Summary

Three MPs—Guri Melby, Abid Raja, and Grunde Almeland—have proposed prioritizing investment in rail services on the Main Line and examining the reopening of the railway line between Hokksund and Roa. The proposers argue that population growth in eastern Norway, particularly in the Upper Romerike region, has been substantial, yet residents in many areas have seen their rail services decline despite this growth. They contend that a feasibility study shows it would be realistic to establish hourly service on the Hokksund–Roa line with public funding of approximately 35 million kroner annually.
