Bergensbanen has been closed following a landslide that occurred over one of the tracks at Trengereid station. The closure affects travel between Trengereid and Arna, and officials from Bane Nor have reported significant delays as they assess the situation caused by the mud and clay slide. The impact of severe weather, including strong winds and rain, has been noted in the region on Thursday.

Anna Langhammer, a press contact at Bane Nor, communicated that they are working to clarify the situation, which currently prevents train operation on both tracks. Passengers have been informed that it would take some time to resolve the issues, and significant delays in train services are expected throughout the evening. The authorities are considering alternative arrangements to bypass the landslide area for any ongoing operations.

This incident is particularly concerning for rail travel in Vestlandet, where adverse weather conditions have already been reported. Local media, such as Bergens Tidende, were quick to cover the story, and announcements have been made on trains advising passengers about the ongoing efforts to manage the situation and ensure they can navigate around the obstacles posed by the landslide.
