It is located between Storgata (westbound) and Schous plass (Grünerløkka-Torshov Line) and Heimdalsgata (Sinsen Line). It is served with both SL79 and SL95 trams.[2] SL18 trams also serve the station on routes 17 and 18.

History

In the past, a station called Nybrua was served by lines 11, 12 & 13 and it was located on Thorvald Meyers gate. Unfortunately, it was closed temporarily in 2012 and again in 2015 permanently due to its proximity to other stations nearby.[3] [4] In the late 2010s, the street of Storgata was closed for repair and Hausmanns gate was disestablished in the process.[5] Between 2018 and 2021, a replacement tram track was constructed and Lilletorget was created, which temporarily replaced both Brugata and Hausmanns gate.[6] On the 15th of February, the current stop outside of the former Legevakten was opened.
