Travel to Oslo in UnionsExpressen's deep and comfortable seats, enjoying wireless internet and power outlets, fine dining – and why not a glass of champagne..?
- We wanted something comfortable and stylish, inspired by Blue Train and Rovos Rail in South Africa and the Orient Express, according to John Wintherbo, one of the people behind the UnionsExpressen initiative.
In the train's elegant restaurant coach, there are no coffee machines or snack bars. Instead you can eat well and affordable from the à la carte menu and choose between excellent wines and champagnes. The most expensive main course is only 145 Swedish kroner, and breakfast and lunch is also served.
