Template:Infobox Norwegian station
Ås Station (Template:Lang-no) is a railway station located at the village of Ås, Norway on the railway Østfoldbanen. The station is served by commuter trains between Spikkestad via Oslo to Moss with half hour or hourly headway by Norges Statsbaner.
History
The station was opened in 1877 as part of the Østfold Line.[1] When the stretch between Ski Station and Moss was extended to double track in 1990s Ås Station received a major renovation.[2] In 2006, a cultural meeting place was established inside the station building, operated by the "Galleri Texas".[3] The building is located in Brekkeveien 4,[4] and houses a tiny café known as "Kafé Åsheim",[5] an art gallery, and a small gift shop.[6] The café is open from 06:00 - 21:00 on workdays, and serves local commuters riding to Oslo in the morning, as well as dining and lunch guests from the area.[7] In the weekends, there are sometimes arranged conserts with local bands and musicians.[1] In 2010, smoke was coming out of the station, but it turned out that it was only a cigarette that was not been quenched, and had been laying overnight in a flower basket.[8]
Facilities
The station is designed like the most other stations on the Follo Line, except from the earlier mentioned station building, which dates back to 1877. There is step-free access to the platforms.[9] [10] The walkway over the tracks in the south end is built in gluelam, and makes together with the starways down to the platforms one minimalistic construction.[10] The walkway in the north end goes under the tracks.[9] The platforms have sheds and ticket machines.[9] The station's parking place has place for 200 cars.[9] It is located north of Vestby Station and south of Langhus Station on the Follo Line, 38,65 kilometres from Oslo Central Station.[11]
