SL launched intensive testing on Thursday.Then, it was turned out that the escalators were in bad shape – even though the stations only worked for a year
"Amazingly Surprising"
– We were incredibly surprised by what we found. the escalator, we found it rusty and there was a lot of wear.
SL also opened an escalator that escaped and found the same problem
– This worried us and we found more escalators that have similar symptoms.
A total of 71 escalators were cut at the Stockholm and Stockholm Odenplan stations. "According to Per Hallberg, head of communications at traffic management in Stockholm, escalators Other stations do not have the same construction.
– Not exactly the same thing. These are just a year, in other stations we have older escalators. We will also look at other escalators, but these are not the ones that are currently a priority, says Per Hallberg.
– Unfortunately, we can not say how long this work will take. We have a supplier who is currently working on correcting the stairs that are not correct.
Travelers are advised to use subway or suburban stations nearby
– I do not want to wonder how long the work takes. We will come back to this when we have facts before us, "says Per Hallberg
Even SJ is Assigned
The stop also touches more than those who will be working in Stockholm at the same time. Since the SJ solution for the transportation of travelers affected by the renovation of the so-called means of transport is largely based on the commuter train, there are now other routes for those who will be traveling south of the capital.

– There are many stressed travelers who do not know not how they are going to happen. We are reinforcing the metro on the red line and recommend everyone to take the metro to the interior. Suss Forssman Thullberg, director of communication at SL
C is the company Otis who delivered the escalators after a purchase from the Swedish Transport Administration, but the CEO does not want to interview an interview, but refers to a press release.
– I can not comment more, it's an ongoing investigation, says Diego Garcia, CEO of Otis, at SVT News.
