Nydalen (station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two stations in Oslo called Nydalen. One is a railway station on Gjøvikbanen, the other is a subway station on T-baneringen. the stations are located fairly close, but not next to each other. Both are located in the Nordre Aker borough. The area around the stations is largely industrial, though the area (Nydalen) is gradually being changed into a more residential-industrial mix.
[edit] Railway station
The station was built opened in 1946 and is located between Tøyen and Kjelsås. Like most of the local Oslo stations on Gjøvikbanen, Nydalen is a small station. It is unmanned, has only a single wooden platform, and is served only by commuter trains.
[edit] Subway station
This station was opened as part of the first leg of T-baneringen on August 2003. Apart from Nationaltheateret, it is the only underground station on the west of Stortinget. Like Storo, Nydalen has a central platform with tracks on both sides rather than separate platforms on both sides of the track. Artistic effort was put into the construction of the subway station, and the escalators were built into a "Tunnel of Light" exhibition.
