Signal Failure Halts Oslo Train Services

Published: 2024-10-28

A major disruption hit Oslo's central train station, Oslo S, due to a signal failure, causing a complete halt in train services.

Bane Nor, the company responsible for railway infrastructure, is actively searching for the fault, but the duration of the disruption remains uncertain.

This issue affects all train lines passing through Oslo, including major routes like the Gardermobanen and Sørlandsbanen.

Vy, the train operator, has arranged for buses to replace trains on several routes, although not all are operational yet.

The disruption has led to significant traffic congestion around the station, prompting police to advise against unnecessary driving in the area.

Travelers are experiencing delays, and long taxi queues have formed at Gardermoen Airport as a result of the train stoppage.
