Train traffic on Bohusbanan Göteborg-Ytterby is completely set during the day due to a fire in a technical buildings during the night of Saturday, when all the technology was eliminated.
Even Alependeln between Gothenburg and Alvangen is set. Only one in five trains go as planned on the route Gothenburg-Trollhättan, other trains turn of Trollhattan Alvangen and replaced by buses.
The technology of the switches on the tracks will need to be changed manually, and it can take weeks.
The Finnish Transport Agency has set up a crisis team and at lunchtime a new decision at lunchtime on how traffic should continue.
