- The most annoying thing is when they cancel the train and say that there will be replacement buses.

And then no bus comes.

I often think about moving from Österlen, sighs Pascal Bjerrehus.

He is one of several refined train passengers that SVT runs on in the morning rush.

They all tell the same thing: constant delays and quite often completely canceled trains.

- It is tedious.

I often arrive late and get a lot of absences.

There is a risk that it will affect both the grades and my CSN compensation, says high school student Gwen David who travels between Skurup and Ystad every day.

Trains are set to correct the timetable

Many of the track's problems are typical of single-track railways, for example, it is common for already late trains to be completely blown off on Österlen.

This is to "correct" the timetable and prevent even greater - and more expensive - delays elsewhere in the railway network, says Göran Holmberg, operations coordinator at the Swedish Transport Administration.

Railway not tree secured

Skånetrafiken often cancels because it is windy, especially on the stage Ystad-Simrishamn which has not been tree-secured.

The risk of falling trees is considered too high when it recovers.

According to Göran Holmberg's notes, 888 departures between Malmö and Simrishamn were canceled in whole or in part during the last twelve-month period - and 818 departures in the opposite direction.

This gives an average of a total of 4.67 canceled departures per day during the period.

The figure only applies to "emergency canceled" departures, not periods when traffic was down due to planned track work.
