järnvägshållplats

A järnvägshållplats, often translated as a railway halt or stopping place, is a location on a railway line where trains stop to allow passengers to board or alight. Unlike a larger railway station, a järnvägshållplats typically has a more basic infrastructure. It may consist of little more than a platform, sometimes with a simple shelter to protect passengers from the weather. Signage indicating the name of the halt and stopping times is usually present.

These halts are often found in smaller villages, rural areas, or on less trafficked lines where the demand for extensive facilities is not present. They serve a local purpose, connecting smaller communities to the wider rail network. The frequency of train services at a järnvägshållplats can vary significantly, from infrequent stops to more regular services depending on the route and passenger demand. Some halts may be request stops, meaning trains only stop if a passenger signals them or has booked a ticket in advance. The ticket purchasing facilities, if any, are usually absent at a järnvägshållplats, with passengers typically expected to purchase tickets online or from a nearby station.
