Connections

Eiksmarka is a station on Røabanen of the Oslo T-bane system between Ekraveien and Lijordet, 8.9 km from Stortinget. It is the first of three stations on Røabanen within the Bærum municipality, and passengers travelling here from Oslo need to pay a higher fare. To the north of the station is the Eiksmarka school.

The station was opened on December 22, 1948 as part of the extension to Lijordet[1]. The station was the site of a murder in 2002 when a 22 year old woman was stabbed to death.[2]
