Tåsen is a station on the Sognsvann Line (line 6) of the Oslo Metro in Oslo, Norway. The station is located between Berg and Østhorn stations and is 6.8 kilometres (4.2 mi) from Stortinget. As one of the original stations on the line, Tåsen was opened on 10 October 1934. The station was moved 150 metres (490 ft) north in the 1990s, when the line was upgraded from light rail to rapid transit standard. In 1992, a deadly accident occurred when a T1300 train collided with a plowing car ahead of the station.
The station is located near the roundabout of Tåsenkrysset, shortly after the line crosses the circumferential highway Ring 3 of Oslo on a bridge. The area around Tåsen is mainly residential, but there is also small shopping centre named "Tåsen senter" near the station.
Tåsen station opened 10 October 1930, when Akersbanerne had built the line from Majorstuen to Sognsvann. The line was double-tracked from Majorstuen to Østhorn (then Korsvoll), and single-tracked from there to Sognsvann. In 1939, the section Korsvoll—Sognsvann was upgraded to double track, and the station Korsvoll changed name to Østhorn.
Tåsen was part of Holmenkolbanen's network until 1973, when the municipality of Oslo bought all the company's stocks. In 1993, the stations were upgraded to metro standard, which involves a heightening and lengthening of the platforms, and installation of third rail power supply and a new signaling system.
