In recent years, many new cars are introduced into NSB, the metro, and the tram. Although the main route in Norway (Oslo-Bergen/Christiansand) takes about 5 hours, it is still compatitive against airlines in its service. In the Oslo city area, the regulation of private cars is going on, so the tram has regained its position again. * Click a photo or a title to see the details of the train.

Oslo T-Bane Line 1	T-Bane Series 1000	T-Bane Series 3000
T-bane is the name for the subway/metro in Oslo. Since Oslo is a rather small city as a capitol, not so much carrying capacity is needed. Thus, cars are designed to be small, and normally one train consists of 3 cars. The western part of line 1 and 4 are rather classified into LRT. It has overhead power supplying system, comparing to the third-rail system in other lines. Trains change the source of the electricity in the juction stations.
Trikk (Tram) in Oslo	NSB Rolling Stocks
In the center of Oslo, there are only 2 tram lines, but they are spread both in the western side and in the eastern side. Mostly two types of cars are used: SL95 and SL79. Because of the mountainuous land and narrow roads, some lines take tricky routes.	NSB takes charge of most trains in Norway. Most rolling stocks are completely identical to other country's train, but El18 is designed in Switzerland and used in many countries.
