In 1909, 1951 and again in 1964 (the same year the North Western and Great Western announced their intentions to merge) the CGW sought engineering proposals to reroute their trackage around the bore, to daylight the tunnel, or to completely rebuild and improve it.
Similar views on learning lesson is expressed by Boyer [3] who states that 'One way of preventing the capture of profits by varying trackage charges is to mandate uniform charges per mile of track regardless of track condition, timing, location, or traffic level.
When the mass electrification was finished in 1970, all unelectrified trackage was allocated to diesel operations.
By building a branch line from Roa to Hønefoss, the Bergens Line could be connected to Nordbanen, allowing standard gauge trackage all the way to Oslo Østbanestasjon (Oslo Ø).
