English translation:backup train ferry terminal
Explanation:
The whole concept should be "tågfärjeläge i reserv". Looking at the whole of the Växjö court verdict it would appear that the "reserv" refers to a backup terminal for the train ferry after the other one (järnvägsläget) was demolished. Both identified as FL7 (färjeläge 7)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Agneta - that makes sense - I was confused by the fact that I found a couple of references translating reservtåg as commuter train - but you have reassured me :-)

agree  Anna Herbst: It's actually a terminal for cars and backup trains, but for the sake of the glossary I would leave the translation at "backup train"
