Økern is a station on Grorudbanen on the Oslo T-bane system between the stations of Hasle and Risløkka, 5.4 km from Stortinget station. The station is located at the intersection between the subway line and the Ring 3 highway which runs north of Oslo, and Økern is a transportation node with connections to a number of local bus lines.
The area around Økern is largely commercial, with the office park Økern Næringspark and the shopping centre Økern senter in the immediate vicinity.
The station is part of the original stretch of Grorudbanen, and was opened October 16, 1966. The architect for the station was Guttorm Bruskeland.[1] The station is being rebuilt, for instance platforms will be heated to prevent snow and ice from settling.[2]
