Oslo

Since the timetable change in December 2016, SJ has increased amount of trains between Stockholm and Oslo from 3 to 5 each day. This makes it possible to travel to Oslo over a day and return back same day.

 That is what I'm going to do today. I'm taking the train from Degerfors and returning back to Stockholm. I'm taking following trains:
623: 7:14 Stockholm - 12:29 Oslo
646: 16:56 Oslo - 22:01 Stockholm
The trains makes 7 stops in Katrineholm, Hallsberg, Degerfors, Kristinehamn, Karlstad, Arvika, Kongsvinger except the early morning train (5:30 from Stockholm) which stops only in Karlstad, Arvika and Kongsvinger.

 The new is that besides X2, there are also X55 trains on this route all the way to Oslo.

 After 3h journey from Degerfors (or 5h from Stockholm), the train arrives to Oslo.
