A signal system failure disrupted train service between Oslo Central Station and Nationaltheatret. The issue lasted approximately ten minutes during the afternoon rush.
Bane Nor press contact Olav Nordli confirmed the problem. He said technicians resolved the technical fault within five minutes.
Trains experienced ongoing delays even after the fix. The rail network needs time to restore normal operations, according to officials.
Some canceled trains remained out of service. Passengers faced extended wait times during the busy travel period.
Signal failures create immediate ripple effects across the rail network. Even brief technical issues can disrupt schedules for hours as systems reset and trains return to their proper positions.
Commuters between Oslo's major stations should expect residual delays. Service typically normalizes gradually following such incidents.
