Massive Delays Hit Swedish Train Services

Published: 2024-03-18

Train traffic between Stockholm C and major cities such as Gothenburg, Malmö, as well as international destinations like Karlstad and Oslo, has been severely disrupted due to an electrical fault.

The issue, which began affecting the route between Södertälje syd and Gnesta, has led to significant delays, with some trains being delayed for hours.

For example, a train from Malmö to Stockholm, which was supposed to arrive at 17:37, now has an estimated arrival time of 20:00 due to an "incident," while another train from Göteborg, expected at 17:26, is now rescheduled to 19:30 following an "accident.

" The Swedish Transport Administration has acknowledged the problem but has not provided a timeline for when service will resume normally.

Meanwhile, SJ's press service has confirmed that trains are currently at a standstill, with no additional information available.
