User:Aqwis/Kronstad (Bergen Light Rail station)

Kronstad will be a station on the future Bergen Light Rail system in Bergen, Norway. It will serve the southern parts of the neighbourhood of the same name. Located 3.1 kilometers from the Byparken terminus, it will be the seventh station on the line. The station is centrally located, in a residential and industrial area. The future unified Bergen University College campus will be located directly east of the station, on the site of an unused train depot. Kronstad is the station closest to Haukeland University Hospital, the largest employer in Bergen, which initially will not have its own station.

Kronstad station was one of the first stations to be moulded in the initial stages of the construction of the light rail system, and is scheduled to be done by March 2009. The first test runs of the system will be run between Kronstad and Wergeland station in late 2009, and it will open for regular traffic the following summer. The temporary tram depot, which will serve its function until the light rail system is expanded to Lagunen Storsenter, is located adjecent to Kronstad station.
