Thanks. I had no problems on any train I used in Sweden with the pass. One conductor on a Skånetrafiken service wasn’t aware of the digital pass and insisted I had to have it printed out. So UppTåget, Mälartåg and ÖstgötaTrafiken are the only “mainline” operators not accepting the pass which might catch some travellers out. Plus of Storstockholms Lokaltrafik though less likely seeing they run buses, trams and Metro. The latter have a good value 3 day pass.
I leave on Monday 9 and will be using Märlartåg Saturday-Sunday-Monday 14-15-16 May. I’ve used the SJ site to price them up and they only seem to have a single price (unlike say SJ who have a range of dynamically priced ones for most routes) Legs are:1. Arboga-Södertäjle Syd = SEK1722. Flemingsberg-Västerås C via Flen = SEK2143. Västerås C-Uppsala via Sala (which includes another carrier, UL not valid on the pass) = SEK207I’ve expanded the price grids on the SJ site in the screenshots below. The timings and specific route of the trains are important! I’m a railfan and the trip is to cover many different lines in Sweden rather than sightseeing or visiting people!
Thank you to all for your help on this. Little bit annoying that Märlartåg despite being similar to other regional operators across Sweden who accept IR (& Eurail) aren’t in the scheme. Unfortunately they are the only operator on the routes I’m travelling with and it pushes the cost of the trip up by another €50 or so. Fortunately I was already aware that the Stockholm local trains (SL) weren’t included in IR but a 72 hour pass including all other public transport in quite a wide area of Stockholm county is only SEK330 (€32). I’ll be posting another question in the right section regarding IR One Country Pass for Germany and a missing operator.
