Nyland Station (Norwegian: Nyland holdeplass) is a railway station on the Trunk Line located in the Grorud borough of Oslo, Norway. Situated 9.30 kilometers (5.78 mi) from Oslo Central Station, it consists of two wooden side platforms along a double-tracked line. Nyland is served by the L1 line of the Oslo Commuter Rail. The station was opened on 17 June 1961, although an unofficial stop had been in place since 1942. It serves a mostly industrial area, including Mantena's rolling stock maintenance base.
The Trunk Line past Nyland opened on 1854. The area gradually grew up as an industrial site, with a major match factory established in 1865.[1] The Norwegian State Railways later establish a major depot at Nyland in 1943.[2] To allow workers access, trains on the Trunk Line started calling at Nyland no later than 1942.[3] An official stop was established on 17 June 1961, 400 meters (1,300 ft) north of the older station.[3]
