railway station located atStabekk inBærum ,Norway onDrammenbanen . The station is served by theOslo Commuter Rail line 400 operated byNorges Statsbaner with two hourly services.History
The railway has had a major impact on the Stabekk area. During the building of Drammenbanen in 1870-72 the railway company bought the areas around the line from the farms, and after the right-of-way had been determined, the unused lots were sold to the railways employees. Especially the lots a distance away from the line were cheap. This way the railway ensured a population to support the demand for transport with the line.
The station was first opened in 1884, and the current station building dates to 1902. Eventually the area around grew with stores and post office to a centre.
