Abstract: We consider biased random walks in a one-dimensional percolation model. This model goes back to Axelson-Fisk and H"aggstr"om and exhibits the same phase transition as biased random walk on the infinite cluster of supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation on $mathbb{Z}^d$, namely, for some critical value $lambd{a}_{mathrmc}>0$ of the bias, it holds that the asymptotic linear speed $overlinemathrmv$ of the walk is strictly positive if the bias $lambda$ is strictly smaller than $lambd{a}_{mathrmc}$, whereas $overlinemathrmv=0$ if $lambdageqlambd{a}_{mathrmc}$. We show that at the critical bias $lambda=lambd{a}_{mathrmc}$, the displacement of the random walk from the origin is of order $n/logn$. This is in accordance with simulation results by Dhar and Stauffer for biased random walk on the infinite cluster of supercritical bond percolation on $mathbb{Z}^d$. Our result is based on fine estimates for the tails of suitable regeneration times. As a by-product of these estimates we also obtain the order of fluctuations of the walk in the sub-ballistic and in the ballistic, nondiffusive phase.
