Have anyone managed to find the details of what went wrong in #Copenhagen yesterday? Apparently some overhead wires (catenary?) were torn down, but how could it render all of Copenhagen (luckily with the exception of CPH, so we could escape to our destination Malmö) with no traffic for at least 10 hours? Also, apparently 30 train sets (potentially) damaged? #train #bahnbubble @jon @interrailinfosvenska

@@hgb@oslo.town Ser det er en del info (og spekulasjoner) i dansk presse, men har kun funnet ting bak betalingsmur, så potensielt litt vanskelig å vite. (Har ikke testet om reader-mode trikset fungerer på noen av de, men det er kanskje verdt et forsøk?)

@hgb@oslo.town @jon@gruene.social @interrailinfosvenska@mastodonsweden.se DR now has an article stating that Banedanmark thinks they found the issue: A failed catenary mount west of Slagelse seems to have damaged pantographs which then caused damage later on. After the second such damage they pulled the plug. Article in Danish: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/fejl-paa-ophaeng-menes-vaere-skyld-i-lammet-togdrift-forstaa-hvorfor
