Travel, food and accommodation
Local travel and accommodation
You are welcome to arrive at the field station on Sunday afternoon. There is both a regular bus 500 and an express bus 500E that goes from Oslo S to Storgata in Drøbak, a short walk from Tollboden on Storgata 43.An example trip: on google maps. You can also see the bus schedule on the official Ruter site, and find information about how to buy a ticket. Buses on local routes run about every 20-30 minutes all day long. NB: Some of the express busses stop at Seiersten, which is a 10 minute walk from the station. We are assuming most people will leave on Friday Sept 28 at the end of the day, but let us know if this is not the case.
