THE Norwegian Railway Directorate is undertaking a review of the country’s night train services as Norske Tog’s current fleet of 20 sleeper coaches become due for replacement.
The current fleet of 20 WLAB2 sleeping cars was delivered from 1986 and is due to be replaced in the next five to eight years. The directorate says a new fleet would take four to five years to deliver. The coaches, which each have 15 two-bed cabins, are currently used for overnight Oslo – Stavanger, Oslo – Bergen, Oslo – Trondheim and Trondheim – Bodø services.
