Norrtåg
Norrtåg (English: North trains) is a publicly owned company which is owned by Norrbotten County, Västerbotten County, Västernorrland County and Jämtland County in Sweden. The company owns passenger trains and organises passenger train operation. Norrtåg controls ticket sales and contracts an operator which handles actual train operation (staff and permits). The trains are operated under the brand name Norrtåg. Norrtåg owns eleven electric multiple unit trains of the type X62, and one of the diesel powered type Itino.
Norrtåg started operation in 2010 on the brand new railway Botniabanan, and in 2011 it took over the traffic until then branded Mittnabotåget. Trains were operated by Botniatåg (owned by SJ AB and DB Regio) until 20 August 2016, when Tågkompaniet took over the franchise.
