Bane Nor did error correction on the Folloban until the last second – had to say no to test trips

The Follobanen was to be tested to a “minimum,” emails between Bane Nor and Vy show. When Vy offered several trips with a higher load on the opening weekend, Bane Nor had to say no.

Not everything went smoothly in the days leading up to the opening of Follobanen, Norway’s most expensive transport project, at NOK 36.8 billion.

And when it opened, the track had to be closed after a short time. The cause was fire and overheating the backflow systemthe backflow systemFor a train to operate, it must receive current flowing in a circuit, i.e. in a circle. The train gets its power from a transformer, via cables that run above the train. The locomotive draws power from the current in the motor and sends the current back to the transformer via return lines.. The track is still closed.
