Main Characteristics of High-speed Rail Networks High-Speed-Rail means Running at least 200 kph and faster Integrated Concept of Lines, Vehicles and Operations Railway services with (very) short travel times = less than car traffic = comparable with air traffic on short and medium distances (up to 400 km) = comparable with air traffic on long distances (up to 800 km) Using new high-speed lines = maximum speed depending on topography and settlement structure Using new train technologies = high-powered trains = special technologies, e.g. tilting trains Combining with existing conventional lines = Access to the cities = Extension of High-speed services to the regions = Intermediate solutions while building up the network Page 6

Key Figures in a European Context Socio-economic Structure Norway is the most sparsely populated country throughout Europe GDP per capita in Norway is the second highest in Europe Car density in Norway is one of the lowest Long-distance Passenger Traffic Today Norwegians long-distance mobility is one of the highest throughout Europe Norwegians long-distance mobility is air traffic orientated In contrast, Norwegians rail mobility is one of the weakest Long-distance Passenger Traffic in Future Long-distance passenger is object of ongoing growth Railways traffic demand can grow likewise if basic conditions develop on a favourable path for railways If no upgrading of existing rail services is planned, rail market share will diminish INTRAPLAN Consult GmbH HSR Norway Market Study 22.

Key Figures in a European Context Conclusion Only Oslo can act as an origin for new High-Speed Lines High-speed Services have to be adjusted to relative small traffic potentials It has to be reached high cost efficiency by combining the relative small potentials by integration of existing services by minimising of investment and operation costs Rail travel times between the centres of the major cities should be competitive to air traffic and therefore should not exceed three hours INTRAPLAN Consult GmbH HSR Norway Market Study 22.

Basic Forecast Overall Long-distance passenger demand will grow by about 10% to 15% on short and medium distances about 30% to 40% on longer distances due to development of population and economic growth* Without High-Speed Services, rail market share will fall considerably due to economic growth* higher car availability* growing rail fares* In total, rail traffic will grow only slightly if the railway s level of service will be the same in 2020 as today. * The assumptions on the development of socio-economic figures and user costs are made in coherence with the assumptions of other studies made for the new Norwegian transport master plan.

Traffic demand with High-Speed-Rail-Services With High-Speed-Rail-Services The railway s market share will grow strongly up to 50% of total traffic demand in the corridors Overall traffic demand will grow due to shorter land bound travel time today and lower user costs in comparison to air traffic INTRAPLAN Consult GmbH HSR Norway Market Study 22.

Conclusion As traffic demand potentials are relatively low, planning, construction and operation has to be adapted to this constraint Traffic demand from Oslo to Trondheim and Bergen are the highest one; from the market point of view these corridors should be given a high priority Traffic demand potentials from Oslo to Gøteborg and Kristiansand should be combined with demand potentials of regional markets. In doing so, these corridors can also be given a high priority from the market point of view Traffic demand potentials between Oslo and Stavanger have to be combined with demand potentials of the Oslo - Bergen or Oslo - Kristiansand corridor INTRAPLAN Consult GmbH HSR Norway Market Study 22.

Technical Aspects for High-Speed-Rail As a result of the market study we can say that there will be single track lines out of the greater Oslo area. This will cause some new problems for no other high-speed-line up to now was built as a single track line. Special regard has to be made on the schedule concept planning of passing sections planning of crossing sections due to the chosen speed on the high-speed-line. Most other parameters are almost fixed (e.g. by TSI / regularities) Page 12

First Summary and Conclusion to Phase 1 The result of phase 1 of the Feasibility Study concerning High- Speed-Railway-Lines in Norway shows that market potentials in the several corridors are in a wide range but are relatively low compared to other European countries; nevertheless High-Speed-Railway Lines seem to be possible in principle but have to be constructed with specific boundary conditions such as single-track lines; due to low traffic demand strong cost efficiency is recommended; already realised and planned High-Speed-Sections have to be included in the concept. This means that only in corridors with combination of relative high traffic demand and low investment and operating costs a positive result in a cost-benefit-analysis can be expected. Page 27

First Summary and Conclusion to Phase 1 The corridors to Bergen and Trondheim have about the same (higher) level of demand. In both corridors are in total five thinkable lines. The lines to Bergen and the line to Trondheim via Gudbrandsdalen and Dovrefjellet need about 100 km of tunnel construction. Only the line to Trondheim via Østerdalen can be realised with relatively low tunnel shares and therefore can be realised with low investment costs. For the corridors with also comparable (relatively low) demand to Halden and Kristiansand the corridor to Halden (Gøteborg) enables the connection to the European High-Speed-Net and therefore has to be preferred. Additional to that in the corridor to Kristiansand more new High-Speed-Sections have to be built in a difficult area. Page 28

First Summary and Conclusion to Phase 1 In the corridor to Stavanger traffic demand seems to be too low to build a specific High-Speed-Line for its own. There are various alternatives to integrate this corridor into a preferably economical basic network which have to be worked out more in detail to find the best solution. This is also considered for the corridors Bergen Stavanger and Bergen Trondheim where traffic demand is even lower and infrastructure costs are very high because of the necessity to cross the fjords along the coast. Page 29

First Summary and Conclusion to Phase 1 That doesn t mean that the corridors which are - at the moment - not chosen for further study are senseless, but the corridor Oslo Trondheim should be studied first to give an indication of the efficiency of the other corridors. The study group therefore suggests going on in phase 2 of the study with the investigation of the corridors Oslo Trondheim and Oslo Halden (Gøteborg). Page 30

Becoming a positive Result will give Advise for Planning the High-Speed-Lines in the two other Corridors Oslo Bergen and Oslo Kristiansand The Corridor to Stavanger we see as a Combination whether with Bergen or Kristiansand and is to be decided after their evaluation.
