Transdev launches new daily rail service between Malmö (Sweden) and Oslo (Norway). On June 15, 2026 Issy-les-Moulineaux (france), June 15, 2026. Transdev, through its Swedish subsidiary Snälltåget, today launched a new daily cross-border rail service between Malmö (Sweden) and Oslo, the capital of Norway, via Gothenburg. The new daily train departs Oslo in the afternoon and arrives in Malmö in the evening, while the return train departs Malmö in the morning and arrives in Oslo at midday. "Transdev Group see strong potential for increased rail travel along the Copenhagen-Malmö-Gothenburg-Oslo corridor, particularly in the leisure segment. Transdev Group believe that direct services, enhanced onboard comfort tailored for long-distance travel, and the addition of a restaurant car will be key factors in enabling rail to gain market share on this route Carl Adam Holmberg, CEO of Snälltåget Snälltåget already operates rail services, both day and night, between Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Austria. Norway thus becomes the fifth country served by Snälltåget. The new Oslo service connects in Malmö with Snälltåget's existing night train service to and from Hamburg and Berlin. "The launch of this new rail service to Oslo is the result of Snälltåget's targeted development strategy, its flexible business model, and its attractive fares, which allow passengers to travel comfortably over long distances - day and night - without changing trains across five European countries Antoine grange. CEO Europe Snälltåget operates year-round day train services between Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö, and Stockholm. Thanks to its night trains, Snälltåget provides service 220 days a year between Stockholm and Malmö to Hamburg, and Berlin, as well as to the Austrian Alps (via Salzburg), in both winter and summer. Founded in 2007 during the liberalization of the Swedish rail market, Snälltåget - which employs 145 people - operates without any subsidies, relying solely on revenue generated from ticket sales. Half of the trains operate cross-border routes, and nearly all are equipped with dining cars known as Krogen. Snälltåget's rail fleet consists of seven locomotives and 77 cars (seating, couchettes, dining, and baggage) carrying over 900,000 passengers annually, including more than 100,000 on its night trains to and from Germany and Austria. In addition to Snälltåget, Transdev also operates regional rail services north of Stockholm (Roslagsbanan) and in the province of Östergötland (Östgötapendeln). Contact the press office.

Transdev introduces buses with two wheelchair spaces across north England. As part of its investment in more inclusive travel, Transdev is introducing buses across the north of England that feature two wheelchair spaces as standard, with Harrogate already operating the first of these vehicles in Yorkshire. Working with students and staff at Henshaws Specialist College in North Yorkshire, the operator explored how having two wheelchair spaces on buses can make a meaningful difference to confidence, independence, and everyday journeys. Henshaws Specialist College in North Yorkshire supports thousands of people living with a range of disabilities to prepare for employment, make friends, or learn to live more independently Advertisement | Continue story below Henshaws students Georgia, age 20, Lucy, age 26, and Elle, age 20, say being in a wheelchair means that they have unique requirements when using public transport, such as the need for dedicated wheelchair spaces and access ramps. "International Wheelchair Day is important because people need to know more about wheelchairs," said Georgia, with Elle adding that such days "raise awareness about wheelchairs and the lives of wheelchair users." One challenge that students and support staff experience is that sometimes, they are unable to travel together because of a lack of available transport options that can accommodate two wheelchairs at the same time, says Transdev. This also includes when a student in a wheelchair attempts to board a bus, only to find that the sole wheelchair space is already being used, meaning that support staff have to find alternative travel arrangements. The Harrogate Bus Company states that it was the first transport operator in Yorkshire to introduce vehicles that include two wheelchair spaces, and as of March 2026, the vast majority of buses within the fleet feature two wheelchair spaces as standard. As the students boarded one of these two-space buses at Henshaws Specialist College, they were delighted to learn that they were able to travel together on the same vehicle. "It is good because you can travel with a friend who also uses a wheelchair," said one of the students, with another adding: "It's important that wheelchair users can access the community easily, and having an extra space means you and a friend can travel on the same bus together with two wheelchairs." A member of the support staff also commented that having two wheelchair spaces gives both the students and colleagues at the college more confidence to use the buses. Each Harrogate Bus Company vehicle has a built-in wheelchair ramp, wheelchair-facing stop announcement screens, hearing loops for customers who require hearing aids, and audio next-stop announcements. Transdev's bus drivers are trained by industry experts on situational awareness, best practices, and how to safely operate the wheelchair access ramp. As part of their CPC Training (Certificate of Professional Competence), Transdev drivers also experience the challenges associated with manoeuvring a wheelchair onto a bus firsthand, through an active roleplay scenario. Including those operated by sister companies across Yorkshire and Lancashire, Transdev will be running a grand total of 70 vehicles that feature two wheelchair spaces by Spring 2026. Transdev also provides free bus passes for Henshaws students and support staff, for the purpose of travel independence training and accessing the local community. UK charity Whizz Kidz also marked International Wheelchair Day, highlighting the young wheelchair users whose lives had been transformed in recent months.
