Gjønnes is a station on Kolsåsbanen (line 6) on the Oslo T-bane system. It is between Haslum and Bekkestua, 11.8 km from Stortinget.

The station was opened July 1 1924 as part of the tramway Lilleakerbanen. [cite web |url=http://www.sporveien.no/templates/Page____1033.aspx |author=Oslo Sporveier |title=Subway stations in the west]

Along with most of the line, Gjønnes has been closed for upgrades since July 1 2006 and its service is temporarily provided by bus [cite web |url=http://www.sporveien.no/templates/page____1150.aspx |title=Bus replacing the Kolsås line |author=Oslo Sporveier |language=Norwegian |date=2006] . Tjernsrud will among other things, receive longer platforms which can accommodate trains with up to six cars like most of the subway system.
