X60 is the designation of Greater Stockholm Transport's (SL) new Coradia Nordic-model commuter trains, which as of 2006 are gradually replacing the older commuter trainsets. ==Background== The original cars for the Stockholm commuter rail service, called X1, were delivered between 1967 and 1975. A batch of new cars, designated X10, were delivered between 1983 and 1993. These two sets of cars made up the backbone of the fleet from 1967 until 2005. As time went on and passengers demanded more comfortable travel and more features, SL came to realize that it was time to replace the older stock completely. In 2002, SL ordered 55 cars, with an option for 50 more, from the French manufacturer Alstom. The price for the first 55 cars is about SEK 4 billion. Delivery of the X60 began in 2005, and the initial order of 55 cars was expected to be completed in the spring of 2007. The X60 cars are replacing the older stock as they are delivered. Service with the X60 was inaugurated 13 August 2005 at Stockholm Central Station. The trains are manufactured in Salzgitter in Germany. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SL X60」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
