Thérése Juel’s daughter and family were left on the platform in Ånge: “Just to return home”

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

On Saturday, Thérése Juel drove daughter and family to Ånge station. With the ongoing disruption to train traffic, the son-in-law called SJ several times to confirm the departure time.

SJ confirmed that the original departure time of 18:24 had been brought forward to 20:14 due to the fact that connecting buses from Östersund, among others, would arrive.

With just over an hour to spare, the situation feels under control, says Thérése Juel.

– We will get there when the clock starts to approach 19:20. Then my son-in-law receives a notice in his app that the departure time has been changed to 19:18. So when we roll into the station, we see the train leaving the platform.

Several travelers were affected

But it wasn’t just them who missed the train, according to Thérése Juel.

– Everyone who took the connecting bus from Östersund left after 20:14. Some were hungry, so some put their bags on the train and went to the store to buy something – only to see the train pull away an hour earlier with their luggage.

SJ confirms the hastily changed departure time.

– It’s not good and I can’t help but regret. We will of course investigate further what has happened, says Leila Fogelholm, press communicator SJ, who adds:

– I would like to urge all those affected to send in any costs incurred as a result of this, she says.

After the missed departure, Thérése Juel’s daughter and family have now been rebooked to a departure on Sunday afternoon.

– A taxi will come to pick them up here in Svenstavik, so I don’t have to drive, says a slightly relieved Thérése Juel.
