Today, the rail service on Sørlandsbanen has been significantly disrupted, with the rail company Go-Ahead announcing that eight out of the 16 scheduled departures between Stavanger and Oslo have been canceled. This disruption also includes the night train from Stavanger to Oslo that was set to operate this evening.

To accommodate passengers affected by these cancellations, alternative transportation has been arranged. Instead of the canceled trains, bus services are being established to help travelers reach their destinations. This change is likely to cause inconvenience for many who rely on train services for travel between these two cities, especially for those planning a late-night journey.

The cancellations not only highlight issues within the rail service but also raise questions about the reliability of public transportation in the region. Ongoing service disruptions could impact commuting patterns and travel planning for residents and visitors alike, emphasizing the importance of contingency measures in public transport.
