Scandinavian circle 1 - Moss, Göteborg, Stockholm

From Moss, I'm taking R20 regiontog service to Göteborg. R20 line is normally operating hourly service between Oslo and Halden, with 3 trains per day continuing from Halden to Göteborg.
 R20 service is operated with BM73 and BM70 trains
 Same train used for service to/from Trondheim but without bistro.
