Norwegian Trams- Oslo

Oslo is a beautiful city situated at the northern tip of the Oslo Fjord. The tramway has an urban network, which is a mix of street running, suburban reservations and light rail on reserved tracks and private rights of way, as you will see on this programme. Ruter is the company responsible for the coordination of public transport in Oslo. The tramway is called 'trikken' in Norwegian, which is short for 'elektrikken' - 'the electric'. The first electric trams ran in Oslo in 1894 from the city centre to Majorstuen, which is where the Tramway Museum is situated in the former tram depot. The tramway fleet at the time of filming in June 2016 was made up of 72 cars owned by Oslo Vognselskap AS. All Oslo trams are painted in a two-tone blue livery. We have also included the buses on this programme, as they will interact with the trams at a number of locations. The city buses are in an all-over red livery and the regional buses are in an all-over lime green livery all carrying the Ruter fleet names.
