Train services between Norrköping and Linköping experienced delays on Tuesday due to a contact line issue. The Swedish Transport Agency provided this information.
- It is a contact line that is worn out, says Felicia Danielsson, press officer at Trafikverket. Her statement does not provide specific details about how the fault occurred or who was responsible for it.
Trafikverket has not yet fully identified the cause of the fault but maintenance teams are on site. By 9 PM, trains returned to their regular schedules despite the delays.
- It might be that they will need to bring material there and then it could take some time, says Felicia Danielsson about potential necessary repairs. Her statement suggests that full service restoration may take some time.
