Oslo originally had two stations, East & West: - Oslo
Østbanestasjon (1873) and Oslo Vestbanestasjon (1872). They were connected
by a tunnel in 1980 and an enlarged Sentralstasjon was created in 1989 on the site
of the Østbanestasjon, retaining the original frontage for a shopping centre
alongside the new Sentralstasjon building.

Düwag/Strømmen
Articulated Trams - Class SL79
40 six-axle trams of type SL79, numbered 101-140. These are
single-articulated, and operate in one direction only. They were delivered
in two batches, the first batch, with 25 trams, started arriving in 1982,
the second batch of 15 trams arrived in 1989. The two batches are fairly
similar, but with different interiors, and the rear door of the second batch
is double. The first ten trams were produced by Düwag of Germany, the rest
were produced by ABB at Strømmen, east of Oslo. The trams are 22.18 metres
long, 2.50 metres wide, 3.41 metres tall and weigh 32.8 tons. The tram can
take 163 passengers, 71 of which are seated.
Ansaldo/Firema Trams - Class
SL95
32 eight-axle trams of type SL95, numbered 141-172 and delivered in
1998-2006. These are three-section, double-ended, partly low-floor trams.
They can therefore operate on the Ullevål line to Rikshospitalet which does
not have a turning circle. However, the large turning radius and heavy
weight of the tram makes it unsuitable for some of the lines to Majorstuen,
which have poor tracks and sharp turns. The SL95s were delivered by the
Italian company Ansaldo/Firema, now Ansaldobreda. The SL95 is 33.12 metres
long, 2.6 metres wide, 3.62 metres tall and weighs 64.98 tons. The tram has
a capacity for 212 passengers, 88 of which are seated.
