Lilleakerbanen|

The Lilleaker Line ( _no. Lilleakerbanen) is a suburban tramway from Skøyen in Oslo westwards to Jar, Bærum in Norway. It is operated by Line 13 from Grefsen to Bekkestua of the Oslo tramway, operated by Oslo Sporvognsdrift using SL95 and SL79 articulated trams. The line continues on the T-bane (rapid transit) west of Jar as part of the Kolsås Line, and as a streetcar system on the Oslo tramway system at Skøyen as the Skøyen Line.

History

The line was opened in 1919 to Lilleaker by Kristiania Elektriske Sporvei (the blue trams) with double-axled cars. In 1924 the City of Oslo bought the company along with Kristiania Sporveisselskab (the green trams) and created Kristiania Sporveier, changing its name to Oslo Sporveier the following year. Lilleakerbanen was excempt from the merger, and extended twice into Bærum, first to Bekkestua and then to Avløs, where a depot was built. In 1930 the line was extended as single track to Kolsås, though later rebuilt to double track. The line was named Bærumsbanen. In 1942 a track was laid between Jar and the station Sørbyhaugen on the Røa Line, connecting Bærumsbanen to the T-bane system. As a result, the Lilleaker Line changed terminus from Kolsås to Jar.
