Tibro is a place ( Tatort ) in the Swedish province of Västra Götalands län and the historic province of Västergötland . The place is the main town of the municipality of the same name .
The name Tydabro quern is first mentioned, referring to a mill on the river Tidan which flows through the place in 1455. The name of the place is composed of the river name and the Swedish word bro for bridge. At the turn of the year 1946/47 the parish was given the name, which until then was called Kyrkefalla.
Tibro is about 20 kilometers northeast of Skövde , between the lakes Vänern and Vättern . The place can be called the furniture center of Sweden. Around 80 companies in this branch, including Mio , have settled here.
traffic
A railway connection from Skövde to Karlsborg had existed since July 27, 1876 with the 43 km long Karlsborgbana . Tibro had a train station on this route. The electrification of the single-track line took place in 1937. The tracks are still there.
Passenger traffic was stopped in 1986 and freight traffic at the end of the 1990s. Trafikverket plans to demolish the line (Bandel 541) between Karlsborg and Skövde.
The Tibro – Karlsborg section was officially closed in 2010 and the Skövde – Tibro section followed at the end of 2018. The line has been without maintenance since 2010 and is in poor condition. Thereafter, the plan is to sell the entire site, which can then be used for pedestrian and cycle paths as well as local roads. The demolition is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in 2023.
