Røros and Dovrebanen closed from Monday morning due to extreme rainfall warning.

From Monday, August 7, a red level warning was issued for extreme weather conditions. For safety reasons, Bane NOR is implementing a red alert on the Røros and Dovre lines on the Hamar-Støren section, as well as on the Rauma line. This means that the sections are closed.

Bane NOR also increases readiness in several sections and closely monitors the weather. Individual track sections may be closed at short notice.

The orange alert level has been put in place on the Eidsvoll-Hamar section, on the Spikkestadbanen and on the Bergensbanen via Hallingdal. Several other stretches in eastern Norway also have increased readiness (yellow). 

We also inform you that the Gjøvikbanen is closed on the Oslo S-Gjøvik section from Monday morning to Sunday 20 August due to planned works. 

We advise all travelers to follow Bane NOR's communications and stay informed of the situation. Here you can follow traffic reports!

A yellow or orange alert level has been introduced on many sections in eastern Norway.
