Rauma railway in Andalsnes, Norway

[jaceyar]

Has anybody booked this railway on the day, independantly, not with the ship?

Worried that it'll be fully booked. The ship's trip is fully booked.

According to the Rauma website there are 2 morning tourist trains to Dombas departing at 07.39 and 09.00. They return from dombas at 12.09 and 14.09. Journey time 1hour 21mins

 

so thats it, one train a day at 9.00am. It is hardly likely that the ship will be there for the early train. :(

Thanks, I must say I thought the times were different when I looked. I'll check again.

We booked on a ships tour. We were bussed up and got the train back.

It's very easy to do it independently . The train terminus is just minutes from the ship.

I can see the advantage of the ships tour as you won't have nearly 2 hours to wait at Donbas for the return train. There seems very little to do there?

You are right. There's not much there.

It was nice to see the countryside from the bus on the way there as well as the train on the way back.

There are reserved carriages for the ships tour but there are plenty of other carriages for people going on their own.

We booked on the 10.21 return trip to Bjorli. Cost us 1000 nok but was a pleasant journey with good views.
