The Alnabru–Grefsen Line (Norwegian: Alnabru–Grefsenbanen) is a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) long Norwegian railway line between Alnabru Station and Grefsen Station in Oslo. The line was built in 1901 to allow trains to go directly from the Gjøvik Line to the Hoved Line or Alnabru Freight Terminal. There is little traffic left on the line, only about four to eight trains daily, and no passenger traffic.
Possible passenger trains
Public transport and environmental advocates have tried to get passenger train services on the railway, between Lillestrøm via Alna and Grefsen to Kjelsås. This will ease transport between the Grorud Valley and Økern and Nydalen, that are partially zoned for commercial development. The only present transportation possibility between the two places is via downtown Oslo. A service would involve the construction of a new station at Økern and connections to the Oslo T-bane at Økern and Storo. Jernbaneverket has concluded that they do not want to test the service while Norges Statsbaner say they do not have enough rolling stock for operation on the line.[1]
