The story of
Flytoget (Airport Express Train)
Construction on the dedicated Gardermoen Line began in 1994, and Flytoget started high-speed service alongside the airport's opening on October 8, 1998, reaching full capacity through the Romerike Tunnel in 1999. The line covers roughly 48 kilometers between Oslo S and Gardermoen, with the journey taking as little as 19 minutes at speeds up to 210 km/h. Some services extend west to Drammen via Lysaker and Sandvika, and the fleet is made up of GMB Class 71 electric trains built specifically for the route.
