It's been reported that the automated system had failed, so trains were being routed and instructed manually.

In Oslo, Norway, we have train signaling errors all the time it feels like. It leads to a lot of delays and things. But I think that when these systems are not working, it is better to slow down everything even going as far as to put some trains on hold for some time, to avoid human errors in manual instruction and routing leading to crashes and deaths.

Isn't speed under verbal authorization limited to like 30-40 km/h?
