making bergen-oslo reservations -
Best answer by rvdborgt
On entur.no you can see availability. There are no pass holder quota in Norway, so if seats are available, they can be booked.
Entur are quite good. I called them once on a Friday evening around 22:30, only had to wait a few minutes and then could make all my reservations for Norway, including tickets (with Interrail discount) for the Flåm line. Took about 25 minutes in total and cost less than 8€.
Interrail can normally also book Norwegian reservations but they charge a 2€ booking fee per person and train and then a 9€ postage fee because they can only issue Norwegian reservations on paper. In addition, Norwegian reservations are free of charge with a 1st class pass, but only if you book via Entur (by phone or at one of their 5 ticket offices).
Daft easy-if you had takenthe odd 2-3 mins to just read a little further:
there is a long listing on howtodo by yourself-and cheaper too by seewulf, who is currently also on holiday and mis=-using his pass to full extent.
Dear anna fra Sverige, who travelled on an gamla modell papper pass med dotter (but I think they are tilbaka hemmet now), gives all new posters here that link+more info.
For NO/VY etc; CALL (that is how people used fones long ago mostly) EnTur (the general NO agency that handles all things for contracted jernbaner=railways)
I have read most of the advice and want to do it online. I’m trying avoid having to make a phone call to Entur, as that is very expensive for me - one person has spend 10 euro trying to get through and no answer from them. So how do we do it ONLINE
If you want e-tickets for Norway you must call Entur.
You should be able to make an online reservation for Norway through DSB udland, but then the reservations are delivered by post. I don't know if anyone in the Community har tried this and I don't know which countries DSB send reservations to and what the delivery time is.
