At the same time the station was moved 460 meters (1,510 ft) southwards, so the southern mouth of the tunnel.

[3] This made Bekkelaget an attractive place for people to build houses, as it was then possible to commute to the city.

[4] The area received single dwellings, with construction starting near the station and gradually spreading upwards toward Bekkelagshøgda.

[6] The Bekkelaget Slide took place on 7 October 1953, when a section of the ground under the Østfold Line and Mosseveien slid and killed five people in a bus.

[7] NSB was aware of the poor conditions in the ground and had been considering building a tunnel past a section which included the station.

Local residents protested and NSB agreed to build a new halt at the southern entrance of the tunnel, 460 meters (1,510 ft) south of the former station.

[1] The original station was situated 3.34 kilometers (2.08 mi) from Oslo S, at an elevation of 15 meters (49 ft) above mean sea level.

It was among the first on the Østfold Line to be designed and has some of the most costly and spacious buildings in comparison with the expected traffic.
