TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Local Service run with rain and floods

Follow

This fall and winter has been a very wet experience here in western Norway. The Bergen line has had several service disruptions due to flooding and signaling problems because of severe rain, high water and floods.

Between about 2km before Evanger there was a temporary speed reduction because the river had eroded the trackbed. The speed normally 80km/h was reduced to 40km/h.

12:50 Warning of temporary speed reduction signal
13:41 Temporary speed reduction segment start signal
13:52 Temporary speed reduction lifted signal

The line men worked hard to keep the disruption at a minimum.

The line is serviced by the Class 69 trains. These train sets will be replaced by the Stadler FLIRT Class 75B throughout 2018. A much needed and wanted upgrade, both for us who work on the train and passengers.

The Local Service between Voss and Bergen stop at:
0:00 Voss
5:32 Bulken
15:45 Evanger
24:20 Bolstadøyri
31:00 Dale
37:45 Stanghelle
