An electrical fault in Hallsberg and a fire between the tracks on the section between Hallsberg and Laxå are causing extensive problems on the Västra stambanan on Thursday afternoon. Train traffic on the route has been stopped and trains are stationary at stations along the route. A train on its way to Stockholm has been evacuated between two stations near Skövde, according to the Swedish Transport Administration.
There is also a stop on Södra stambanan, between Hässleholm and Lund since 13.55. This is due to a catenary fault. The error affects, among other things, trains on the routes Stockholm C-Malmö C and Copenhagen.

According to the Swedish Transport Administration, there is currently no forecast for when traffic on the routes can start again. A large number of departures are affected.
