The Vice-President of the Swedish People's Party would like to remind you that the existing rail network also requires development plans.

The focus of the general discussion is now on the major track projects, which risks the existing network being forgotten.-ELSA-banan and the Finnish track are future projects. It is important that proposals are now being made now on how to develop the existing infrastructure, says Wickström.Wickström hopes that the Ministry of Transport and Communications could provide information on how the existing Helsinki-Turku line, that is, the coastal track could develop.-The coastal path is a lifeblood for West Uusimaa and thousands of New Zealanders use it daily to commute to work and study. For the region of vitality, it is important that the coastal path is developed and communications to Helsinki and Turku are operational, says Wickström.Wickström says that the municipalities of Western Sweden have produced a simpler version of the development of the coastal track. That's where the coastal track would get some double tracks. This combined with the realization of the Esbostadsbanan would significantly increase capacity along the coastal track. This could also open the possibility of direct train connections from Hanko to Helsinki and provide the possibility for the opening of, among other things, the opening of the european union. Enter into a station," says Wickström.Wickström points out that it is irresponsible to forget about the existing infrastructure. He believes that the existing network also needs to be developed.-Developing the coastal path is a short-term issue. The government has ambitious climate goals which is good. Developing the coastal path so that it could be opened to more traffic would be a concrete measure, Wickström concludes.
