To Stockholm
A 7.30am train from Oslo to Stockholm – some rather quaint and elderly Swedish Railway carriages – big windows you could drop down and a loco hauled train. Seemed rather odd for an international service but then the Norwegians and the Swedes have a famously arms-length relationship. Lots of lakes on the Norwegian side of the border – picturesque as ever – pity about the number of trees between the track and the water sometimes. Southern Sweden quite flat. Rail entry into Stockholm crosses the harbour on a low bridge – suddenly spectacular.
