Many canceled trains – repairmen sick
Illness and staff shortage mean that SJ is unable to repair several X2000 trains that have suffered damage, reports P4 Gothenburg.
It is, among other things, ice formation that led to the injuries.
During the next two weeks, several train departures between Gothenburg and Stockholm have been cancelled.
– This week there have been four canceled departures per day, about eight a day, says SJ’s press communicator Martina Nord to the radio channel.
Next week it is believed to be two canceled departures per day. SJ hopes that the problems will be solved in two weeks.
Until then, passengers are rebooked to other departures.

SMHI issues red flood warning
SMHI has issued a red warning for flooding in several places. It is the highest level and applies to upper Viskan between Borås and Ulricehamn.
The warning has also been issued for the upper Ätran between Svenljunga and Tranemo.
The bodies of water threaten regionally important roads and there is a risk of flooding affecting homes and commercial businesses.
The Swedish Transport Agency urges road users to exercise caution as road conditions can be difficult.
– National highway 40 is one of the roads that are close to the areas where the warnings have been issued. So far, no one has announced that we would have to block roads, says Katarina Wolffram, press communicator at the Swedish Transport Administration and continues:
– But it is important to make your own assessment and choose a different route in case of large water accumulations.

Why do you allow the rampant electricity price that makes the electricity companies make billions while ordinary people sit and freeze at home, do not get food for the day or are allowed to leave their homes? Crazy!
Marcus
Reasonable question Markus. We don’t have the answer, but we’re trying to put it to those responsible.
Another try: is it illegal to on
public place hanging out a doll with a famous person’s face?
Milan
No. As long as there is no threat or incitement against ethnic groups or the like.
What does the law say about hanging a doll with a face mask similar to a person? If so, is there a difference between an ordinary person and the president of a foreign state?
Millan
It is legal. Whoever the doll resembles.
The appropriateness of the protest with the Erdogan doll is debatable. But it is not punishable.
