Swedish term or phrase: Optionstrafik
Avrop av delar av Optionerna förutsätter dock att avropad trafik kan sammankopplas med Grunduppdragets sträckor eller tidigare avropad Optionstrafik.

Found this:
Optionstrafik
(komplettering som kan verkställas utan att antalet fordon utökas)
Explanation:
Option means in this case a described new train line which the Public Transit Authority/-ies in question have/has an option to order at any time during the contract, as a whole or as a part of the line. It is not limited to the existing fleet.

Explanation:
I'll venture with these suggestions, which are pretty much straightforward, and perhaps you've thought of them... Seems the Swe is a newly coined term as well, have you found more than a handful of references?

Anyway this is from Canade where they talk of similar 'optional' changes to regularly scheduled rail traffic (in an appendix) http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/filesDB-download.php...
I presume this is 'passenger rail services' and not 'rail traffic'
