From Thursday at 19.30, the speed of the trains between Lund - Kävlinge - Helsingborg will be reduced to 70 kilometers per hour for safety reasons.
In total, this is a distance of just over seven kilometers.
- We have found faults on the rails after routine checks and when we analyzed the result, we have decided to reduce the speed with immediate effect.
It is unfortunate but it must be done, says Ola Malmberg, senior project manager at the Swedish Transport Administration, in the press release.
The work to rectify the errors will continue at night for several weeks.
- It will be over a longer period, over Christmas and New Year, definitely, Ola Malmberg tells P4 Malmöhus.
In addition to commuter train traffic, train traffic on the West Coast Line between Malmö and Gothenburg is affected.
