Norway’s railway operator is reducing train services by half due to the ongoing heatwave. The reduction in service is expected to cause significantly crowded conditions for passengers, particularly those travelling after the Norway-France football match on Friday. The extreme temperatures are impacting the railway infrastructure, necessitating the decreased capacity to ensure safety. Authorities anticipate particularly high demand following the sporting event, exacerbating the issue of overcrowding. Passengers are advised to prepare for delays and limited seating. The railway is monitoring the situation and will adjust services as needed based on temperature fluctuations. This measure prioritizes the stability of the tracks and the wellbeing of travellers during the heat.
