Among those who are affected are To Granheim, who stand at the Lillestrøm station.

There goes the fewer trains than normal. By the 8-time Thursday morning get all the space on the trains that go, but these are full of people.

I’m probably a half hour late in the day, I hope I reach the school, she says to Aftenposten.

She was warned by a friend about the strike. Not far from Granheim is streikevaktene. They reported calm conditions at the station.

According to Håkon Myhre, communications advisor at NSB, the situation is quite similar on the other lines that are affected.

the Message we have received from the drives is that it runs smoothly, but that there is limited space on the trains that go by. We have not received any messages about chaos. Nevertheless, we can not guarantee that the situation is like that in the days to come, he says to Aftenposten.

NSB: Check the app

In addition to the information also be posted in the apps and in the NSBs route planner.

A good advice is to look at the app which train set. If it goes long time between that train runs on some lines there may be great accumulation of people who will take the next train that comes, advises Myhre in NSB.

He says that the lines that now are affected, are also the lines that will be affected in the time of the strike persists.

– It is natural because lokførerne that is taken out in the strike are from Lillestrøm and Ski. This is why their place of work and the starting point for the job, ” he says.

the Airport will not be affected by the strike.

Little havoc on the bilveiene

If you are considering driving a car to work, you can check the car traffic in and around Oslo on the map below.

By 8.30-the time Thursday morning there is a longer queue than normal at E18 from Asker to Oslo. Also on the E6 to the east and to the north of Oslo is the queue. The same applies to E18 east of Oslo.

– the Queues start earlier than normal. It also appears that it takes longer before the queues will diminish, ” says trafikkoperatør Thale Eikeset by Vegtrafikksentralen at 8.45-the time Thursday morning.

No buses and reisegaranti

It will not be set up the bus for the train.

– As this is a legal conflict, this would have meant to break the rules of the game, ” explains Myhre.

He says that one may not be able to obtain a refund of the tickets you have purchased.

– Reisegarantien does not apply. Strike is regarded as the force majeure. So those who have purchased tickets will receive no refund, ” says kommunikasjonsrådgiveren.

No plans for escalation

Currently, there are no plans for escalation of the strike.

– We are going to consider the escalation in the face of streikekomiteen in the end of the week. We will then in that case ramp up about a week’s time. We need to come back to what happens, if there is a need for it over a week’s time, ” says forbundsleder Rolf Ringdal of the Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund (NLF) to Aftenposten.

Why streikes it

It was the clock 2.30 in the night that there was a breach in the negotiations between the LO State and Range. Therefore were 71 members in the Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund taken out in the strike.

the Arbitration stranded when the NSB did not want to tariffeste the level of education for lokomotivførerne.

LO State requires a national standard for competency requirements to a lokfører because education is not statutory.

We do not accept the dumping of lokførernes education. We must have a national standard. We must ensure that our members can carry passengers safely. This is why we are on strike, ” says forbundsleder Rolf Ringdal of the Norwegian Lokomotivmannsforbund (NLF) in a press release.

Bergen, Kristiansand and Trondheim are affected also

Also lokførere in Bergen, Kristiansand and Trondheim are taken out in strike, but only with one lokfører in each area, something that does not give the same consequences as in the Eastern regions.
