The Swedish transport administration: Very unusual with train accidents

"The Swedish transport administration: Very rare, train accidents"

"After tågkrocken in Helsingborg is still running traffic with a reduced capacity. The two tracks are still blocked."

"Collisions between passenger trains are very rare," says Kenneth Fridolin at the Dmv."

"the Forecast is that both the trains will be able to be moved and the traffic is open at 15."

"– an attempt was made at half past twelve to get off one train, then it has been a less hjulskada on the other train, " says Kenneth Fridolin, the head of the trafikledningsområde south at the Dmv."

"But after that the trains have been put in place in away must the tracks be inspected."

"– As you have seen so far have not seen any damage on the tracks, but you have to move the trains in order to see properly, " says Kenneth Fridolin."

"Tågkrocken between the two) occurred at the southern mouth at the Hub in Helsingborg on Thursday evening. One of the trains went into the side of the second train, where the two tracks go together. To two tracks of the four now blocked has caused problems for the commuters."

" Sweden is a junction where there is very much traffic, we have great commuting between Helsingborg, Malmö and Lund, and we need all four slots to run the normal traffic. And with that we lose traffic, we have reduced approximately to the half of the traffic."

"the Swedish transport administration estimates that the speed was not high, about 40 kilometers an hour. What the crash was due to is unclear. Train accidents is nothing that happens very often, " says Fridolin."

"– It is very unusual. Now I have been on the railroad for eight, nine years but I have never seen it."

"Several people complained of neck and back pain afterward, according to the emergency services, but none received serious injury."

"– It is jättetur and feels very good, then you must ensure that it does not occur again, " says Kenneth Fridolin."
