Private Swedish operator Snälltåget is expanding its Nordic network with the launch of a new direct service between Malmö, Gothenburg and Oslo from June 15. The daily train strengthens rail links along this busy Scandinavian corridor and, crucially, connects with Snälltåget’s night train from Berlin and Hamburg, offering a seamless journey between continental Europe and Norway.
Southbound, the train departs Oslo S at 14.48, arriving in Malmö at 21.25. Northbound, it leaves Malmö at 06.38 and reaches Oslo at 13.16. Intermediate stops include Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg, Trollhättan, Varberg, Halmstad, Helsingborg and Lund. In the Gothenburg area, trains call at Mölndal and Gamlestaden rather than the central station, with easy onward connections by tram and commuter rail.
Comfort is central to the offer. Snälltåget’s popular restaurant carriage, “Krogen”, will be attached to the new service, and passengers can book private compartments – ideal for families or small groups travelling together. Seat reservations are always included.
Fares start from SEK 149 between Oslo and Malmö for a rebookable ticket, positioning the train competitively against other modes. Importantly, travellers from Berlin and Hamburg can book through to Gothenburg or Oslo in one transaction, simplifying international rail travel.
Ticket sales open today via Snälltåget’s website, marking another step in the operator’s steady expansion across Sweden, Denmark, Germany and beyond.
