Dovrebanen still closed
The Dovrebanen railway remains closed due to a malfunction, causing delays and possible cancellations of trains.
On Sunday morning, the Dovrebanen railway was closed between Hamar and Tangen due to an electrical fault. As of 14:50 local time, the infrastructure company Bane NOR is still working on resolving the issue. A further update regarding the situation is anticipated at 18:00.
Travelers have been advised to prepare for delays and potential cancellations as the situation unfolds. In light of the disruptions, the Norwegian train company Vy has arranged for bus services to accommodate passengers affected by the cancelled trains. This measure is aimed at minimizing inconvenience for those reliant on the Dovrebanen railway for travel between the affected stations.
The closure of the Dovrebanen has significant implications for both local commuters and regional transportation, especially since it is a key route connecting various parts of Norway. The repair efforts, expected to be updated later in the day, underline an ongoing commitment to maintaining the reliability of the rail service in the region.
