opening in 2000 on the East Coast Line shortly after the opening of Arlanda North and Arlanda South stations.
From 2006 to 2012, UpptÃÂ¥get operated a commuter train service every 30 minutes between Upplands Väsby and Uppsala via Arlanda C. At Upplands Väsby, passengers could transfer to Stockholm commuter rail. After Stockholm commuter rail started its service from ÃÂlvsjö (Tumba) to Uppsala C, UpptÃÂ¥get ended its commuter service,
Arlanda C is one of three train stations at Arlanda, the other two being Arlanda North Station and Arlanda South Station, both which are exclusively served by the Arlanda Express. Arlanda C is located directly under SkyCity, which is between terminal 4 and 5, and is from Stockholm Central Station. It is located in a long tunnel, which is one of the longest railway tunnels in Sweden.
The station is served by regional and long-distance trains operated by SJ, MälartÃÂ¥g and Vy TÃÂ¥g
SJ operates northbound fast trains from Stockholm to ÃÂstersund, Sundsvall and UmeÃÂ¥.
Since 9 December 2012, Stockholm commuter rail trains stop at Arlanda C every 30 minutes (60 minutes on weekend mornings and nights). It takes 38 minutes from Arlanda C to Stockholm City station, and 18 minutes to Uppsala C.
