Train information
Trains Gothenburg-Falkenberg and Kastrup-Falkenberg are operated by SJ or Öresundståg. All trips may be booked and paid either via the SJ website or the Öresundståg website, since these two operators collaborate with each other. The booking system on the Öresundståg website is available only in Swedish – for help in English, click here.
You can collect your train ticket from an SJ ticket machine at the Kastrup airport or at the Gothenburg central station. If you prefer an e-ticket, the following rule applies: if you book a trip operated by Öresundståg, you must buy the ticket on the Öresundståg website, not the SJ website (and vice versa).
For suggested train journeys on the day of arrival (Tuesday), please see the timetables below.
