NSB BM70
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NSB BM70 is a four-carriage electric multiple unit used by NSB for medium distance trains around Oslo. In particular they are used on Dovrebanen between Oslo and Lillehammer, on Vestfoldbanen and Gjøvikbanen.
The BM70s were delivered as "InterCity Express" trains in 1992 and provided premium service at a slightly higher cost. They were eventually branded as "Agenda" (the NSB term for medium distance services) trains. Some of the departures served by BM70s are very early morning "red-eye" services used by people with a long commute to Oslo. Therefore, there is a "quiet" section on the train where mobile phones and loud conversation are banned.
There were sixteen BM70s built, and all remain in service. The manufacturers were Duewag, ADtranz and Vst. Sundland.
