Train stoppage in Norway

Everything solved, said the train company – but the trains are standing still

The train stoppage is over, announced the Norwegian train company Bane Nor at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening after twelve hours of train chaos throughout the country. Just over half an hour later, the opposite message came: the error has not been solved, but only a few trains are starting to run. This is reported by Norwegian media.

– We have found and isolated the error, but it is not solved, says press communicator Øystein Stavdal Paulsen to VG.

The cause of the train stoppage is believed to be a communication error between the trains and the traffic control center.
 
Travelers are urged to take a taxi: “I don’t have 4,000”

At lunchtime, all trains in Norway are still standing still due to a communication error, while the replacement buses are not enough, VG reports.

The train company Vy has offered its customers compensation if they take a taxi – across the country if necessary. But for Anne Simones, who is on her way home to her dog Melvin in the town of Rygge, that was not an option.

– I thought I would take a taxi, but it cost 4,000 kronor, but I don’t have 4,000 kronor. So I’m getting nowhere, she tells VG.

When Anne tried to contact Vy, she received no answer. Many travelers are upset about the lack of information. The train company is the Norwegian equivalent of SJ and has been criticized for cutting staff at stations, writes TT.
