Fewer trains and longer travel times until 29 November

Banedanmark (the state authority for railways) announced on Friday evening in a press release that fewer trains will run between Copenhagen and Fredericia, and that the remaining trains will run at reduced speed. The cause is an extraordinary number of rail defects and a burnt-out technical cabin at Aarup on Funen. From Monday morning, Banedanmark is introducing speed restrictions on several sections of the country.

Banedanmark is also cancelling regional trains between Odense and Fredericia and replacing them with rail buses. The changes are expected to last until 29 November, when it will be assessed whether normal train services can be resumed. Transport Minister Karina Lorentzen Dehnhardt says that safety always comes first, and that it is both surprising and unfortunate to see problems on such a new line. TV SYD TV SYD
