Transportstyrelsen Rail published preliminary 2025 rail safety statistics on 15 January 2026, reporting 96 fatalities across Swedish rail traffic, down 16 from 2024. The deaths break down as 88 on conventional railways, 5 in metro systems, and 3 on tramways. The national target aims to halve fatalities to a maximum of 50 by 2030, which the agency's director-general indicated will be difficult to achieve at current rates of decline.
