Train services between Stockholm and Uppsala have resumed after a stop caused by a power failure. Delays and cancellations affected commuter trains, long-distance trains, and Arlanda Express from 16:25. One passenger risked missing his favorite show due to the cold wait.
On December 12, 2025, a stop in train traffic between Stockholm and Uppsala occurred at 16:25. According to SL, it was due to a downed contact wire, while SJ cited a power failure. Commuter trains, long-distance trains, and Arlanda Express were affected, leading to major delays and cancellations.
Claes Nilsson, heading home from Uppsala, was stuck on a commuter train halted on a field outside Arlanda. “I'm sitting on an ice-cold train,” he says. He described the information as “catastrophically bad” and had to stand up as his legs went numb. Nilsson risked missing his Friday dinner and the SVT show “På spåret,” starting at 20:00. The atmosphere aboard was subdued, with passengers checking their phones.
Traffic resumed per SJ since 18:20, though some subsequent delays persisted. An earlier estimate at 17:35 suggested it would be back, but the later report confirms resumption after 18:20. No further details on damage or long-term effects were reported.
