The accident must have happened between Falköping and Floby on the Västra main line. The train runs between Gothenburg and Stockholm and runs to it on Monday morning.
Since seven o’clock traffic has been at a standstill between Gothenburg and Skövde – something that causes some delays.
According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the work will take all morning. In the meantime, replacement traffic will be deployed.
– It has been stopped since just before seven and it is a very sensitive time. There are many trains that run, says Katarina Wolffram, press communicator for the Swedish Transport Administration.
Several trains affected
Traffic is expected to resume at 9 o’clock at the earliest, and for SJ’s part, eight trains are affected.
– We have offered customers the opportunity to rebook trains and then we will see what happens, says Johannes Cleris press communicator at SJ.
Will you deploy replacement buses?
– There is no replacement bus mode. They are mainly deployed if the trains are cancelled, says Johannes Cleris.
