Signal malfunction causes delays across the entire metro network
A signal malfunction is causing significant delays on the Oslo metro network, affecting all lines until at least 9 AM.
The Oslo metro network is currently experiencing major delays across all lines due to a signal malfunction. The public transport agency, Ruter, has announced that these delays are expected to last until at least 9 AM. Commuters are advised to seek alternative travel options as train speeds between stations have dropped significantly.
One Aftenposten employee reported that their journey from Godlia to Helsfyr took 25 minutes, a route that typically only takes 6 minutes. This stark increase in travel time illustrates the impact of the signal issue on daily commuters who rely on the metro for timely transportation. With the majority of morning rush hour still ongoing, these delays are likely to affect many passengers.
The incident raises concerns over the reliability of the metro system, and commuters could experience a knock-on effect as they try to adjust their plans to accommodate the unexpected delays. Continued updates from Ruter will be necessary to keep passengers informed about the situation as it develops, as timely communication will be crucial during this disruption.
