Grønland is a subway station on the Oslo T-bane between Jernbanetorget to the west and Tøyen to the east. It is on the shared downtown track, and all subway lines serve Grønland. The station was opened on May 22 1966 with the opening of the subway, and underwent refurbishments 1988-1992. Peer Qvam was the original architect.[1]
Grønland is one of the smaller stations on the stretch. Although the area surrounding the station is close to the city centre, it is largely residential. The station has a small shopping centre adjacent to the ticket hall. There are no direct connections between the subway and other modes of public transportation at Grønland, but the central coach station and a tramway stop are located a few minutes walk from the station.
The platform walls consist of white tiling, making it one of the brightest subway stations on the network. The relatively low traffic at this station also makes it one of the most spacious. Because of this, the subway schedule recommends that passengers use Grønland as a transfer point between different lines.[2]
