hello and hey and welcome back to Oslo for the final installment of my trip here and this video really starts a couple of years ago when I got a message from the manager of the Oslo Transport Museum saying hi Tim been watching your videos if you ever come to Oslo please let me know and I'll show you around our collection of vintage Norwegian trams and buses well as you know I am now in Oslo because visit Oslo have paid for me to come here and make two videos and for the second one they have spec
ifically asked me to show you something different to the first instead of something outdoors and active maybe something indoors and cultural so I think you can all see where this is going welcome to the Oslo Transport Museum so this is spor Muse which technically translates as the railway or traway Museum because that's how it started but these days they have more than just trams so they call it the Oslo Transport Museum and we're going to be shown around by a man called Peta who is Museum manag
er here but he's also a viewer of the channel and creator of the official Tim traveler map which we'll come back to later but first I wanted to ask him about the building that we're in so how did this building start yeah it was actually a trans Depot this was one of five in this area and this was the largest one and there are still tracks and everything so this is where they actually worked with the CH and uh after a while it was shut down the other ones were demolished this is the one the one r
emaining we just moved in with our stuff yeah one way of doing it yes we're all volunteers here though so we moved in with our stuff and just sted having the museum and uh it was recognized and now formalized as a museum um I like this one with skis on it tell me about that yeah so um you've probably been already in hman col yes we were there this morning yes yes this is from H col H in hman col there are ski the famous ski jump and also there are a lot of ski tracks and things to do in the wint
er uh this is one of the carriages that went there m and people needed to carry their skis so why not on the outside for those of you who saw the last video this is the kind of tram that used to run on line one from the 1950s right up until the 1990s when the line was converted from a Tramway into a metro line can we inside of course come with me so this actual uh tram we have uh made into a meeting room so we rent it out for um uh birthday parties for children or um local groups meeting or when
we self our board meetings we meet in this historical Carriage by yeah and there's a tra driving simulator yeah it's not very simulator but but for kids it's good I'm sorry but as I'm a kid I actually yeah of course I remember this this is yeah that's the supermarket station oh sorry I should be controlling the TR yeah of course I think your break's on the right there next I asked Peta what was the oldest tram in the collection which was a pretty stupid question cuz there's one over here with a
horse in front of it so this is the uh oldest one we have from 187 5 uh it's run by a horse not by electricity or uh Fuel and um the horse is not original but the tra is so let's have a look at it it's really light and uh simple I can actually move it with my hands oh wow so the horse would be able to move it as well yeah you stood there and dve the Train the TR and you were able to open the doors with this one and it was even uh a collection box for um the fair uh which every passenger can cou
ld control as well as the the driving yeah one of the great things about this Museum compared to some other transport museums I've been to is that pretty much every vehicle here is open so you can just climb on and have a look inside they got on top so these were staggered all the way back yeah they are it's weird weird stuggy seats uh so this if I'm not mistaken better is a bus it's a bus and it's a trolley bus which we had in us for some years mhm long time ago before I was born H yeah we don'
t have it anymore now we have battery buses and a few left with uh with fuel but there are um uh lines for the the the troller line and this even has as the same as the hle places for skis goes without saying I am loving some of these gorgeous retro design designs the people of Oslo have been traveling in style for a while and the museum has something like 35 vehicles on display plus various other transport bits and pieces so there's loads more to see here but I'm going to leave the rest of it f
or you to discover if you ever come and visit however there is one thing we still need to discuss um I should explain pet is not just the manager of the museum you are the legendary P who made the Tim traveler official map yes I I just love your videos Tim and I wanted to map it all around on a Google map so people could see where they are and it's uh it's was really def in making it and it's live on Google M right now that was very kindly thank you so much so if you'd like to check out peta's m
ap of all the places I've ever been on this channel I'll put a link in the description and meanwhile if you'd like to visit the Transport Museum it's a short walk from my stn station on the main core section of the Oslo Metro which means it's served by every single online entrance is 50 Crona for adults Which is less than5 or £4 and if you have the Oslo pass then it's free for those of you with mobility issues there is a small step on the way in but otherwise the building is level access however
there's no disabled toilet here yet that's something they're hoping to upgrade in the future more details of course on visit oo.com but for now thank you very much for watching and I'll see you soon a special message for passengers called Andrew could you please Evacuate the train it works it did confirm it works

A museum of trams and busses? Guaranteed to attract Tim. If you were trying to set a trap for Tim, this would be the bait of choice.
3:35 "The horse is not original." He speaks Tim fluently. Just lovely!
"The horse is not original" cracked me up. Love it
this series of Oslo videos is how I wish all sponsored content were done! it's great how even though Visit Oslo paid for you to come make videos, the flavor/themes of the videos are still 100% in line with your general content, so it doesn't feel forced or put upon at all. I think they made a great choice in sponsoring you!
The "map men" theme at 5:42 lol. These audio track jokes keep being just perfect :')
Being able to get on the vehicle is simply essential - a whole different experience to just looking at it from outside. I remember my first visit to the London Transport museum at Covent Garden. There was an old double decker bus there, which was fairly interesting, but this was a rare exhibit where you could go inside. So in I went and up the stairs, and wow! The cramped space, the patterns on the seats, and the smell! I was instantly transported back decades to being a little kid being allowed to go upstairs on the bus. That one moment was worth the entrance fee alone.
0:24 I'm never going to get tired of Tim's terrified bird squawking
The phrase "We just started having a museum" is one that needs to be used more!
i love museums which let me on the vehicles ... just not the same to walk around such huge pieces, even worst when there isnt even a raised platform so that one could look inside. good job Oslo, and thanks Tim
the horse is not original....killed me. So wanna come to Oslo, hold my drink,,,,
I visited this museum in 2011. Back then, I was particularly impressed by the streamlined tram from the 1930s, whose streamlined, rounded rear end could be folded out to accommodate skis. (It will probably never have travelled so fast that the streamline would have had an energy-reducing effect 😄.)
Would just like to say I really appreciate how you have communicated about the fact you are being paid for these videos. It's really transparent without being heavy-handed
We need to get Tim to the ISS for a vid, just to fuck with Petters map.
5:44 that map is still sorely missing the Rensenpark in Emmen! It's a former zoo, now a public park with much of the original landscaping still there and accessible. The zoo itself moved to a new location on the edge of the city and is also really nice, but of course we're not here for any of that! Both are just a short walk from Emmen train station, connected to Zwolle and Almelo.
"The horse is not original, but the tram is." 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like a fun place to visit. That map is awesome. Nice one Petter. 👍
There are so many good museums in Oslo. The Viking Ship museum and the Fram museum in particular are fantastic.
One of us! One of us! Hi Petter! Thanks buddy.
The ski tram reminded me of when I was a volunteer at the Sydney tram museum. Sydney's Toast Rack style trams could easily carry 128 passengers and they used to be great at Bondi Beach on summer days - if a sudden change of weather came through they were great for taking lots of people home in a hurry. And I remember one day going into the main workshop to see our Berlin tram had a smashed up front. I asked what happened and was told that in Europe the tram controls are the opposite way around to British style trams. One of our volunteers had been driving Australian trams all day and had to then drive the tram we got from Berlin. He had to stop so he cut power. But he had been driving Australian trams all day. So he actually increased power. The tram slammed into the end of a Sydney R class tram. The Berlin tram which was small and designed to fit through medieval streets had its front end smashed in but the Sydney tram had a massive wooden block in front of it as a buffer bar which only suffered a few paint flecks damage.
3:20 Tim driving the tram and says "Someone's going to die here" 😳😆😆😆
