During the weekend, the train service between Lund and Hässleholm is canceled due to track work.
The train stop applies from Saturday at 01.15 to Monday the chef at 03.15, reports P4 Blekinge.
– We will make the facility safer and more stable, says Ola Malmberg, head of maintenance at the Swedish Transport Administration.
Bus substitutes on the route according to a temporary timetable. This means longer travel time than usual.
– You should be aware that it will be a bit messy. You have to bear in mind that the bus takes a little longer than the train and that you are then out in good time, says Ola Malmberg.
He urges travelers to be up-to-date in the travel apps to receive information regarding replacement buses.

Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen are among those who do not intend to appear at the UN climate conference COP29, which starts on Monday.
“A waste of time”, thinks Papua New Guinea’s foreign minister.
The theme of this year’s climate meeting is money. During the two weeks that the meeting in Baku in Azerbaijan is taking place, the countries of the world will, among other things, try to agree on a new target for how much money the donor countries should spend per year on climate work.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not intend to appear, Euronews reports, among other things.
Ulf Kristersson has previously announced that he will not go, and neither will the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, be there. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is not coming and French President Emmanuel Macron is also abstaining citing the meeting being held in Azerbaijan.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is also not participating, due to the head injury he suffered after a fall last week.
According to Euronews, leaders from, among others, Japan, Australia, Mexico and India are also missing from the participant list.
COP29 takes place between November 11 and 22.
A police officer in Värmland has been dismissed after being charged with several crimes, writes NWT.
The police have stolen eggs and caviar at Ica, stolen a colleague’s computer and been caught for speeding in a company car.
The public contacted the police and told them that the policeman “drove madly” the official car at high speeds.
At one point he drove 196 kilometers per hour on an 80-lane road.
According to the newspaper, he is the first Värmland police officer to be fired in the 2020s.
“It is clear that he grossly disregarded his obligations towards the employer,” management writes in a report to the personnel responsibility board.
A 75-year-old woman has disappeared from her home in Västervik during the morning.
– She seems to have disappeared on a dog walk. It was the accommodation that raised the alarm. She has disappeared before and they themselves have looked for her in places where she was then found, says police spokesperson Sara Andersson.
A picture of illness means that the woman can act confused. She has a miniature pinscher dog with her.
The police urge anyone who has seen the woman in the near future to call 112.
At 11.30 the police announced that the woman has been found and that she is doing well.

The high-ranking Hamas leaders who have been allowed to live in Qatar for many years must now leave the country, Qatari and American sources tell CNN, among others.
An American source accuses Hamas of rejecting any proposal for a ceasefire in which the hostages held in Gaza are released – and that “its leaders should no longer be welcome in the capital of an American partner country”.
One of those who lived in the capital Doha was the movement’s top leader Ismail Haniya, who was killed during a visit to Iran this summer. Another is Khaled Mashal, who headed Hamas’s so-called Politburo for many years and is accused of involvement in the October 7 attacks on Israel.
It is not clear when Hamas’ remaining leaders are expected to have left Qatar – or where they might be headed.
Qatar has played a major role in the protracted ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.
A man has fallen from a window at a hotel in central Örebro.
The man was taken to hospital after the fall. He was then awake and talkative. According to Närkes Allehanda, the man must have fallen from the second floor.
– We have been on site and talked to people, based on that we have no suspicions of crime, but consider the whole thing to be an accident, says police spokesperson Lars Hedelin.
During the night, a man with a knife tried to stab a boy outside a school in Hallstahammar.
A passer-by called the police and raised the alarm at 00:55. The incident must have happened after some kind of argument between the man and the boy.
The young boy was not seriously injured.
Thanks to witness statements, the police were able to arrest a man who fits the description.
The man, who is 35 years old, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted aggravated assault.
Shortly before 11pm on Friday evening, the police were alerted to a youth party in Ängelholm.
– It was noisy and people at the party raised the alarm. When we got there, many people had left, but someone had lost their shoes, says police spokesperson Sara Andersson
A theft report has been filed.

Iran denies allegations that Iranian agents planned to assassinate US President-elect Donald Trump.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs writes in a statement that it “rejects all allegations that Iran would be involved in an assassination attempt against former or current American politicians”.
According to legal documents filed in a Manhattan court in New York on Friday, the plans were revealed in FBI interviews with an Afghan man deported from the United States. The man told the interrogation that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard contacted him in September and tasked him with planning how an assassination of Trump could be carried out.

Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas has congratulated future US president Donald Trump on his election victory. In the phone call, Abbas said he is ready to participate in efforts to reach a “just and comprehensive peace”, according to Abbas’ presidential office.
According to the Palestinian president’s office, Trump had “underlined that he wants to work to stop the war, that he is prepared to work with President Abbas and the relevant parties in the region and in the world to achieve peace in the region.”
Trump’s staff has not commented on the phone call. During the election campaign, Trump has hinted that he wants to see peace in the Middle East, but at the same time he highlighted the full support of the United States for Israel. He also expressed understanding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to “finish the work” of stopping Hamas in Gaza.
