Estimates for the project costs were NOK&nbsp;4.3&nbsp;billion, ±20%, but by completion they had ended at NOK&nbsp;7.7&nbsp;billion, of which NOK&nbsp;1.3&nbsp;billion were related to the leakages. The rest of the line had a cost exceedings of NOK&nbsp;0.4&nbsp;billion. The company had acquired [[interest|financial costs]] of NOK&nbsp;0.9&nbsp;billion, so the company owed NOK&nbsp;10.0&nbsp;billion by 1999, including money spent on the new trains.<ref name=history />

The first steps of organisational restructure were taken 29 June 2000, when the [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] of NSB, [[Osmund Ueland]], was fired due to several incidents related to the operations of NSB—not just the Gardermo Line.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=7694863 |title=Ueland fikk sparken i NSB |author=Norsk Telegrambyrå |publisher=[[Verdens Gang]] |date=2000-06-29 |access-date=2008-09-13 |language=no |author-link=Norwegian News Agency}}</ref> [[Einar Enger]] took over as new CEO on 26 February 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vg.no/nyheter/meninger/artikkel.php?artid=1515882 |title=Ny mann på nytt spor? |author=Verdens Gang |date=2001-02-26 |access-date=2008-09-13 |language=no}}</ref>

The debt in NSB Gardermobanen had become unmanageable, and in April 2000 parliament accepted that it would not be possible to make the Gardermo Line—with the current structure—the profitable venture predicted in 1992. From 1 January 2001, the company changed name to Flytoget AS, retaining ownership of the trains and operations and kept as a subsidiary of NSB. The tracks and infrastructure were transferred to the [[Norwegian National Rail Administration]] ({{lang|no|Jernbaneverket}}), who owns the rest of the [[rail transport in Norway|Norwegian railway network]]. All debt was restored and covered by the state, and a vehicle excise duty was implemented on the Gardermo Line to cover the management and maintenance of the line, to be paid by all users.<ref name=history />

On 9 December 2002, parliament decided that Flytoget AS would become a separate [[railway company]] from 1 January 2003, owned directly by the Ministry of Transport and Communications.<ref name=history /> One year later the ownership was transferred to the Ministry of Trade and Industry as part of a cleanup of political overhaul between the departments.<ref name=boarding04>{{Cite web |url=http://www.boarding.no/art.asp?id=11101 |title=Flytoget til Nærings- og handelsdepartementet |author=Boarding |date=2004-02-12 |access-date=2008-09-13 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703063119/http://www.boarding.no/art.asp?id=11101 |archive-date=2009-07-03 }}</ref> As part of the process, a new CEO, [[Thomas Havnegjerde]], was appointed in June 2002,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.flytoget.no/eng/About-Flytoget/About-the-Organisation |title=About the Organisation |author=Flytoget |access-date=2008-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080527230937/http://www.flytoget.no/eng/About-Flytoget/About-the-Organisation |archive-date=2008-05-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and in January 2003 the new chair, [[Endre Skjørestad]]—who took over the position form NSB's director Einar Enger.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.boarding.no/art.asp?art=6296 |title=Endre Skjørestad ny styreleder |author=Boarding |access-date=2008-09-13 |date=2003-01-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703071007/http://www.boarding.no/art.asp?art=6296 |archive-date=2009-07-03 }}</ref> Havnegjerde announced on 6 August 2008 that he would retire from his job before the end of the year.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.na24.no/article2113616.ece |title=Toppsjef begynneri barnehage |author=Lorentzen, Magdalena |publisher=[[NA24]] |date=2008-08-06 |access-date=2008-09-14 |language=no |archive-date=2009-07-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703064903/http://www.na24.no/article2113616.ece |url-status=dead }}</ref> He was replaced by Linda Bernander Silseth on 10 November 2008.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.flytoget.no/eng/About-Flytoget/Press/Pressemeldinger/Linda-Bernander-Silseth-ny-administrerende-direkt%C3%B8r-i-Flytoget |title=Linda Bernander Silseth ny administrerende direktør i Flytoget |author=Flytoget |date=2008-10-24 |language=no |access-date=2008-05-24}} {{Dead link|date=June 2010| bot=DASHBot}}</ref> On 30 August 2009, two of three services to Asker were extended to Drammen.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.flytoget.no/nor/content/view/full/448 |title=2 Flytog i timen fra Drammen |author=Flytoget |date=2009-06-23 |language=no |access-date=2009-08-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090907045152/http://www.flytoget.no/nor/content/view/full/448 |archive-date=2009-09-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This followed upgrades to the Drammen Line, including the [[Lieråsen Tunnel]], and a new parking lot at [[Drammen Station]], in total costing NOK&nbsp;20&nbsp;million.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.regjeringen.no/en/dep/sd/Press-Centre/Press-releases/2007/Flytoget--til-Drammen-fra-juni-2008.html?id=460936 |author=[[Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications]] |title=Flytoget- til Drammen frå juni 2008 |date=2007-03-27 |access-date=2008-09-13 |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jernbaneverket.no/incoming/article.jhtml?articleID=1693207 |title=Flytoget til Drammen |author=Norwegian National Rail Administration |date=2007-03-23 |access-date=2008-09-13 |language=no|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070811104140/http://www.jernbaneverket.no/incoming/article.jhtml?articleID=1693207 |archive-date = August 11, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>
