The Gamle Vossebane is a museum railway situated near Bergen in Norway. This railway line runs from Midtun, passes through Arna, and ends at Garnes. It offers a unique opportunity to experience a piece of Norwegian railway history.

Establishment of the Gamle Vossebane

The Gamle Vossebane was established on the Midtun– Arna –Garnes section of the Bergenbahn. This section was no longer used for passenger traffic by the Norges Statsbaner after the construction of the 7.8 km long Ulrikstunnel through the Ulriken in 1964. This change in use has allowed the railway line to be preserved and enjoyed by visitors today.

Operation of the Museum Railway

The museum railway is operated by the Norsk Jernbaneklubb (NJB). During the summer, the NJB operates regular museum trains on the 18 km long route between Garnes and Midtun. This offers tourists a unique and historical journey through the beautiful Norwegian landscape.

    The Old Voss Line (Gamle Vossebanen) in Bergen, Norway, offers visitors a journey through railway history. This museum, set along a historic railway route, provides an opportunity to experience vintage train travel and explore Norway's transportation past. Visitors appreciate the scenic route, which showcases beautiful landscapes between Bergen and Voss. The museum features restored trains and stations, allowing guests to step back in time. While many enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere and the chance to ride in old carriages, some visitors note that the experience can be brief and may not have extensive exhibits beyond the train ride itself. The museum is particularly appealing to train enthusiasts and families looking for a unique outing. However, those seeking a more comprehensive museum experience with detailed historical information might find it somewhat limited. The Old Voss Line is generally well-maintained, but some visitors mention that more frequent departures or longer operating hours would enhance the experience.
