Norges Statsbaner - NSB (tel: 8150 0888; website: www.nsb.no) is the national rail provider, operating the local and long-distance services from Oslo. Trains are generally clean and punctual. Catering service is minimal, so travellers are advised to bring their own food and drink if embarking on a lengthy trip. Speeds away from the immediate Oslo area are low, due to difficult terrain. Oslo S station or Oslo Central (tel: 8150 0888), located on Jerbanetorget, is the terminus for long-distance routes. Facilities such as cafes, a bar and shops are available at this station. Local commuter trains operate both from here and the Nationaltheatret T-Bane (Underground) station, located at Karl Johans Gate.

Rail services: The Dovre Line connects Oslo with Trondheim. The Bergen Line goes from Oslo to Bergen, along Northern Europe's highest railway, while the Southern Line runs from Oslo to Stavanger along the south coast. Trains to Copenhagen (via Gothenburg) leave three times daily. From there, it is possible for travellers to get a train to London via the ferry from Ostend, Belgium. Trains also run to Hamburg and direct to Stockholm.
