    Except for Stockholm and Vienna you'll find Heathrow, Oslo Gardermoen,

    Sure? When Oslo Gardermoen opened, it has had dedicated halfhourly
    trains, in 21 minutes to Oslo S.

    I don't find these in the current timetable. Instead, there is an hourly
    IC Lillehammer - Oslo stopping at Gardermoen, which travels to Oslo S in
    26 minutes. Reason for longer travel time is an addditional stop in Lillestrom. There is also an hourly local. But that's it.
    -----------------------------
    The dedicated "Flytoget" is running every 15 minute to/from the airport.
    It's now an operation independent from NSB http://www.flytoget.no/default.aspx?id=105

    Now, they may lose slots in Oslo city railway tunnel,
    needed for longer trains that can be used with normal tickets.
