Connection in Trondheim

Hi, me and my girlfriend would like to make the trip from Oslo to Bodo in July 2026.

We were lookin at the option of getting the night train from Oslo to Trondheim and then the daily train from Trondheim to Bodo.

Only problem is the connection is only 50 minutes and there is only one Trondheim-Bodo train per day.

Would you reckon the connection is safe enough? Or do we have a serious risk of being stranded in Trondheim for 24 hours?

On one hand these seem to be 2 trains kinda made for each other and I would therefore imagine they may wait one another. On the other hand the refund policy sets a 60 minutes timeframe for the delay, for these 2 lines only (all the rest is 30 minutes), which they say you have to consider when planning your trip.

Thank you in advance for any help 

Have a good travelling year!

The timetable for July are not published yet on ENTUR. Parts of the line north of Trondheim are currently closed anyway due to a massive landslide last year and will not reopen until June (if not later). Replacement busses are running on a different schedule.

Normally, there is also a night train between Trondheim and Bodoe but that one is cancelled until further notice due to the reason above + a serious shortage of rolling stock.

Check timetables closer to your travel date (1-2 months before). I’d advise you to visit Trondheim anyway. It’s a cool place to stay.


Thank you very much for your help. 

I saw about the bus replacement for the first part of the trip and the schedule that is found on the SJ Nord website comprising the bus is listed as valid through December 2026, so I don’t think there will be news on that front.

We’ll ponder the option of staying a day in Trondheim, thank you for the advice!
