19 August 2023 at 14:47 Inserting a night train on the Rørosbanen Until the Dovrebanen opens again, a night train will be inserted between Trondheim and Oslo on the Rørosbanen. That is what SJ Norge writes in a press release. The Dovrebanen was closed after the railway bridge in Ringebu collapsed. The bridge was damaged by the large amounts of water in Lågen as a result of the extreme weather “Hans”. Information manager at SJ Norge, Hilde Lyng, says that they had planned to increase the capacity of the night trains during the autumn. – Until it is again possible to run trains on the Dovrebanen, it is important to us that our customers still have night train services between Trondheim and Oslo, says Lyng. The company leases trains and locomotives from Norske Tog. On Friday, they sent a request to rent a new diesel locomotive so that they can run the night trains on the Rørosbanen.
