Trains across Funen and Zealand return to schedule after wire repair

Train services between Copenhagen, Odense, and Fredericia returned to normal at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Trains between Copenhagen Airport and Slagelse are also running normally. Repair crews fixed damaged overhead wires near Sorø. This update was confirmed by rail manager Banedanmark and passenger operator DSB.

Banedanmark warned that minor delays could still happen today. Passengers should check the Rejseplanen app before traveling. The damage caused major delays starting at noon on Monday. Repair work covered the section between Ringsted and Slagelse. A support cable fell and damaged nearby power equipment. Banedanmark maintenance director Nicolai Sigsgaard said repairs were complex.

Passengers delayed over 30 minutes can claim compensation from DSB. A 30-minute delay qualifies for a new ticket or half refund. An hour delay brings a 75 percent refund plus food compensation. Delays exceeding 90 minutes earn a full ticket refund. DSB paid 67 million DKK in compensation during early 2026. This reporting comes from news outlet CPH Post.
