Track work Uppsala-Storvreta 22-26 May 2017

In the spring, the Swedish Transport Administration is continuing its work to connect the double track past Gamla Uppsala. While the work is in progress and the rails are unavailable for train services, the Upptåget train is replaced with bus services along the stretch Vattholma – Uppsala. Upptåget does travel to Storvreta, where it is possible to transfer to routes 110 and 115. Because it is not possible to turn the buses around at Storvreta station, all replacement buses travel from and to Vattholma. The replacement buses (route 999) depart from bus stop X in Vattholma and bus stop C1 in Uppsala. The buses from Uppsala C depart 15 minutes before the train's regular departure time.

For wheelchair users, you can order a taxi the day before your travel via UL Customer Service.
