Train traffic on several Krösatågen lines in Småland and Östergötland has been halted for the entire weekend due to the heatwave.
Trafikverket closed the tracks on the Nässjö-Vetlanda and Värnamo-Halmstad routes from lunchtime on Friday. The line between Linköping and Västervik/Kalmar is also closed.
The reason is the risk of sun kinks forming on the rails. The stop lasts the entire weekend until Monday morning.
Trains are replaced by buses during this time. There is a risk that the closure may be extended according to Jönköpings Länstrafik.
