The authority introduced a new telephone system to manage train traffic in March. Since then, 230 incidents have been reported.
In those incidents, employees report, among other things, that calls to the police do not connect, that calls are disconnected when trains need to be stopped, and that the system restarts itself.
Thomas Andersson, department head at the Swedish Transport Administration, tells SVT that a "very small part" of the calls have shortcomings and that the agency is taking the situation seriously.
All emergency calls have been answered eventually. There were slight delays on some of them. It is safe to travel by train.
