History[]

The station was opened on 31 May 1898 as part of the tramway to Besserud. The original name of the station was Frognerseterveien.^[2] On 22 October 1987, a train carrying 12 passengers suffered a catastrophic failure in the braking system further up the line, causing it to roll down and finally tipping over at Midtstuen. One person was killed in the crash and four were seriously injured.^[3]
