The West Coast Line (Swedish: Västkustbanan) is a railway line between Gothenburg and Lund, which runs along the West Coast of Sweden. It is electrified all the way. It was originally built in 1880-1995, but it is since 1980 being rebuilt to a fast fairly straight double track railway along a mostly new route, basically a new railway. This was as of 2024 was still not completed, as the part through Varberg and through Helsingborg are both single-track.
In northern Helsingborg the track follows a 150 year old right of way, which has tight curves together with a steep climb. Passing trains must not run faster than 30 km/h during inclement weather. Double track construction takes place between 2020 and 2023. although the track in northern Helsingborg will remain as it is for several more years.
A doubletrack tunnel under the city of Varberg is under construction since 2019.
