The Oslo City Council will now consider building a major joint tunnel which will lead all railway and subway lines under the centre of the capital. This was decided at the Council's meeting on Wednesday
Both services are in need of more tunnel capacity, and earlier this year Communications Minister Magnhild Meltveit Kleppa announced that a new railway tunnel would be planned. The City's subway also needs more capacity, and it was therefore natural to decide to look into a joint project, rather than having to build two tunnels, says the City Council's communications councillor, Jøran Kallmyr.
