Strand Station (Norwegian: Strand holdeplass) was a railway station on Drammen Line in Norway from 1931 to 1973.
It was opened in 1931. It served the neighborhood Strand between Høvik and Stabekk, mainly a residential area. With Strand Station located 8.74 km from Oslo V, the more central station Høvik was located only 1.0 km west of Strand. Hence, passenger traffic to Strand was discontinued in 1973.
Famous quotes containing the words strand and/or station:
“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesn’t look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, “we will all die”, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
