Eastern Norway: possible Vy train drivers' strike from 18 September 2026 (RE10 Drammen–Lillehammer)

Train drivers at Vy may go on strike from 06:00 on Friday 18 September 2026 if mediation between Spekter/Vy and the drivers' union Norsk Lokomotivførerforbund fails. Mediation was paused on 2 September, when Vy's conductors reached their own agreement, and resumes on 17 September; a strike can start no earlier than the following morning.

The first phase would mainly involve drivers based in Hamar. Vy expects line RE10 Drammen–Lillehammer to be heavily affected, with few or no trains between Eidsvoll and Lillehammer, and further cancellations elsewhere in Eastern Norway are possible if the action is widened. Cancelled departures will be marked in the Vy journey planner and app on the first day and then removed from search results, so check before every journey. If mediation succeeds on 17 September, no strike will take place.
