There is usually cross border traffic provided both by SJ and Värmlandstrafik, but since almost a year ago, SJ trains are terminated at Karlstad, and all Värmlandstrafik trains are operated only until Charlottenberg.
The large shopping mall in Charlottenberg is usually crowded with Norwegians shopping here everything from clothes to alcohol, but not anymore
Many shops are still open, but there are no customers
There is a green light at the direction to Norway
Freight trains are the only trains allowed to cross the border

The bus service to Kongsvinger is still in operation, but I wonder who is traveling...
