If you can find someone who will take you to Brändåsen, a big petrol station in the direcction Askersund, about 30 kilometers from Örebro. It is a place where many cars and trucks stops on the way south. It is not recommendable if you want to go to Gothenburg but for the southeastern part of sweden is is good. You can also reach it by bus 841 that leaves from Resecentrum (busstation beside the trainstation) and also passes the busstop at Södra station, a few times every day. The ride is about 70 kronor. Note that you can not pay in cash at the bus. You need to buy ticket at resecentrum.
===East in the direction of [[Stockholm]] ===
Go to the main train station. The big road in front of the station is Östra bangatan. With the station building in your back, turn left on the Östra bangatan. Follow the road about 1000 meters and you will have a petrol station on the right side. It is the last petrol station before the exit to the highway. Just after the crossing you have also a bus-stop where you can stand. This place is also good for any direction in the north of Sweden.
