Ski Station (Norwegian: Ski stasjon) is a railway station located in Ski, Norway. Located 24 kilometres (15 mi) from Oslo Central Station on the Østfold Line, at the point where the railway splits in two into an eastern and western line.
The station is served by all passenger trains on the Østfold Line. This includes InterCity Express services to Halden Station and Gothenburg Central Station, as well as Oslo Commuter Rail services to Moss Station and Mysen Station. Ski is also terminal station for a commuter train service to Oslo that stops at all stations on the Østfold Line.
The restaurant at the station was taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap on 1 January 1921, but leased to private operators. After an agreement with NSB, Spisevognselskapet renovated the restaurant and took over operations again on 1 January 1924. It was closed on 14 April 1946.
New station
In the mid 1990s the Østfold Line between Ski to Moss was upgraded to double track and 160-kilometre-per-hour (99 mph) operation. Plans to build a new parallel double track from Ski to Oslo, the Follo Line, are proposed by the Norwegian National Rail Administration. The first stage of this involves building a new station at Ski. The new station will include six platforms.
