<p>Swedish SJ is ordering 20 new wide-body Regina trains with bistros for intercity service, says managing director Jan Forsberg. The trains will reach 200 km/h but can later be "reprogrammed" for 250 km/h. They will replace five X 2000 trains currently used on slower and less popular routes. The X 2000 units will be shifted to the Stockholm-Göteborg/Sundsvall/Malmö routes. There are currently 70 Regina trains in operation for regional service in Sweden. Manufacturer Bombardier is currently testing a Regina train at up to 275 km/h as part of the "Gröna Tåget" research and development program.  </p>
