"A new partnership between Norway's national railway Vy, Denmark's DSB and Germany's Deutsche Bahn means there will be a direct line between Berlin and Oslo for the first time in 20 years. The new service will run a twice-daily round trip from summer 2028, through Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö and Gothenburg. Ticket prices and departure times will be shared at a later date."
"The full journey is expected to be: Oslo, Moss, Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg, Halden, Trollhättan, Gothenburg, Halmstad, Helsingborg, Lund, Malmö, Copenhagen Airport, Copenhagen H, Odense, Kolding, Padborg and Hamburg and, finally, Berlin."
""We are proud that, together with Vy and DB, we will soon be able to offer one of the longest train routes in Europe," Flemming Jensen, CEO of Danish rail operator DSB, said. "This is not something we can achieve on our own - strong rail connections in Europe depend on strong partnerships between railway companies.""
"Michael Peterson, CEO of DB Fernverkehr, Deutsche Bahn's long‑distance division, said that with high fuel prices, long-distance rail is a "good alternative to both cars and flights". "With this new international route from Berlin via Copenhagen to Oslo, we are connecting Northern Europe and three capital cities by train," he added."
