Major problems in train traffic

North of Stockholm, there are serious disruptions and stoppages in train traffic.
The reason is the fire at Arlanda earlier on Thursday and an electrical fault.
– The latest we heard about the fire in the tunnel is that there will be a forecast from the Swedish Transport Administration at 19:00, they are an ongoing police operation in the tunnels under Arlanda, says Claes Keisu, press officer at Trafikförvaltningen Region Stockholm

At 2:30 p.m., the alarm came from Arlanda about smoke developing at the train station. Traffic was stopped and a police operation was launched.

Shortly after that, the next event occurred which put the train traffic in jeopardy.

– It is a demolition contact line between Rosersberg and Märsta, says Claes Keisu.

The incidents have caused canceled trains and delays.

– We have a track open with some traffic. But it is the Swedish Transport Administration that makes the priority decisions about which trains will go through, whether they are long-distance or commuter trains, says Claes Keisu.

SL has also started a ticket collaboration with SJ on the route between Uppsala and Stockholm, where several trains have been cancelled.

– You can travel with all the companies, if you have an SJ ticket you can travel on an SL train, for example, says Keisu.
