TheRegina is aSwedish model ofelectric multiple unitpassenger train, manufactured byBombardier Transportation (formerlyAdtranz). It is used by the national passenger railwaySJ along with numerous regional and private operators, in variants designatedX50,X51,X52,X53,X54 andX55 (marketed asSJ 3000), and in two-, three-, and four-carriage models. The Regina units are short trains built for local and regional service. The Regina is wider than other Swedish trains; at3.45 m (11 ft3+7⁄8 in), it allows five-across seating, increasing passenger capacity by 25%. The car body is built ofstainless steel, with only bolsters and coupler pockets made ofmild steel. The length is 54 m (177 ft 2 in), 80 m (262 ft 6 in) and 105 m (344 ft 6 in), and the capacity is 165-294 seats. A variant of the Regina is used inChina as theCRH1. UnlikeX 2000, Regina trainsets are corrugateless due to the abandonment ofmolybdenum content fortitanium.
Top speeds of various models range from 180 to 200 km/h (110 to 125 mph). As part of theGröna tåget ("the green train") project, a modified X52 train set the Swedish rail-speed record of 303 km/h (188 mph) on 14 September 2008;[2] the goal was to reach 250 km/h (155 mph) in regular service.[3]
In late 2007 it was announced that SJ were ordering twenty units furnished forinter-city service.[4] These trains, designatedX55 (also marketed asSJ 3000), were delivered during 2011 and 2012, and are used on the routes connecting Stockholm with destinations likeSundsvall,Karlstad,Oslo, andFalun, allowing the displacedX 2000 units to be used instead to lengthen the busy trains running toGothenburg andMalmö.[5] These units are four-carriage trains with a first-class section and an on-board bistro; four-across seating. There is an option for another 20 units.[1]
