Oslo Gardemoen
I'm relocating to Oslo Gardemoen Airport.
What is the cheapest alternative when it comes to commuting to the airport from Oslo City (I don't have a driving license)? Are there buses, trains etc?

Lucky you 
There are both airport coaches (45 mins) and a high speed train (20 mins). You get a discount with both. Just check the info desk at the airport. (Downstairs in the arrivals-hall towards the train platform..)

was due to fly in from EDI at 1515 today on Norwegian. Eventuallly arrived around 1800. The rumour on arrival was a plane off the end of the runway / taxiway.
Any truth in this? if so, what?Couldn't say that there was anything obvious when we landed.

seasick,
I take it that you will be working at OSL, in one way or another, and thus you will have your very own ID-badge. Take that ID-badge and go to either of the two following places;
1: SAS Flybussen --> stops outside the terminal, at ground level. If you show your ID to the driver, you will get 50% discount on single trips, or, buy a card with 30-ish trips giving you a 75-80% discount. Dirt cheap, but remember that the buses can get caught up in traffic!! ...and Oslo traffic at rush-hour is no pic-nic.
...or...
2: Flytoget (airport train) --> Go to Flytoget's desk at groundlevel, and ask them about their rebate-card for people working at OSL and show them your ID. You will then get a form to fill out, and you also have to provide a passport photo of yourself. I don't recall neither the cost of the card, or the amount of trips on it, but it too was dirt cheap.
Of the two, I would definately go for the train. Actually cheaper than the bus, and a lot quicker. Not to mention you don't get caught up in rush-hour traffic (why is it called rush-hour, when everything pretty much stands still?!
)
