 The station is situated adjacent to the sports arena Njårdhallen and the Embassy of the United States.On 1 February 2004 an inbound train derailed at Makrellbekken after it struck a tractor with a snowplow.The cause of the accident was a wind gust blowing snow against the tractor, disorienting the driver and causing him to drive too close to the platform edge with the shovel sticking out just as the train arrived.
