"State support grows för Stockholm-Oslo mega rail scheme"

I en intervju i den internationella nyhetstjänsten Inframation ställer sig statssekreterare Anders B. Werp positiv till att söka dialog med den svenska regeringen om förverkligandet av en snabbare järnvägsförbindelse mellan Oslo och Stockholm. Werp säger bland annat att departementet följer projektet Oslo-Sthlm 2.55 med stort intresse och att den norska regeringen gärna pratar mer om projektet med sina svenska motsvarigheter.

 Ett utdrag ur artikeln - "State support grows för Stockholm-Oslo mega rail scheme"

"Procurement of a potentially privately-financed rail link between Stockholm and Oslo (pictured) appeared to move a step closer after Norway's transport ministry said it is willing to engage with the project in partnership with Sweden.

Anders B Werp, state secretary in Norway's transport ministry, said in an emailed statement to Inframation that the ministry is "following the work of the project with great interest" and would be "happy to discuss in further detail with our Swedish colleagues" how the two ministries can become involved in the project if needed.

...

His comments follow Oslo-Stockholm holding a presentation in Norway to promote the project and transport minister Jon Georg Dale telling local media that the project should go ahead if it can be shown to be profitable.

...

Dale said he plans to meet with representatives from the Swedish government in the autumn to discuss the project. Opposition Labour Party politician Sverre Myrli also voiced support for creating a faster link between the two capitals."
