SJ is also stopping departures between Malmö and Copenhagen this summer. The stop lasts one month, between July 3 and August 4, reports Helsingborgs Dagblad. The reason is stated to be “large vehicle shortage”.
In total, it is about 20,000 travelers that the regional traffic Öresundstågen will now take care of.
– During individual departures, it can be noticed that there are more people. Trains have strong capacity and over the bridge we have multiple or triple connected trains. It shouldn’t be noticed by so much, says Hans Engleson, business area manager trains at Skånetrafiken, to the newspaper.
However, according to train staff that HD has been in contact with, the trains are already full.
SJ and Öresundstrafiken collaborate on tickets for departures across the strait. SJ’s customers are therefore advised to take the Öresund trains with a regular ticket.
