On Tuesday morning, a tram derailed and drove into a shop in the center of Oslo. A large area has been cordoned off after a tram drove into the Apple House in Storgata in the center of Oslo. Storgata is closed between Hammersborggata, Kirkeristen and Biskop Gunnerus gate. This is the status of public transport and the area now: The police have blocked off large parts of Storgata in the center of Oslo. Therefore, several of the tram’s lines are split up. They drive parts of the line and turn either at Nybrua, Stortorvet or in Bjørvika. There is no traffic between Nybrua, Jernbanetorget or Stortorvet. This is how the tram lines are run according to spokesperson Øystein Dahl Johansen in Ruter: Lines 11, 12, 17 and 18 from the east turn at Nybrua. Lines 11, 12, 13, 17, 18 and 19 from the west turn at Stortorvet. Lines 13 and 19 from the east turn in Bjørvika. Ruter asks travelers to use alternative stops for their journeys. Several bus and tram stops in central Oslo will not be served after the accident.

Press spokesperson Johansen says that there are major delays in bus traffic. Bus lines 34, 54, 30, 31, 60 and 70 are also affected by the accident. – On these lines, there are delays in addition to the fact that they do not get serviced stops in Storgata or the area around Jernbanetoget, says Johansen. He emphasizes that they will update the information in the Ruter app and on their websites. Published 29/10/2024, at 14.46 Updated 29/10/2024, at 14.47
