Still signal errors on the Bergen Line – causing delays and cancellations

Signal errors on the Bergen Line are leading to delays and cancellations due to problems that started after flooding.

The Bergen Line continues to experience signal errors at Bolstadøyri, according to reports from Bane Nor. This ongoing issue has created significant disruptions for train services on Saturday, following the initial onset of problems that began the previous day due to flooding in the area. Bane Nor has communicated that they are currently working to rectify the signal faults, and an update is expected later in the day.

As a result of these signal errors, several trains have been cancelled between Voss and Dale, causing inconvenience for travelers planning to use the Bergen Line and local services. Passengers are advised to check the Vy app or Entur for real-time updates on train schedules and the status of journeys affected by the issues. With travel impacted for at least two days, the situation highlights the broader challenges of maintaining rail services during adverse weather conditions.

Bane Nor's press spokesperson, Øystein Stavdal Paulsen, mentioned that while progress has been made in clearing floodwaters, work on the signaling equipment is set to begin soon. The persistence of these signal problems underscores the need for improved infrastructure resilience in the face of natural events, as such disruptions can significantly affect transportation networks and passenger trust in rail services in Norway.
