On Thursday afternoon, about ten wagons of a 600-meter freight train derailed in the municipality of Bollebygd.
According to initial forecasts from the Swedish Transport Administration, it could take around two weeks to clear and restore the accident site.
On Friday morning, a few SJ trains from Gothenburg could be rerouted via Öxnered; however, that will not be possible for the rest of Friday.
During the day we will have to run partial routes instead. We will run to Borås and Alingsås and try to get replacement traffic to and from Gothenburg, says Felicia Palombo Daging at SJ's press service.
Trains between Stockholm and Gothenburg had already been diverted from their normal route because of track work on the Western Main Line.
We have also had reduced traffic because of this work, says Felicia Palombo Daging.
But I cannot currently say which additional trains will be canceled during the day or this weekend, so it is very important that our travelers keep track of their trips and the information we provide.
