LATEST: Bane Nor is now reporting that there is a partial shutdown at Oslo S on Tuesday morning due to an earth fault at the station. – Certain trains run to and from Oslo S. We are working to correct the error. We recommend that you use other transport if you can, writes Bane Nor on its website at 7.35 on Tuesday morning. Bane Nor has no estimate of when the problem will be resolved, but a new update is expected at 8am. – We have crews out and working as quickly as we can to find and rectify the error, says Anne Sofie Kirkhusmo, press officer at Bane Nor. All trains that run via Oslo S are affected by the fault. Stops at other stations – As of now, we have managed to get the night train from Trondheim all the way to Oslo S, and are working on getting the train from Bergen, says the press officer to NTB. Trains from the west stop at Nationaltheatret station. – Since we have brought out one train now, we hope to bring out another. Our other trains stop at other stations until further notice, adds Kirkhusmo. These are all the train lines affected by the error: Asker – Kongsvinger, Kongsvingerbanen Drammen – Dal, Hovedbanen Drammen – Lillehammer, Dovrebanen Drammen – Oslo airport/Oslo Airport, Flytoget Kongsberg – Eidsvoll, Gardermobanen Oslo S – Bergen, Bergensbanen Oslo S – Gjøvik, Gjøvikbanen Oslo S – Jaren, Gjøvik Line Oslo S – Rakkestad, Østfold Line Eastern Line Oslo S – Ski, Follobanen Oslo S – Stavanger S, Sørlandsbanen Oslo S – Stockholm, Kongsvinger Line Oslo S – Trondheim S, Dovrebanen Oslo S – Halden – (Göteborg), Østfold Line western line Skien – Eidsvoll, Vestfold- and Gardermobanen Spikkestad – Lillestrøm, Hovedbanen Stabekk – Moss, Østfoldbanen western line Stabekk – Oslo Lufthavn/Oslo Airport, Flytoget Stabekk – Ski, Østfoldbanen Oslo S have struggled with earth faults throughout the night. The problems were first reported at half past five, and an hour later Bane Nor reported that the problem had been resolved. – The earth fault has come and gone a bit throughout the morning, and now it is unfortunately back. So we recommend that travelers use other transport if they can, says the press officer to news. – The information from Vy mangler Togpendler Dag Refshal from Fredrikstad was hit by the chaos on Tuesday morning when he was on his way from Fredrikstad to Oslo. – I get to work after a while, but I think the information from Vy is missing. On the platform in Fredrikstad, he was told that the train’s terminus was Ski. When the travelers arrived in Ski, they were told which trains they could take on. – Most people run over, because it’s a couple of minutes until the train is due to leave. But when we get on board there, the conductors are missing. So that train will then be cancelled. Train commuter Dag Refshal from Fredrikstad is affected by the train stop on Tuesday morning.

Then we will travelers more or less left to ourselves and the few messages that come over the public address system. This is what you are entitled to. Travelers who experience that their train is delayed or canceled are entitled to both alternative transport and a discount on the ticket. That’s what senior adviser at the Consumer Council, Thomas Iversen, says. – At the same time, very few people ask for a refund when the train does not run as it should, says Iversen. The Consumer Council also has a “train calculator” which makes it easy to find out what you are entitled to when the train does not run. – According to our calculations, Norwegian train passengers can miss out on up to NOK 100 million annually in refunds, says the senior adviser.
