Journey Features
Good to Know
If you will be planning a Scandinavian rail itinerary and want to take this entire journey by daylight, then on Monday-Fridays, the departure times in this direction, are more comfortable than when travelling in the opposite direction from Oslo to Stockholm.
For most of the journey the train passes through a lovely, but not outstandingly beautiful landscape, but there are views over numerous lakes from both sides of the train.
