Direct Connection Established: Oslo and Malmö Now Directly Connected via Service
Get ready for an exciting travel experience this summer, as Vy Tog, Norway's railway operator, is set to launch a new direct train service between Oslo and Malmo. This new service, which will be an extension of the existing service between Oslo and Gothenburg, is expected to commence operations on July 14th and run until August 11th, with two daily departures.
This development comes as good news for travellers seeking new travel options, as stated by Erik Røhne, Vy Tog's Executive Director. Mr. Røhne expressed his delight at the prospect of offering a summer train service, believing it will prove popular among passengers.
For those planning a night out in Malmo, there are five budget-friendly bars to check out, while for those seeking a fancy dinner date, there are five great restaurants to explore. When it's time to return to Oslo, travellers will find six cool and cheap(ish) places to grab a bite to eat in the Norwegian capital.
The new service will not only provide a convenient travel option for tourists but also make connections to Copenhagen and Hamburg easier from Oslo. This is particularly exciting as the return of the service between Oslo and Copenhagen is expected in the summer of 2025, with more details to be revealed later in the spring, as stated by Røhne.
The resumption of these services aligns with the anticipated return of normal train operations following reduced services in Eastern Norway due to rail yard work by Bane NOR, which affects train availability until the summer of 2025.
Tickets for the new service between Oslo and Malmo will go on sale in mid-April, so mark your calendars and start planning your trips! For those needing some inspiration, a guide for spending 24 hours in the Norwegian capital is available to help you make the most of your time in Oslo.
This new service is set to revolutionise travel between Norway and Sweden, offering a more sustainable and convenient alternative to air travel. So, whether you're a seasoned traveller or a first-timer, this summer promises to be an exciting time to explore the region by train.
