Vinderen (station)

Vinderen is a rapid transit station of the Oslo Metro's Holmenkollen Line.

It is situated Vinderen neighborhood of the Oslo, Norway, borough of Vestre Aker.

Located 4.2 kilometers (2.6 mi) from Stortinget, the station is served by Line 1 of the metro every fifteen minutes.

Ruter is considering lowering the tracks to remove the level crossing, which would result in a new station layout under the overpass.

[4] At the station area the first major development was Conditorigården in 1902, which still stands and was placed across the street from original platforms.

The station was mostly used for handling cargo to the city center, and featured a post office.

Operations are carried out by Sporveien T-banen on contract with Ruter, the public transport authority in Oslo and Akershus.

Vinderen is a rapid transit station situated on the Holmenkollen Line, 4.2 kilometers (2.6 mi) from Stortinget in the city center.

[4] The station is situated at the intersection Vinderenkrysset, where Slemsdalsveien meets Rasmus Winderens vei.

The platform serving trains towards the city center is located north of the intersection, next to Vinderentorget.

[3] The station building which stood from 1913 to 1971 was designed by Carl Michalsen,[5] of Ekman, Smith & Michaelsen.

This will require that the line is lowered past Vinderen so the road can pass over it on an overpass.
