Severe ice on railway contact lines has caused major disruptions in Swedish train traffic, particularly around Laxå.

Passengers, including Daniel Jakobsfrid, faced hours-long delays, with some waiting over four hours for replacement buses.

The ice, described as "pansar-ice," requires manual removal, a slow process involving hammers and skylifts.

Only one of five tracks through Laxå remains operational, leading to widespread cancellations and delays.

Frustrated travelers have criticized the lack of clear communication and insufficient replacement buses.

Despite the chaos, stranded passengers have tried to stay positive, but the situation remains challenging with no clear resolution in sight.
