It is located between Ullernåsen and Bjørnsletta, 7.4 kilometers (4.6 mi) from Stortinget.

The station was opened on 15 June 1942 when the line from Røabanen to Jar was completed.

[1] Along with most of the line, Åsjordet was closed for upgrades from 1 July 2006.

The station reopened on 18 August 2008[2] after an upgrade that included, among other things, longer platforms which can accommodate trains with up to six cars like most of the subway system.
