[edit] Naming conflict

After Trondheims Mekaniske Verksted was closed, an urban renewal program was initiated on the site at Nedre Elvehavn, with the first steps being finished in 2003. Before 1967 the station was the site of the old station named Lademoen, but this station was moved to the present location of Lilleby Station in 1967. The station kept the name Lademoen.

When a new station was to be opened at Nedre Elvehavn, local politians wanted to use a traditional name for the station and chose to call the new station Lademoen and change the existing station's name to Lilleby. This was despite that the name Nedre Elvehavn has been used for centuries in Trondheim. Also, this has resulted in the station Lademoen being located at Nedre Elvehavn and the station Lilleby being located at Lademoen, and not at Lilleby. NSB has chosen to use the term Lademoen/Nedre Elvehavn in its routes.
