Train traffic resumes on one track in Palemonas after network failure

Train traffic in Palemonas, Lithuania, has partially resumed following a network failure that disrupted services. Infrastructure maintenance teams worked swiftly to clear the contact network from one of the tracks, allowing trains to resume movement along that line.

The incident impacted thirteen passenger trains operating on key routes, including the Vilnius-Kaunas-Vilnius and Kaunas-Šiauliai-Kaunas lines, as well as services to Mockava. While one track is now operational, the ongoing repair work on the second railway line means that short delays of up to 15 minutes may still occur for passengers.

LTG, the Lithuanian railway company, reported that repair work is actively underway at the site. The company stated that the second railway track is being prepared for traffic, indicating a full restoration of services is anticipated soon. Passengers are advised to expect potential minor disruptions as the situation is resolved.
