The station is among the original ones on Grorudbanen, and opened on 10 October 1966.

There is no major bus connection, although there is a bus stop on the Østre Aker Vei highway to the south.

The railway station Alna is also nearby, and there are plans to connect the two stations by means of a pedestrian and bicycle path in 2009.
