Departures Where You Can Reserve a Bicycle Space
You can pre-book a space for your bicycle on trains running on the Dovre Line between Trondheim and Oslo, and on the Nordland Line between Trondheim and Bodø.
Bicycle tickets can be pre-booked by selecting the ‘bicycle’ add-on when purchasing your ticket. If you want to add a bicycle ticket to an already purchased ticket, you can contact Customer Service.
Departures Where Bicycle Reservations Are Not Available
On all other departures, you can show up directly and find space for your bicycle, provided there is room on the train. It is up to the conductor to decide whether it is safe to bring the bicycle on board. The bicycle must meet the guidelines described under “Criteria for Bicycles Allowed On Board.”
Criteria for bicycles allowed aboard
Bikes must be able to be placed on the hooks in the storage room. The bicycle can be maximum 175 cm long and its wheels cannot surpass a diameter of 5 cm.
Smaller bikes
Foldable bicycles count as a luggage unit and may be brought aboard without extra charge. Scooters for adults can be brought aboard as long as they don’t take more space than your own train seat, or if you can easily place them in the overhead compartment. A bike inside a suitcase can also travel aboard without the need for a ticket, as long as it does not exceed the allowed dimensions for luggage. Small scooters and small bikes for pre-school children can be brought aboard free of charge.
Larger bikes
Electric scooters are subjected to the same rules as regular bicycles. Lithium batteries must be removed and placed in the hand luggage. Batteries shall not be charged aboard. Bike wagons and bike trailers can be brought as long as they follow the same rules as bicycles.
Bikes which are not allowed
Cargobikes, tandem bikes and segways are not permitted aboard. Mopeds and motocycles are also not allowed, even if they are electric.
Bicycles aboard in the event of a planned disruption
In the event of a planned disruption, announced ahead of the journey, where part of the trip will be serviced by a replacement bus, bicycles are not allowed. This is due to limited storage space on the replacement bus.
Prices for bicycle tickets
The price for a bicycle ticket may vary depending on how long your journey is and will be 50% off the price of a Standard Refundable adult ticket, with a minimum price of NOK 43,- and a maximum price of NOK 215,-. From February 1st 2024 the minimum price will be NOK 50,- and the maximum NOK 250,-.
Bicycles are not included in the special prices SJ NORD has with AtB for journeys withtin the zone A in Trøndelag.
