Future
The Ekeberg Line is proposed extended from Ljabru to Hauketo Station on the Østfold Line. To routes have been proposed, either along Ekebergveien, or in a tunnel further east. The extension will allow better correspondence southwards, including transfer to the Oslo Commuter Rail and Ruter buses. Financing has been secured through Oslo Package 3.
As part of the Fjord City and redevelopment of Bjørvika, the Ekeberg Line has been proposed to follow a new line on the south side of Oslo Central Station to Jernbanetorget, with stops at Sørengautstikkeren and Bjørvika. As an alternative, it has been proposed that the tracks along Schweigaards gate be kept and that the trams along the Ekeberg Line alternate running via Bjørvika and Schweigaards gate.
