Due to the logistics of getting so many members of the railway press corps to Oslo for this event, it doesn’t actually kick off until noon today, which has meant I’ve had a free morning to wander around the city centre and get a few pictures. Naturally, as my hotel is right next to it, the railway station was my first port of call. The building is a fascinating mix of old and new. The old building dates from 1882. It’s been kept and the concourse turned into this very elegant and attractive dining and bar area;

There 19 platforms at the station with services right across Norway. These old commuter trains caught my eye. The oldest I’ve seen dates from 1970 whilst the most modern is from 1992.

The interiors look rather dated too…

Almost all services are EMU operated, expect for this one, the 09:25 to Stavanger operated by Go-Ahead. Not for much longer, apparently. It’s going to be stopped soon as it’s losing money.

Right, it’s time to go and do some work. See you later…

I’ve a small favour to ask…
