We were running to catch the next train so we would not have to wait. Well, we made it. I can tell you that it was not crowded, and we were there on a Wednesday morning. Have no idea if it is always like that. If it is, then I would be a regular here.

Quick business trip to Oslo - I had a couple of hours free, and unfortunately, our conference hotel…read morewas located way above the town. On the plus side, we were within a 15 minute walk to the nearest train stop that took us directly down town. After navigating a terrifying slip and slide walk down a massive icy hill in the middle of a small blizzard, we had just a few minutes wait until the next train came. We bought our train tickets at the hotel, so that was convenient. And apparently using the tickets was on the honor system! We figured out that once you get on the train, there is a scanner that you flash your ticket with. But I didn't see a single person do it except a few stupid tourists like us. Kudos for making it fairly easy to navigate the system.

You can always try to sign in to their wifi, but most likely it will just be a waste of time and won't work anyway. If you do manage, they want your e-mail, phone number, area code (come on!) and need you to create an account.

Also, this machine is right in front of the doors, so if somebody opens then you will feel a strong draught, and there is nothing you can do if you don't want to lose a queue.

There are two entrances that bring you to different roads and can save you time from walking around the whole station. The machines to buy tickets are near the main entrance.
