    All trains halted when the mobile network failed, even though Bane NOR's own phone system worked

    • All trains drove slowly to the nearest station and stayed there until the mobile network worked again.
    • Bane NOR's own phone system worked, and the traffic controller could talk to the drivers. But police and the public use the mobile network to warn about people or dangers on the tracks, and those warnings could not get through.
