Facilities
The station received a major overhaul after the Østfold Line was extended to double track in the 1990s. The station was redesigned in the same architectural style as the preceding station Ås, with a modern walkway over the tracks. The walkway is built in gluelam, and shapes together with the stairways down to the platforms one minimalistic construction.
A bus stop is located on the east side of the station, and a park and ride facility with space for up to 120 cars on the west side. There is also a taxi stand at the station. The station building features a small kiosk. The platforms have sheds and ticket machines. The station is located north of Sonsveien and south of Ås Station, 38.65 kilometres (24.02 mi) from Oslo Central Station.
