Train services on the Vestfold Line between Stokke and Sandefjord have been halted due to safety concerns following a landslide in the region. Vy, the train operating company, has reported the issue, indicating that a significant mass movement of earth has occurred, rendering the track unsafe. Anna Langhammer, a press contact from Bane Nor, stated that it will take time to assess the situation before trains can resume operations.

Passengers are advised to expect delays, with the possibility of some train services being canceled altogether. Bane Nor is actively working on securing alternative transportation options for stranded travelers but is facing challenges. According to Vy, there are very few available buses and taxis, making it challenging to arrange sufficient alternative travel methods for those affected. They recommend that individuals consider other means of travel during this disruption.

An update is expected to be provided later in the evening at 22:00, as authorities continue to investigate and address the aftermath of the landslide. The impact of this disruption may affect a significant number of commuters reliant on this route, highlighting the importance of infrastructure stability in adverse weather conditions or geological occurrences.
