If you miss a connection and haven't kept the required transfer time, the rest of your minipris ticket is actually void. This is not the case in the UK. If you miss a connection with an advance ticket, you can use the next possible train, as per the terms and conditions "If delays occur while travelling, you will be allowed to take the next available train(s) to complete your journey." I find it extremely odd that NSB is allowed to sell through tickets with short connection stimes and leave you stranded if a connection is misssed. | |

You could choose to take the risk and choose the 21 min connection, but NSB having informed you of the risk would have no obligation to give you space on the next train if you have only paid the Minipris ticket. This is also the case in the uk, where if you purchace an 'advance' ticket you must travel on the specified train. | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 9:16 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | If NSB sells you a through ticket, I would be highly surprised if the rest of the ticket is void if you miss a connection because of a delayed train. The situation is neither mentioned in the conditions for the minipris tickets, nor in the general transport conditions. I'll see if I can find more. You should however edit your question to match reality. As I pointed out, you are misquoting most of the disclaimer. | |

However, if you should miss the connection ... on the next possible train. My understanding is that this only holds when you have a regular ticket, right? A Minipris ticket only allows you to take the trains you booked in advance (as Martin Jevon points out).
