NSB BM72
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NSB BM72 is one of the two types of electric multiple unit which is used by NSB for commuter traffic around Oslo and on Jærbanen between Stavanger and Sandnes. It was purchased as the next generation of commuter trains to replace some of the older NSB BM69 trainsets. Introduction of this class started in 2002.
A BM72 train consists of four cars. Like other commuter trains the carriage has five abreast seating. The windows on a BM72 are considerably larger than those on the BM69 trains. All the 36 trains were manufactured by Ansaldobreda.
