Östgötapendeln is a commuter rail system that stretches from the historical provinces Östergötland into Småland in Sweden. Östgötapendeln started its operation June 12, 1995 with the line Norrköping-Linköping-Mjölby-Tranås. In 2010–2015 Östgötapendeln trains continued to Nässjö and Jönköping. They have since been replaced by Krösatågen there.[1] A second line, Norrköping-Linköping-Mjölby-Motala, opened in April 2013, with two new stops at Skänninge and Motala.[2]
