It should be stressed that any given PKXP number did not necessarily indicate the same route throughout its life. To take as an example PKXP No.1 shown in figure 6; it represented the Stockholm-Katrineholm route only from 1909 to 1917. It is therefore necessary to have a complete list with dates of operation.

Sjögren(4) gives the same information but it is arranged alphabetically in order of places served.
