It is located in the suburb of Oppsal, between the stations of Skøyenåsen and Ulsrud, 7.8 kilometers (4.8 mi) from Stortinget.

However, rail service through Oppsal is older, having opened as part of a suburban tram line in 1926.

[1] It was opened by operator Akersbanerne as part of an extension from Bryn.

It remained the terminus of the Østensjø Line, until 1957, when it was extended to Bøler.
