The brothers Ture and Tore Molin's property – incidentally their parents' home – is one of about 20 in the area in question that gets its electricity supply via the nearby railway.

Recently, the Swedish Transport Administration announced by letter that it was now over with it, and that electricity deliveries would cease after 30 September. Dagens Nyheter was the first to tell this, and SVT's publication about it all over the past weekend attracted a lot of attention and many reactions.

The Swedish Transport Administration's message after the media publications was that the authority did not intend to change its decision. But now they have finally rethought, something that Dagens Nyheter was also the first to tell.

"Not well handled"

Ulrika Honauer, head of the Swedish Transport Administration's department for railway maintenance, told DN that the authority will now investigate solutions that will allow the affected property owners to continue to live with access to electricity.

"This matter has not been handled well by us. We have simply been a bit proud, says the Swedish Transport Administration's press officer Bengt Olsson to SVT.
