Hi, I intend to travel from Zurich on 27 Mar to Olso by rail, so that I can take the scenic train from Oslo to Bergen.
I will arrive at Kolding train station close to midnight. The train out to Copenhagen is at 5:06 am. I am wondering if I am able to wait in the station.
Looking forward to some advice.

Hello AnnAng and welcome to rail.cc
Do you travel with a rail pass (Interrail or Eurail) or by point to point tickets from Zurich to Bergen ?
Just as proposal:
1) Travel from Zurich to Hamburg by overnight train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/zurich-hamburg-nj-40470/500[/u]
2) From Hamburg continue via Copenhagen to Göteborg. Check for tickets here: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn/Hamburg-hbf/Goteborg Central[/ux]
3) Stay there overnight, for example here is one of my favourites: [u]https://rail.cc/en/gothenburg/ibis-styles-goeteborg-city/l5662[/u]
4) Continue early in the morning from Göteborg (dep 06:55) to Oslo (arr 10:52) [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/gothenburg-to-oslo[/u]
5) And from Oslo (dep 12:03) to Bergen (arr 1855): [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/oslo-to-bergen[/u]
Of course you it might be nice to have some stops in between... or to include Flam railway [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/the-flam-railway/[/ux] ... :)
Or even to continue more to the north of Norway:

The opening times of the station building / waiting room are from 05:00 to 23:15h daily.

Thank you, Pete, for the informative response.
I have a Eurail Global Pass.
Yes, I must do the Flam Railway.
I am planning on doing all these (listed in Scenic Trains in Europe) https://www.eurail.com/en/europe-by-train/scenic-trains:
Arlbergline
Bergen Railway
Bernina Express
Black Forest Lines
Centovalli Railway
Flåm Railway
Glacier Express
Golden Pass
Gotthard Panorama Express
Rauma Line
Rhine Valley Line
Semmering Bahn
I only have a month. I\'ll be flying in and leaving from Zurich.
Hope you can find time to advise me.

You can travel through Denmark during the night:
Kolding 00:27 - 00:41 Fredericia
Fredericia 01:23 - 02:29 Aarhus
Aarhus 04:09 - 07:08 Copenhagen
You can easily make all scenic routes within one month. :)
