Possible delay in the delivery of Business Express Packages in February 2025 due to changes in commercial flight schedules

During the period from January 6th to February 20th, 2025, there are a few changes in the commercial flight schedules that will affect the delivery of Business Express Packages:

  • To Haugesund (postal codes 4134, 4146, 4200-4299, 5400-5599, 5626-5629, 5750-5799), we cannot guarantee the delivery of Business Express Package according to the planned schedule from Central and Northern Norway (postal codes 6000-9999) on Thursday, February 6th, 2025, and Wednesday, February 12th, 2025. The time guarantee is suspended for deliveries on the mentioned days and routes.
  • To Kristiansand (postal codes 4500-4999), we cannot guarantee the delivery of Business Express Package according to the planned schedule from Central and Northern Norway (postal codes 6000-9999) on Thursday, February 20th, 2025. The time guarantee is suspended for deliveries on the mentioned day and route.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience these changes may cause our customers.

Dovre Line Closed for an Extended Period

The Dovre Line was closed a couple of weeks ago due to instability with a railway bridge near Otta. The work to repair the damage is more extensive than previously thought, which means the Dovre Line is expected to remain closed until around Easter.

 

We are back to the same contingency solutions that were implemented when the Randklev Bridge kept the Dovre Line closed for about 9 months from August 2023 to May 2024. This means that some trains will run over the Røros Line, but not with the same schedules as on the Dovre Line. Additionally, this causes delays northwards, as the routes from Oslo to Trondheim affect the times and capacity on the Nordland Line.

 

We therefore expect instability in the delivery of packages and goods to and from the areas south in Nordland (postal codes 8000-8299 and 8600-8999). In addition, it may cause delays for packages to the north in Nordland and Troms, 8300-8599 and 9000-9499. We use alternative train solutions as far as possible, but some delays are unavoidable.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Dovre Line Closed Due to Flooding

Water and ice at Otta Bridge caused the Dovre Line to be closed last night.

This results in delays of packages and goods between large parts of Southern Norway and Trøndelag, and the southern parts of Nordland. Since the Nordland Line is still closed, the areas in Helgeland and the Salten region are the most affected.

It is uncertain how long the Dovre Line will be closed, and it is unclear to what extent and with what capacity trains will be set up on the Røros Line. We are trying as far as possible to set up alternative transport.

Delays of packages and goods must be expected primarily between the following postal codes:

  • 0001-7999 to and from 8000-8299, 8600-8999 for both packages and goods.
  • 6000-6699, 7000-7999 to and from 8400-8599, 9000-9499 for both packages and goods.
  • 0001-5999, 6700-6999 to and from 7000-7999 for both packages and goods.
  • 0001-5999, 6700-6999 to 8300-8599, 9000-9499 some packages that are normally sent via the Dovre/Nordland Line.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Challenging Weather and Road Conditions in Northern Norway

The Nordland Line is closed between Mo i Rana and Mosjøen. This means that packages and goods between Southern Norway and Mo i Rana and Fauske will be delayed. It will also cause delays for packages and goods to Northern Nordland and Troms.

Locally, there are also several places with challenging driving conditions, which may cause further delays in the distribution of letters, packages, and goods in Nordland and Troms. According to the current weather forecast, challenging driving conditions and delays are expected throughout the week.

We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers.

Consequences of the storm earlier this week

After the snowfall earlier this week, most roads and railway lines are open again. However, there is a backlog in production and transport, which means there will be delays to and from large parts of the country this week.

Additionally, the railway terminal at Alnabru has faced significant challenges, resulting in delays to large parts of the country, and it is still not back to normal operations.

The Bergen Line is still closed and will remain so until next week. This means there will be significant delays to and from Bergen throughout this week. We have arranged extra trucks throughout the week and will arrange more over the weekend. Extra production will take place over the weekend, and we are doing what we can to catch up as much as possible over the weekend, but there may still be delays into next week.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the weather this week.

Snow, Wind, and Difficult Driving Conditions

Heavy snow and wind are expected in many parts of Southern Norway over the next two days. Especially parts of Sørlandet and Østlandet are at risk. Up to 60 centimeters of snow is forecasted, and combined with strong winds, this will result in very difficult driving conditions.

With the weather forecasted, delays in truck and car traffic are to be expected, especially in the southern part of Southern Norway, but all traffic to and from Southern Norway may also be delayed. Locally, closed roads and challenging driving conditions will also cause delays. Train traffic will also be heavily affected by the weather conditions, and therefore transport to and from Northern Norway may also be delayed.

Since the storm will last for several days, there may be follow-up delays later in the week. Our customers should therefore expect delays for letters, packages, and goods this week, which we of course regret

Severe Weather in Western Norway

Wind and rainfall are causing a high risk of landslides in many places in Western Norway. Over 25 roads are closed on Monday morning. The areas southwest of Hardangerfjorden, Voss, and Sunnfjord are particularly affected. Several mountain passes between east and west are closed, or there is convoy driving.

Due to closed roads and difficult driving conditions, Posten Bring's transports will be affected in many places. This will cause delays for letters, packages, and goods in the areas hardest hit by the severe weather.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Severe Weather in Large Parts of Northern Norway

Severe weather with strong winds is affecting transport and distribution in and to and from Northern Norway. Particularly affected are Troms and Finnmark, and the northern parts of Nordland. Further south in Nordland is also impacted, and for instance, Saltfjellet was closed last night. This means there will be delays to and from many places in Northern Norway for letters, packages, and goods.

The weather is expected to improve over the weekend, but it will likely take a few days to catch up.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.
