'Sognsvannsbanen' is a subway line on the
Oslo T-bane system, between downtown Oslo and
Sognsvann. The line was opened on
October 10 1934. The line serves northwestern and northern neighborhoods, mostly in the
Nordre Aker borough. The line has stations serving the
University of Oslo, and other stations further north which are close to student
dormitories.
Sognsvannsbanen was the first line on the west side which was upgraded to metro standard with
third rail replacing
overhead wire and longer platforms. The new
T-baneringen shares track with Sognsvannsbanen between
Majorstuen and
Ullevål stadion. The line is now connected with
Østensjøbanen in the east as line number 3.
