FLYTOGET, the Airport Express train is a Norwegian high-speed airport rail link connecting Oslo Airport, Gardermoen to Oslo Centraal Station. This is the only high-speed railway operated by Norwegian Railways, Vy, on a 64 kilometer line between Oslo Central Station and Oslo's Gardermoen Airport at speeds of up to 210 km/h (130 mph). Trains operate ever 10 minutes and covers the distance in 19 minutes. 
Seen in my video is a Flytoget 4-car EMU train entering Oslo Sentralstasjon (Oslo Central Station) on May 24, 2018 through the Oslo Tunnel - a double-track railway tunnel 3,632-metre (11,916 ft) long. The electric traction used in Norway is alternating current (AC) at 15 kilovolt (kV) and 16.7 hertz (Hz), and this system is also used in Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
Oslo Centraal Station is just a five-minutes stroll from the Opera House in the capital city Oslo.
At Oslo Central Station you can change to underground, bus or tram services if you intend to travel to other parts of the city.
