A train with 160 passengers on board got stuck in the Lieråstunnel between Asker and Drammen in Norway on Thursday afternoon.

The train stopped in the middle of the tunnel, which is one mile long. The stop was due to a technical fault, according to Siv Egger Westin, who is the communications manager at the traffic company Vy.

After about half an hour, the train was able to continue its journey towards Drammen.

The train stop caused many cancelled trains and severe delays, reports NTB.
