An Airport Express Train Nationaltheateret Railway Station

The railway station is located in Oslotunnelen between Skøyen and Oslo Sentralstasjon, and was completed in 1980. It is the only underground station on the main Norwegian network. There was originally only a single platform with a track at either side, but in 1999 a second platform was built. Formerly, the long-distance express trains passed through Nationaltheateret without stopping, but in June 2006 most of these trains, with the exception of night trains, are also scheduled to make a short stop at the station. Nationaltheatret is the second largest railway station in Norway in terms of passenger volume, second only to Oslo Sentralstasjon. The walking distance for making a connection between local train and subway is shorter at Nationaltheateret than at Oslo S.
