Today I will be going back to Sweden, I will travel by train from Voss to Bergen, then take a flight to Stockholm.
Voss in the morning
Stanghelle
Between Voss and Bergen, there are many more stations and more frequent services than between Voss and Hønefoss, so it is possible to visit more places during the day
The line between Bergen and Voss is called Vossebanen, and it opened in 1883 as a narrow-gauge railway, with no connection further east of Voss at the time. The line was extended to Hønefoss and converted to standard gauge in 1909.
Between Stanghelle and Trengereid stations, the railway runs along the Sørfjorden (Osterøy).
Today is also a beautiful summer day with clear blue sky. Unfortunately, there are not many freight trains here on Saturdays; there is only one today
No camping
Long distance train from Olso to Begen
When you are living in the fjords, you have to be prepared that the sun is not always shining on your side.
Visiting Dale station
Some long distance day and night trains are stopping here
Dale is famous for its wool sweaters and outdoor jackets textile industry
Textile workers
Arriving at Trengreid
There is a double track here, one is in a tunnel. Unfortunately the only freight train today was in the tunnel when I reached this station, so I missed it.
I will have to enjoy the scenery instead
Tesla has been top top-selling car in Norway for the past years
Not allowed to enter on this side of the building
Part of the platform is located inside the tunnel, just like at the Cinque Terre
Visiting Vaksdal station
Vaksdal is a town in Vaksdal Municipality in Vestland, Norway. The city is located by Sørfjorden in the southwest of the municipality, and had 959 inhabitants as of 1 January 2023. Vaksdal, like the municipal center Dale, is an old industrial site. At the end of the 19th century, Vaksdal Mill was established in Vaksdal due to access to power from nearby waterfalls. The waterfall was first harnessed to power the mill machinery, and then a traditional power plant was established. Vaksdal Mill was, at the time, the largest mill facility in Northern Europe.

Arna station
Between Arna and Bergen there are even more frequent services
Bergen
Taking the light rail to Bergen airport
It's a convenient ride to the airport
A snack before the flight
Bergen-Stockholm flight is operated with this Canadair Bombardier plane
In Stockholm, there is a bus from the plane to the terminal
I'm back home now. Still light at night, as it is practically the midninght sun times
