A fire in a relay station near Aarup on the island of Funen caused signal failures between Middelfart and Odense, leading to significant disruptions in Danish train traffic. Initially, regional services between Fredericia and Odense were suspended and replaced by buses, while international services to Hamburg experienced reduced speeds.

As the situation progressed, Banedanmark indicated that the impact on rail traffic could persist for several weeks. While InterCityLyn and international trains continued to operate, passengers faced ongoing delays. Specific service changes included the suspension of direct InterCity trains between Odense and Esbjerg, requiring transfers in Fredericia.
