The derailment of a freight train on August 10, 2023 caused much more serious damage than initially assumed. As a result, the repair work is taking far longer than originally expected. From the timetable change on December 10, 2023, capacities for freight transport will be increased during the week and for passenger transport on weekends. SBB regularly informs the media about the status of the work.
