Expansion plans

With the expansion of Mariastaden and the Maria station area, travel from the station is expected to increase and to meet the capacity requirement, the station was expanded to four tracks. This and the double-track expansion of the Västkustbanan between Maria station and Ängelholm was finished in 2024.

The railway between Maria and the Helsingborg's central station is still single track. It is planned to be rebuilt to double track through construction of the Tågaborg Tunnel. When the construction of this tunnel can be carried out is still unclear.
