Trains are halted in large parts of Jutland due to signal failure

Train services in large parts of Jutland are suspended due to significant signal failures, with limited routes operational.

On Thursday afternoon, train services across large parts of Jutland are disrupted because of a major signal failure, according to DSB, the Danish State Railways. This issue has resulted in trains being halted 'in large parts' of the region, prompting extensive maintenance work by Banedanmark, the organization responsible for the country's railway infrastructure. As of 16:10, DSB indicated that Banedanmark is actively working on correcting the fault but has yet to provide a clear timeline for resolution.

Currently, train services are only available on a few routes, specifically between Fredericia - SΓΈnderborg/Flensborg, Lunderskov/Kolding - Copenhagen H, and Fredericia - Copenhagen H. Most train operations have been suspended, leading to significant inconvenience for travelers. Banedanmark succinctly described the situation as a 'major signal failure', and they expect the issues to potentially persist until at least 19:00, creating widespread delays.

As a customer service measure, DSB has implemented its Rejsetidsgaranti, which activates if passengers experience delays of more than 30 minutes. This measure aims to alleviate some strain on riders affected by the service disruptions. Travellers are advised to stay updated via the DSB and Banedanmark website and social media for the most current information on service restoration.
