Government plans to break the monopoly of state operator NSB, allowing private companies to service train lines.
Railway workers halted trains across the country on 15 June to protest against government plans to liberalise the railway services. Government plans would break the monopoly of state operator NSB, allowing private companies to service train lines as well. The reform plans have not yet been voted in Parliament, but are expected to be supported by the majority of MPs.
