Tourist train Norway operator City Train Sightseeing, active in the scenic coastal cities of Ålesund and Haugesund, has begun a major fleet renewal with Deltrain Tagus Tourist Trains. This multi-phase project will replace their older trains with modern, reliable, and comfortable models designed for today’s sightseeing passengers.
After many years in service, the previous Norway tourist railway vehicles—supplied by another manufacturer—were no longer meeting the company’s standards for passenger comfort and operational efficiency.
Operating in coastal sightseeing tours in Norway brings unique challenges:
Unpredictable weather and steep urban streets.
High passenger volumes from cruise ships.
The need for low-emission, high-reliability performance.
City Train Sightseeing needed a supplier who could deliver:
Greater capacity without sacrificing comfort.
Proven durability for long operating days.
Ongoing after-sales support.
The company chose Deltrain as its manufacturing partner, selecting Tagus Tourist Trains with Diamond passenger wagons, powered by Euro 5 diesel engines. These trains are built in Europe to exacting standards, offering robust performance and a smooth ride for both Ålesund tourist train and Haugesund tourist train operations.
Excellent price-to-quality ratio.
Collaborative approach — tailoring designs to the operator’s needs.
Outstanding aftersales service, ensuring long-term reliability.
In early 2025, the first two Deltrain-built trains entered service, marking the initial stage of a four-train fleet renewal. Early results include:
Smoother, more comfortable rides.
Reliable performance during peak cruise passenger sightseeing Norway season.
Positive feedback from passengers, staff, and tourism partners.
This passenger sightseeing train service upgrade is ongoing. The remaining two Deltrain-built trains are in production and will be delivered in the next phase. Once all four are in operation, City Train Sightseeing will have fully replaced its old fleet, creating one of the most modern heritage-style tourist trains in Norway.
By investing in scenic city train services in Norway built by Deltrain, City Train Sightseeing is ensuring that both Ålesund and Haugesund remain must-visit destinations. With reliable Euro 5 diesel power, elegant Diamond wagons, and strong manufacturer support, the company is ready to welcome passengers for many more seasons.
