Grefsen Depot is a tram depot located next to the Grefsen station tram stop (the terminus of lines 17 and 18).[1] Grefsen Depot is one of the only tramway depots in Oslo, along with the Holtet depot, which is near the Holtet tram stop. The depot currently stores SL79, SL95 and SL18 trams after the daily operating period ends. The depot has also formerly stored the Høka, the SM90 and the SM91 rolling-stock. The entire depot takes up approximately 15, 000 square metres.[2] The depot has an office for Sporveien Trikken (the company that operates the trams on the network), as well as an association office for Oslo Sporveiers Arbeiderforening's Streetcar Club (a club that organises a significant amount of job instructors, substitute officers and wagon drivers on the tram).[3]
