-I recently took the direct connection from Gothenburg to Oslo on train VY1523 and absolutely loved it! The journey time was 3 hours and 36 minutes and everything went smoothly. The train was on time and had a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space for legs and luggage, which made the journey very pleasant. The friendly on-board staff, who were always helpful, were particularly commendable. The service on board was also excellent. The train café had a good selection of snacks, sandwiches and drinks, which were fresh and reasonably priced. The free wifi was stable and allowed me to stay productive during the journey. The direct connection between Gothenburg and Oslo is not only fast, but also incredibly comfortable. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to travel stress-free!
