Wifi unstableLong journeyThe journey on the VY 17 from Oslo to Trondheim was fine overall, but there were a few things that could be improved. With a journey time of 6 hours and 38 minutes, the journey was long and there was little variety in the scenery, which made the journey a little monotonous. The seats were comfortable but not exceptional and the service on board was good, although the range of snacks and drinks could be a little more varied. The wifi was unstable, which made it a little difficult to use. Overall a solid journey, but with room for improvement.
