The route
What the journey actually looks like

- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves Linköping at 06:46 and the last at 18:39, across 8 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

VST is not in Västerås, and the drive in from it is the part of the trip nobody plans. We sell the flight and stop at the terminal door.

Where these numbers come from
Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
