Obscure services
Hamar – Norsk Jernbanemuseum [21-020] (13A2, not shown) NO06/1
Some 2 km north of Hamar on the line to Brumunddal, a north-facing siding (approx. 1 km long) provides access to the Norwegian railway museum (operated by Jernbaneverket). This is occasionally used for special trains between the museum and Hamar station or beyond. Details may be obtained from http://www.norsk-jernbanemuseum.no/.

Trains running non-stop between Oslo S and Lillestrom or Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen run via the Romeriksporten Tunnel but trains calling intermediately between Oslo S and Lillestrom use the Hovedbanen (old main line).
Lillestrom – Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen (Jessheim Syd) [21-020/021/450/FlyToget] (20B1-2) NO06/3
Trains running non-stop between Lillestrom and Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen run via the Gardermobanen but trains calling intermediately between Lillestrom and Kløfta use the Hovedbanen (old main line). Trains calling intermediately between Lillestrom and Kløfta and then serving Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen (table 21-450) use a connecting chord between the two lines at Jessheim Syd (northbound) or a flat crossing immediately north of Kløfta station (southbound).

An alternative route for Oslo - Bergen line trains which had been used by weekend relief trains until June 2006.

A 9.5 km long direct line opened between Sandvika and Asker in August 2005 and is used by fast trains between Oslo and Drammen (table 21-041). Suburban trains, calling at stations between Sandvika and Asker, continue to use the old main line.
Lerkendal – Leangen [21-071] (5A2) NO06/6
This route, part of the line avoiding Trondheim to the south, provides an alternative route for freight trains between Trondheim and the Bodø and Storlien lines. The western end, connecting to the Trondheim - Oslo main line, is used by the SSuX hourly Lerkendal - Trondheim S - Steinkjer local service but there is no booked passenger service over the north-eastern end (note: despite its extended journey time, train 476 from Bodø to Trondheim S uses the normal route).
