4K CABVIEW: Spring diversion on the Bergen Line

It's spring and our after noon express is being diverted via the Gjøvik Line. The reason of this diversion on the Bergen Line today is due to trackwork between Asker and Drammen. The whole section is almost completely renewed and will increase regularity and reduce the chance of signal failures etc.
This trip is a much welcome change in the usual workdays consisting of only Local service between Voss and Bergen. The massive drop in passenger due to the pandemic has us running on a minimum service where the noon and night train departures being cancelled.
In this video I have included the names and length of every tunnel we go trough, as well as adding other pieces of information on curiosities along the line.
Enjoy!

As an American living in the Willamette Valley of Oregon next to the UP main line, trains are a passion. I rode the train from Oslo to Bergen in the summer of 2004. I came across RailCowGirl’s fantastic videos and now they are a passion.

A lady I used to know, who came from Gaelic Scotland with no English speech, was a truck driver in World War Two. They had a clean-up stop at an English railway station where they used the Water Tower as a bathing pool, just as usual. Along came an Express and the water was gone on a few seconds into the scoop tank. ...

I have watched as far as the departure from Gol and have enjoyed it a lot. Loved the opening few minutes as you shot the arrival in Al from your coach seat, then we walked from the coach up to the locomotive. Your additional information on the video is a great addition to the narrative. It will be interesting to see this diversion going in this direction since several years ago we did it the other way from Oslo.
