You will need a great deal of patience if you have plans to cross the Storebelt by train today.

A signaling system has failed at Nyborg, preventing trains from running between Odense and Korsør.

DSB has deployed buses on the line, but there are not enough to meet demand.

- There are too few buses at the moment compared to the demand, but we are trying to get more, the press officer says.

Photos from Korsør Station show that a large number of passengers are waiting. According to DSB's press officer, there are around 400 passengers.

The latest update is that trains can resume service from 2 PM. Earlier in the day, the expected resumption was 11 AM.

Sund and Bælt are responsible for restoring the signaling system.

Looking for more buses

-----------------------

DSB reports that 13 buses have been deployed on the line between Odense and Korsør.

- When the bus driver has the opportunity to recruit more drivers, more buses will come, the press officer says.

The plan is to add three more buses once they have finished their rounds around Skanderborg. There was an earlier collision there, requiring the deployment of additional buses.

At the same time, DSB believes that there are more passengers than usual today due to the Aarhus-Copenhagen bike race.

Delays could be significant today, and therefore DSB's travel time guarantee comes into effect, where you can claim compensation. You can read more about it here (https://www.dsb.dk/find-produkter-og-services/dsb-rejsetidsgaranti/dsb-basis-rejsetidsgaranti/).
