Fallen Power Lines Cause Major Train Delays Across Zealand

Train travel on Zealand and between regions faces major delays until tomorrow morning.

A fallen overhead power line near Sorø is disrupting train traffic.

Banedanmark reported that repairs will take until at least 10:00 AM tomorrow.

Travelers should check Rejseplanen before leaving home.

Fewer trains are running between Ringsted and Slagelse.

DSB has deployed train buses on this route.

One train got stuck under the fallen wire near Sorø.

Crews had to evacuate all passengers from that train.

Intercity trains between Copenhagen and Esbjerg are still running.

However, passengers should expect longer travel times.

Trains can only use a single track on that section.

Another power line fell near Copenhagen Airport.

This secondary fault is causing minor delays and cancellations.

Banedanmark staff are working all night to fix the electrical lines.

The company is investigating why these wires keep falling down.

A similar incident happened on the same route on September 14.

This news was reported by Danish broadcaster DR.
