Tjernsrud is a station on Kolsåsbanen (line 6) on the Oslo T-bane system. It is between Ringstabekk and Jar, 9.9 km from Stortinget. The station was opened July 1, 1924 as part of the tramway Lilleakerbanen[1]. Along with most of the line, Tjernsrud has been closed for upgrades since July 1, 2006 and its service is temporarily provided by tram line 13, as an extension of the service from Jar to Bekkestua[2]. Tjernsrud will among other things, receive longer platforms which can accommodate trains with up to six cars like most of the subway system.
