- The trains are closed from 00.30 at night until Saturday and then we work all Saturday day and all Sunday, says Jonas Wellberg at the Swedish Transport Administration to SVT Nyheter Småland.

According to him, the train traffic on the route will be running again on Monday morning.

Contact wires worn

During the time that train traffic is closed, buses will be deployed.

This according to the timetable shown on SJ's website.

According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the Älmhult-Hässleholm section in particular is heavily loaded and the overhead contact line is very worn.

The work of replacing the line began in 2021 and is expected to continue until 2026.
