In 2019, Vy was able to hit the table with the fact that there was a large offer week on the Bergensbanen and Vossebanen, and that there was an increase of 30 per cent in the train offer. \u00abOn the Bergen line, we increase to six daily departures. The offer provides an approximate two-hour frequency in the morning and afternoon “, a” proud executive vice president “, Arne Fosen, could say in a press release at the time. This is no longer the case. Vy proposes to reduce from six to four departures between Bergen and Oslo. This is because they believe there is a lack of passenger capacity when the summer is over. The Oslo – Bergen route is one of the busiest routes in Europe. On average, there are flights between the cities 18 times a day. Railway reform A politically approved reform from 2017 which includes measures where the operation of Norwegian railway lines will be put out to tender. On 1 April 2017, three new companies were established: Norske tog AS, which will own all train sets, Entur AS and Mantena AS. The distribution in the current system is now: – The Norwegian Railway Directorate has a national coordination responsibility and professional responsibility for coordinating the railway sector. – The Norwegian Railway Inspectorate is the safety authority, licensing authority and market monitoring body for the railway. it is responsible for operation, traffic management and maintenance. \u2013 Vy, Flytoget, Go Ahead Nordic, SJ Norway, CargoNet, Green Cargo and other operators run passenger and freight trains on the railway.\u2013 In addition, there are several companies that perform maintenance and renewal on the railway network on behalf of Bane NOR. Source: the government and major Norwegian encyclopedias – The opposite of what we need Holger Schlaupitz is head of the Nature Conservation Association, and train enthusiast. He thinks fewer departures are bad for passengers. – It is the opposite of what we need. Now there is a need to cut air traffic to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says Schlaupitz. Holger Schlaupitz of the Norwegian Society for Nature Conservation is not impressed by the reductions in departures between Bergen and Oslo. Photo: Naturvernforbundet He points out that despite the pandemic, both Oslo and Bergen airports have many travelers. In 2021, just under 2 million people traveled by plane between the two cities. Schlaupitz thinks this is a sign that there is a need for more train departures, not fewer. – It is actually time for Vy to invest, and try to get those passengers who may be on their way back to the plane, onto the train, says Schlaupitz. Vy states that travel habits are far lower than they were before the corona pandemic. Photo: Espen Hatlestad \/ news Meiner trains are the best way to travel Train passengers are also annoyed that there are fewer departures. – I do not think anything of that. I think we should have the departures we have today, says \u00c5ge Andersen. He lives in H\u00f8nefoss, and is a diligent user of the train to and from Austlandet, and other places. The 65-year-old is blind, and my train is the best way to travel longer distances in Norway. – Trains are environmentally friendly. In addition, you can buy something small in the caf\u00e9 trolley, put the seat back and take a rest, says Andersen. \u00c5ge Andersen hopes that Vy will continue with the departures himself when the holiday ends. Photo: Lidvard Sandven \/ news Does not have a passenger base How many departures there will be, depends on Vy and Jernbanedirektoratet, which negotiate this in August and September. Vy’s communications manager, \u00c5ge-Christoffer Lundeby, says that the travel habits of train passengers changed during the pandemic, and that it has not stabilized yet. \u00c5ge-Christoffer Lundeby in Vy thinks it is natural to reduce departures when the passenger base is low. Photo: Vy – We envisage that we will gradually increase to the level we had before the pandemic, but the basis is not there yet, says Lundeby. He agrees with the Nature Conservation Association that Vy must invest, but emphasizes that then there must also be enough passengers for it. – It is less environmentally friendly to drive many departures with few passengers, than to drive few departures with more passengers, says Lundeby. The Norwegian Railway Directorate, which negotiates with Vy, says they cannot increase the offer until the market demands it. Right now I think it is right to be on four departures, says communications director in the Norwegian Railway Directorate, Ruth H\u00f8yland J\u00f8nsrud.
