Stockholm to Oslo train May 17th

Morning, everyone,

I am attending the International Conference on Applied Mathematics and Science on May 18th in Oslo but was lucky enough to catch cheap air tickets to Stockholm right before that. Now I want to book a train ticket from Sweden to Norway. Any suggestions?

Yes, I have a suggestion.

Go to the Swedish Railways website and book a ticket. It's in English.

https://www.sj.se/en/home.html#/

Are you flying into Arlanda airport in Stockholm or another airport?
Do you intend to take the train from the airport or are you staying a night in Stockholm?

Another suggestion is to fly, depending of course of what your arrival airport is in Stockholm.

What would you say about those?
https://www.acprail.com/train-tickets/scandinavian-rai and https://rail.ninja/route/stockholm-to-oslo
Are these related and trusted ones?
I suppose SJ is the official ticket provider for this route? I will look into this, I appreciate your help.

I'm flying into Arlanda Airport if that makes any difference and staying in Clarion Sign hotel for 1 night. I can see its within walking distance from the Stockholm Central Train station, is that right?

Skip the Ninja website, there is no need to book thru a 3rd party when you have the option of booking through the official websites.

The acprail website is suggesting Swedish Railways and/or Norwegian Railways, it's their logos that are showing under Scandinavian Rail but again no need to book thru a 3rd party.

I suggest you book on the official Swedish Railways website which is the one I provided above. Once booked, you will receive an email with the eticket, this is what you show onboard the train.

Yes your hotel in Stockholm is close to the central station.

Do note that 17th May is Norway's national day - a public holiday with parades etc. well being part of - dress well. So try and arrange an early arrival in Oslo on 17th or before.
