[edit]...this book might be of interest. I have only glanced at it, don't remember exactly what it was about. Geschichte (talk) 20:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- You sure? The book was published some 17 years before the line opened, although only a year before the construction started. I'll be within a block away from the UiB HF library tomorrow, so I can take a look, but it wasn't an intuitive choice. Arsenikk (talk) 22:17, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- No, I'm not sure. It has something to do with rail expansion in Western Norway, is all I remember. Geschichte (talk) 07:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- I found the book today, and it talked about all sorts of plans, mainly branches from the Bergen Line to Leikanger and Odda. Through history, there must have been proposals to build to every unpopulated peninsula in the country. I didn't find any mention of the Hardanger Line, but the library had an old consultant report about the line. Although it contained some interesting facts and numbers, it was methodologically not particularly sound. As usual, the railway investments were only considered in lieu of the profitability (bedriftøkonmisk lønnsomhet), while roads were based on economical criteria (samfunnsøkonmisk lønnsomhet). Of course, roads provide no revenue, so with this methodological error, it is no wonder that no railway have been built the last 50 years. Arsenikk (talk) 20:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
