Today I'm visiting parts of East Coast Line (Ostkustbanan) from Stockholm to Uppsala. The railway continues to Sundsvall
Sigtuna municipality has two railway stations along East Coast Line - Rosersberg and Märsta. In 1999, the new Arlandabanan railway opened, making most long distance trains take the route through the airport.
Rosersberg still serves pendeltåg trains.
The Land-Inn motel in Roserberg
Next stop is Märsta, which is also a stop for SJ Regional trains to/from Uppsala and Stockholm.
Station building is from 1914
One of the newer buildings in Märsta
Märsta is the end station for commuter trains to/from Södertälje.
Knivsta - next stop along the line belongs to Uppsala county. Since 2012 SL pendeltåg is operating here a service between Älvsjö and Uppsala.

The traffic is heavy on this route to Uppsala, there are discussions to build 2 more tracks for increased capacity.
