How to get from Glasgow/Edinburgh to Oslo?
 

Hi, <BR>Does anyone know of an economical way to get to Oslo from Glasgow or Edinburgh?<BR>So far the only option I have found is about GBP70 to fly from Glasgow to Oslo. <BR>Would like to know if its possible to go by rail or anything.. thanks<BR>

The problem about going by rail is that there's this great big stretch of water, called the North Sea, in the way.<BR><BR>British Rail are working on laying tracks on it but haven't quite worked out the method.<BR><BR>&pound;70 is a bloody good price. Grab it with both hands.

If the train is too expensive maybe look into hiring a car or hitchhiking.

Cars have a bit of an issue with the sea too.<BR><BR>Believe me, that's a good price.

The most economical way to get to Oslo from Scotland is to fly with Ryanair (www.ryanair.com). A pleasant way would be to travel to Newcastle from Edinburgh/Glasgow by train (a couple of hours) and to get the ferry to Bergen, Norway. One of the World's best railway jorneys is from Bergen to Oslo.<BR><BR>If would like any further info, please do not hesitate to contact me. I have been to Scotland and Norway many times.

Hi,<BR><BR>Ryanair fly from Glasgow Prestwick to Oslo Torp. (www.ryanair.com) Occasionally you might get a cheap fare but as Sheila has mentioned &pound;70 is very good ( it would be omre expensive to fly to the Scottish islands or down to London on BA or Bmi.<BR>I'd grab the &pound;70 fare and have a grat time.

She's sharp as a tack. Can't slip one past that Sheila...no,no,no!

Why, thank you kind sir:)<BR><BR>FWIW there are lots of direct flights out of Aberdeen, but the prices will be much higher than the one quoted.<BR><BR>The ferry price from Newcastle will be a minimum of &pound;70 and a maximum of &pound;110 depending on date
