The Trøndelag Commuter Rail (NSB Lokaltog Trøndelag, previously Trønderbanen) is a commuter train service operated in Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag, Norway. It is operated by Norwegian State Railways (NSB) with Class 92 diesel multiple units. The service acts as a commuter rail connecting Trondheim to its suburbs, between towns in Innherred and as an airport rail link for Trondheim Airport, Værnes. Although passenger services have operated along the lines since 1864, the commuter train was created with an increase of service with existing rolling stock in 1993. In 2006, the system had at least 1,180,000 passengers. The main service operates from Lerkendal in Trondheim via Trondheim Central Station and Trondheim Airport Station to Steinkjer on the Nordland Line. The service runs every hour, with additional rush-hour services, and reduced service in the evenings and on the weekend. The secondary services runs from Trondheim along the Dovre Line to Støren and along the Røros Line to Røros. The Mittnabotåget service operates twice a day from Trondheim along the Meråker Line and the Middle Line in Sweden to Östersund Central Station.
