History
The first plans for a light rail along the route of the Sognsvann Line were launched by
In 1920, Holmenkolbanen applied to build a branch from
Work commenced again in 1933 and the line opened on 10 October 1934.
After the municipal merger between Oslo and Aker in 1948, Akersbanerne was merged into
During the 1980s, the city decided to connect the four suburban lines west of the city center with the Oslo Metro. The Sognsvann Line was selected as the first line to be upgraded, so the two systems would become compatible. The line was upgraded to metro standard by replacing the overhead wire with a
Frøen Station was rebuilt so only the trains on the Holmenkollen Line would stop there, while
Following the 1991 decision to build a new
In 1991, Oslo Sporveier presented plans to connect the Sognsvann Line to the Grorud Line with a new Ring Line.[19] The company also considered building the ring as part of the tramway, and have combined operation with both tram and metro on the Sognsvann Line. This was later discarded, despite the higher investment costs with a metro, since the tramway would give higher operating costs and longer travel time.[20] A detailed suggestion was presented by Oslo Sporveier in August 1996. It became clear that Berg would not be served by the Ring Line.[21] Many neighbors to the Sognsvann Line complained about the proposal, stating that they had hoped that the section from Majorstuen to Berg would have been rebuilt as a tunnel. They also argued that it was irrational that the line was running at-grade in densely populated areas, while it would run in a tunnel through the then mostly unpopulated Nydalen. To compensate, Oslo Sporveier stated that they would build noise screens along the line.[22]
The city council voted in favor of building the Ring Line on 25 June 1997, against the votes of the
In 2002, the Sognsvann Line was closed during the summer vacations due to improvements of the track and third rail.[29][30][31][32] In 2008, the line was closed for approximately one week, due to leaves that had covered the tracks.[33][34] The operation of the line was replaced by buses that served temporary stops in Nordbergveien and Sognsveien.[35] In 2010, a truck was stuck under the train bridge between Holstein and Kringsjå over Carl Kjeldsens vei.[36] The bridge was damaged, and allowed for only one-way-traffic for two weeks. Half the trains had to stop at Berg in the meantime.[37]
Route
The line branches off from the Common Tunnel after Majorstuen, and heads northwards through the borough of
North of Ullevål stadion, just before reaching Berg, the Ring Line with services 3 and 4 branches off. The Ring Line serves three stations,
Service
The Sognsvann Line is served by lines 4 and 5 of the Oslo Metro. Half of line 5 trains operate the full length of the Sognsvann Line, while line 4 and the other half of the line 5 trains branch off after Ullevål stadion and serve the Ring Line. All services operate with a fifteen-minute headway, except during late evenings and weekend mornings. This gives the stations Blindern, Forskningsparken and Ullevål stadion an average five-minute headway to the city center and all stations in the Common Tunnel, and an average ten-minute headway to Nydalen and Storo. On the east side of the city, Line 5 connects with the
