Voldsminde was a tram stop on the Lade Line of the Trondheim Tramway between 1936 and 1988 and the site of a tram depot since 1913. Between 1936 and 1958 it was the terminus of the line to Lademoen.

[edit] History

In 1913 the tram line to Lademoen was extended to Voldsminde and a new depot was built at the terminus. In 1936 a loop was constructed at Voldsminde, extending the terminal station about a block. After the tram to Lade was abandoned in 1988 the 11 brand new trams were stored at the depot at Voldsminde, since the depot is located next to the Nordlandsbanen railway line. After the trams were relocated to Gråkallbanen, the depot was converted to a skateboard rank.
