Train traffic stopped after truck collision in Kungsbacka - replacement buses are deployed

It was at 15.55 that train traffic was stopped after a truck drove into a viaduct in Kungsbacka. No trains were allowed to pass the Viaduct until it has been inspected, announced Hallandstrafiken.

The viaduct was inspected at 5 p.m. and according to the inspector at the scene, train traffic has been shut down unnecessarily.

Although the trains are running again, several departures are cancelled, and consequential delays are expected. Due to this, replacement buses will continue to run between Gothenburg and Varberg.

According to a traveler who contacted SVT, travelers in Varberg have received information that replacement buses have not been ordered and that they can take a local bus between Åsa and Kungsbacka.

The stoppage in train traffic has affected Öresundståg and SJ's express train between Gothenburg and Malmö as well as commuter traffic with Västtågen.
