With the FLIRT Nordic Express, abbreviated as FLIRTNEX, a new era of travel begins in Norway. Through a sophisticated system of combinable car types, train operators can create customised offerings for various routes and the individual needs of travelers. The combination of flexibility and numerous comfortable features makes the FLIRTNEX the top choice for travel in the Far North.
The various car types of the FLIRTNEX are designed to be combined in numerous configurations. This flexibility allows for long-distance travel with high capacity, as well as comfortable overnight stays in sleeper cars with a cosy atmosphere in the onboard bistro.
Flexible Use
The FLIRTNEX can be adapted to the requirements of the different routes between Oslo and Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Bodø. Depending on the demand, the long-distance trains can be operated either in a high-capacity configuration with up to 542 seats or as a shorter version with an additional cargo car. For particularly long journeys, there is also a comfortable overnight train option available. In all variations, the FLIRTNEX stands out for its barrier-free accessibility, high comfort, ample space for movement and luggage.
Flexible Routes
The trains are technically designed to operate on the Swedish or Danish railway networks as well. Therefore, connections to Stockholm or Copenhagen are also possible in the future.
Flexible Propulsion Technologies
The FLIRTNEX can also be equipped with various propulsion technologies. With the diesel-electric PowerHead, it can bridge non-electrified sections of the track.

The various car types of the FLIRTNEX offer meticulously designed elements down to the smallest detail. These include flexible sleeping compartments and innovative reclining seats, as well as a cosy onboard bistro and creatively designed family compartments. This makes travelling an unforgettable experience.
Bistro with a Personal Touch
The onboard bistro exudes an inviting atmosphere. The car is designed in elegant Scandinavian style and is oriented towards efficient self-service. In addition, the Comfort Class cars have their own lounge where long-distance travelers can dine and feel at home.
Sleeping, Playing, Working
The FLIRTNEX also offers a wide range of sleeper cars with 2-bed and 4-bed compartments, some of which are wheelchair-accessible. The 2-bed compartments, in particular, provide a lot of privacy and come with their own vanity unit. What's especially clever is that during the day, the sleeper compartments can be transformed into fully enclosed seating areas for families and business travellers, providing ample space for luggage as well.
Reclining Seats for Extra Comfort
The Comfort Class of the new trains offers generous seat spacing. Travellers in the newly designed reclining seats can relax as if they were in the business class of an airplane. The legrest can be raised comfortably, and the backrest can be reclined far back.
For Large Families and Little Vikings
Another highlight is the family compartment. It's a playground on rails, featuring a model of a Viking ship that invites children to slide, play, and stretch out. This ensures that children are never bored even during long journeys.
