in 2008. This is fourth-lowest for the Holmenkollen Line and amongst the lowest for the metro overall. Steinerud is located in fare zone 1. Facilities Steinerud is a rapid transit station situated on the Holmenkollen Line, from Stortinget in the city center. It is situated at an elevation of above mean sea level. The platforms are much shorter than the norm for the metro and only have space for two cars. They are parallel and were both originally built in granite. They have since been raised and lengthened with concrete, wood and asphalt. On the platform serving trains towards the city center there is a prefabricated shed designed by Telje-Torp-Aasen. It is built on a foundation which indicates that a wooden shed designed by Erik Glosimodt was to be placed there, but it is uncertain if this structure was ever built. Just north of the platforms is a level crossing for pedestrians. The station building was a multi-apartment house built in Swiss chalet style, common for the period and area. The building is two full stories and has a half-story with a gabled roof. It has wooden paneling. It was a prefabricated by Strømmen Trævarefabrik, and an identical station building was built at Gaustad Station. Future Ruter has announced that it intends to close Steinerud Station. Both Frøen and Steinerud serve Diakonhjemmet Hospital. Neither is located particularly close, with the hospital being located about midway between the two stops. Both stations also have limitations and are difficult to modernize and expand as they are located on curves. Ruter has therefore proposed spending 150 million Norwegian kroner on a new station which would be about midway between the two and be situated next to the hospital. Sporveien plans to remove the level crossing at the station when the line is fully upgraded. References Oslo Metro stations in Oslo Railway stations opened in 1900 1900 establishments in Norway
