Train Cancellations in Southern Sweden Due to Heatwave

The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has decided to close a number of routes in Götaland between Wednesday and Friday when temperatures in the area are expected to reach between 30 and 34 degrees Celsius.

Trafikverket fears the high temperatures could cause sections of the tracks to buckle or shift, a phenomenon known as “sun kinks”.

If you plan to travel during the period on any of the cancelled routes, contact your train company where you have purchased your ticket for more information about your trip.
