A power failure stopped all traffic to and from Gothenburg Central Station on Friday afternoon. The stop occurred according to local media at 14 o'clock, but was over in about an hour.

According to the Swedish Transport Administration's website, the stop has caused delays in train traffic.

The exact cause of the interruption was still unclear at 15 o'clock.

One has not actually localized the fault, but the power is on again, said Rickard Ruhngård, press communicator at the Swedish Transport Administration, to Göteborgs-Posten.
