Passengers in Zealand are sent by rail replacement bus: 'It's bullshit'

Passengers in Zealand are being sent on replacement buses: 'It's a load of crap'

An extensive track work project has been delayed due to bad weather, so passengers on West Zealand now have to take replacement buses.

The wheels of the replacement bus keep turning, turning, turning. And this time it's commuters and other travelers in Central and West Zealand who have to forget about rail transport and instead board a bus.

An extensive track work project was supposed to have been completed this Monday morning, but that has not been possible.

Therefore, replacement buses are running between Ringsted and Slagelse – at least until 5 p.m. Monday.

One of the passengers affected by the changes is Steen Christensen. He got up on the train from Fredericia to Slagelse, where he then had to wait three-quarters of an hour for a replacement bus:

- It's bloody annoying, if I may say so. We pay and reserve our tickets, and then there's chaos. I actually think they're doing what they can. But you'd wish they'd practice a bit more, he says.

Bad weather is the reason for replacement buses

It's last night's bad weather that has prevented Banedanmark from completing the work on time.

Peter Rasmussen is another of those who got stuck at Slagelse Station and had to take a replacement bus onward:

- It's a load of crap, and I'm glad I have some colleagues who cover for me instead, he says.

DSB states that from 9 a.m. they had 23 buses running, but that some waiting time can be expected.
