28 November 2023 at 05:39 The cold causes delays on the Østfold line into Oslo S Four trains on line L2 Stabekk on the Østfold line are canceled on Tuesday morning. This is because Oslo S has fewer tracks in use and the trains have to run in a queue. There are fewer tracks in use because the cold causes problems on the rails, says press officer Gunnar Børseth in Bane Nor. At 08.30 work is still being done to fix the problem on the rails, says Bane Nor. – The cold makes it difficult, so we cannot say anything about when it will be fixed, says Børseth to news. The rails will probably have to be welded together. – Especially when the weather is cold, the metal contracts, and then the weld can break. It is difficult to run a train just over that rail break, says Børseth to news. He cannot say anything about how long the problem will persist. – We have people working on it. For the time being, the four trains are cancelled, and there will be a bit of rescheduling as to where the other trains enter Oslo S, says Børseth. Travelers must expect some delays, says Bane Nor.
