Due to an acute disruption, SBB rail traffic is suspended between Zurich Hardbrücke and Zurich Oerlikon restricted for a good 2 hours.
The SBB cites a contact line fault as the reason.
Passengers on two trains were blocked for two hours.
For reasons that are still unclear, a contact line defect occurred between Zurich-Hardbrücke and Zurich-Oerlikon at around 7:40 a.m. As a result, the power went out in one section and six trains were no longer able to continue.
Legend:
For the passengers on two affected trains, the disruption was a test of patience. They were stuck.

In the meantime, three trains were able to continue running and passengers were able to get off one train. Two trains were blocked for a long time. They are currently being towed by SBB fire and rescue trains to Zurich-Oerlikon and Zurich-Altstetten. The specialist services are on duty to repair the defective contact line. The disruption lasts until at least 11 a.m.
