Train was very unhygienicUnfriendly staffTrain arrived lateThis train journey was very bad, it took 8 hours and 32 minutes and was operated by SJ Oslo Train.

Climate a little too cold in the trainThe train from Copenhagen to Oslo wasn't very full, so we were able to relax perfectly during the journey. The staff on board were friendly and had carried out a quick and uncomplicated ticket inspection. The train was very clean and the toilets were hygienic. However, it was a little too cold for me on the train. Otherwise, the seats were comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection.
