Flawed Signal System Halts Trains Between Aarhus and Randers ⚡️
An issue with Banedanmark's new signaling system has caused all trains running between Aarhus and Randers to grind to a halt this Monday morning, according to DSB. Rail replacement buses have been ordered, but sourcing them has proven difficult. A replacement bus is expected to arrive in Randers by 6:30 AM and in Aarhus at 7 AM. Normal services might resume as soon as 8 AM, but passengers are advised to check their journey planner for potential delays.
Danes Express More Concern Regarding Security Over Climate Crisis 💡

It appears that the public's focus on national security has never been this heightened, even going back to a time before polling existed.
Decline in Reckless Driving Charges After Implementation of Stricter Laws 🚗

In 2022, only 876 charges were made compared to 1,299 in the previous year. The new legislation has made it possible for police to confiscate a vehicle even if the driver is not the owner.
