MTR Express

MTR Express is a private train company based in Sweden, a subsidiary of MTR global which has operations in Hong Kong, Australia, UK, Sweden and China.

MTR Express was established in 2015 with a sustainable transport mission and focuses on converting journeys between Stockholm and Gothenburg from car and air to train.

In 2018 they created a low-carbon staff holiday scheme, awarding employees that choose the train instead of travelling by air with an additional paid leave day.

"At MTR Express we are all about promoting sustainable travel. We know that many people want to travel sustainably but for longer distances the longer travel time becomes a hurdle. There has been a lot of excitement about the scheme among our staff - and we hope to inspire other companies to follow our lead."
