I am trying to book the train between Oslo and Bergen, and I’m presented with two very different options.

Both are listed as F4, and much prefer the 14:25p departure time, but I’m concerned about the following:

“Toget har ikke kafe, lekerom eller sykkelplasser.
Husk à ta med mat og drikke. De fleste setene har ikke bord.”

I know it doesn’t have a cafe and you gotta bring your own food. Does it mean the train is older?

Some reviews where users complain about seats and very small windows. Could it be associated with this type of train?

I’d appreciate your help understanding the differences.

  1. Its the same train my man. Just more expensive to travel early for some unknown reason.
    No cafe
    Bring your own water + food
    Most seats don’t have tables.

  2. My ticket would cost 1312kr (12:03-19:10)
    Using the Vy app.

  4. The difference is in the rolling stocks.

    One (with the café) is the classic Bergensbanen type of train, typically an EI18. The one you usually see in the pictures of the line, with a locomotive and different carriages that can detach, including that with the café inside.

    The other one (without café) is a different type of train (Class 74) that looks more like an anonymous regional train of fixed-consist.

    Edit: class 74, not class 73
