Rail traffic halted between Oslo and Lillestrøm after fire disrupts airport link
Rail traffic between Oslo S and Lillestrøm was halted on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, due to a fire near the tracks, affecting travel to and from Oslo Airport. According to Bane Nor, all trains between Oslo S and Lillestrøm were canceled, and buses were being arranged as alternatives. The Flytoget service set up a bus service from Oslo S to Gardermoen. "There are quite a few trains affected, so many buses need to be ordered," said Kaja Rydning Moen, press contact at Vy, to NRK. Earlier in the day, Bane Nor also reported train delays from Oslo and Gardermoen due to a track switch failure.
In Poland, a near-collision incident occurred near Kraków Zabłocie station when two trains, one operated by Koleje Małopolskie and the other by PKP Intercity, came close to each other due to a missed stop signal by a regional train driver.

No injuries were reported, and the infrastructure was not damaged. This is the second such incident in recent times, following a similar event near Trzebinia in August 2024. An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause.
