Route
The Grorud Line branches from the Common Tunnel at Tøyen, and runs first northwards and then north-east. The line serves the northern part of Groruddalen, which is predominantly an apartment housing area built from the 1950s though the 1970s. It runs through both the boroughs of Bjerke and Grorud. From Carl Berners plass to Ensjø, there is a single-tracked branch, which allows trains access to the other eastern lines without having to change direction.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
