Welcome to Moss station. As a first-time visitor, you will find this is a straightforward, compact through-station that serves as an essential stop on the Østfold Line. Unlike larger metropolitan hubs, Moss features a simple, functional layout consisting of three tracks and two platforms. Specifically, there is a side platform serving Track 1 and a single island platform located between Tracks 2 and 3.
Because the station is relatively small, you do not need to worry about long walks or navigating multiple complex levels. All platforms are accessed at ground level. However, please be aware that the current station layout utilizes a level crossing with steps to move between the platforms. If you are traveling with heavy luggage or require mobility assistance, please note that the station’s current infrastructure is limited; while a mobile lifting device is available on Track 1, movement between the platforms can be physically demanding.
For your orientation, think of the station as a linear path. Whether you are catching a regional train to Halden or Gothenburg, or a commuter service toward Oslo, your train will arrive at one of these three tracks. The station is well-marked, and the limited number of tracks makes it easy to spot your train's arrival from the main waiting area.
A point of confusion for some visitors is the ongoing infrastructure development in the area. While the current station is the one you will be using, large-scale modernization projects are currently underway in Moss to improve capacity and accessibility. Always check the digital signage on the platform, as it will provide the most accurate, real-time information regarding your specific departure.
If you are transferring to the ferry, the terminal for the Bastøfergene ferry to Horten is located just a short, five-to-ten-minute walk from the station. Simply exit the station and follow the signs toward the waterfront. Given the station's manageable size, you should find navigation stress-free, provided you allow a few extra minutes if you need to navigate the stairs at the level crossing. If you have any trouble, the station kiosk and waiting room area serve as the central point for information.
