Passengers use railways because the service runs and it’s affordable. If you don’t run trains, people won’t use them. Fewer trains means a less-flexible timetable and people need to be able to know they have a regular service. The Norwegian Government should not allow this reduction to take place based on a profit-driven service. The UK is far from perfect with its railway system but standards and levels of service are set out as minimums before private companies are allowed to take over a franchise operation. The Norwegian government should insist on a minimum of six departures per day – possibly even more if it can work on the single line.
