===Hamar – Norsk Jernbanemuseum===
[21-020] (13A2, not shown) NO11/1
Some 2 km north of Hamar on the line to Brumunddal, a north-facing siding (approx. 1 km long) provides access to the Norwegian railway museum (operated by Jernbaneverket). This is occasionally used for special trains between the museum and Hamar station or beyond. Details may be obtained from <a href="http://www.norsk-jernbanemuseum.no/">the museum's website</a>.

===Roa – Hønefoss===
[21-041] (20A2-20B2) NO11/3
This alternative route for Oslo - Bergen line trains had been used by weekend relief trains until June 2006 but now has no regular service. However, it is used (as it was between June and August in both 2009 and 2010) as a diversionary route when engineering work blocks the normal route. This will be much less common now that the new tunnel between Lysaker and Sandvika has opened. There are no trains shown in the current timetable commencing 12 December 2010.

[21-071] (5A2) NO11/5
This route, part of the line avoiding Trondheim to the south, provides an alternative route for freight trains between Trondheim and the Bodø and Storlien lines. The western end, connecting to the Trondheim - Oslo main line, is used by the SSuX hourly Lerkendal - Trondheim S - Steinkjer local service but there is no booked passenger service over the north-eastern end (note: despite extended journey times, trains from Bodø to Trondheim S use the normal route).
