      I'm investigating rail options in Oslo for one of my wonderful sponsors--he will be making a trip & is interested in places to see by train

      The scenery out there is breathtaking, both natural and man-made, and there are many historic sites to explore too. However...

      ...although I understand Norway to have excellent train *service,* with good frequency etc, they fall pretty short in some other departments

      This is the NSB Class 73. Great specs, EMU, etc...but dubious aesthetics here if I'm being generous.pic.twitter.com/wrE4vaR5M0

      The Class 71 is very similar, used for rapid service to Oslo Airport. But what's with the AmEx ads? And why do u need stairs to board?pic.twitter.com/J4vLqla9RS

      Low platforms are very common throughout Europe (and the USA), which is baffling to me. Trains are guided vehicles, they always arrive...

      ...at a station at a fixed distance from the platform's edge and elevation. So why not make those match? Very odd...

      Here is an older series for local service, the Class 69. C'mon Norway I know you can do better than this!pic.twitter.com/NK0l8CPOVJ

          The Class 70. Kinda cute tbh, I dig it, I dig it....but again with the low platforms! What's so hard about this, I wonder?pic.twitter.com/JsFIdDKQDz

          Class 72. This is built by Ansaldo-Breda, a Dutch company. Cringey aesthetic, no good. No wonder people miss steam trains!pic.twitter.com/BlvBZiPLMk

          Incidentally, Breda made the most recent Green Line streetcars in Boston. Predictably, I prefer the Kintetsu-made ones...pic.twitter.com/GsC8WHaptL

          The most common new EMU in Europe right now appears to be the Stadler FLIRT. Norwegian, Swiss, Czech, Estonian versions shown here.pic.twitter.com/T3wvz989dz

          Again--great specs, but what's up with that design? And low platforms, smdh... Interior shots from Germany, Estonia, Hungary--not cozy...pic.twitter.com/LYYkEPjnuy

          Anyway. If there's a point to this thread, I guess it's that there's more to good rail service than the purely technical side of things.

          Aesthetics are VERY important, and it's perfectly understandable for people to be nostalgic for steam trains.
