Bekkestua is a station on Kolsås Line of the Oslo Metro situated at Bekkestua in Bærum, Norway.
Located between Egne Hjem and Gjønnes it is being served by the Oslo Tramway line 13 while the Kolsås Line is closed for upgrade. Between 1 July 2003 and November 2004, Bekkestua was the end station on the Kolsås Line.[1]
Since 2 December 2007 tram operations (line 13) have returned on this line from Jar to Bekkestua. Operations beyond Jar use SL95 trams as there is no turnback loop at Bekkestua. The tram operations were discontinued in 2009.
The company responsible for public transport in Oslo, Ruter, has the long-term objective of opening the Kolsås Line for Metro use again.
The station was reopened on August 15 2011 and is currently the terminus of the Kolsås Line.
