History

In the past, a station called Nybrua was served by lines 11, 12 & 13 and it was located on Thorvald Meyers gate. Unfortunately, it was closed temporarily in 2012 and again in 2015 permanently due to its proximity to other stations nearby. In the late 2010s, the street of Storgata was closed for repair and Hausmanns gate was disestablished in the process. Between 2018 and 2021, a replacement tram track was constructed and Lilletorget was created, which temporarily replaced both Brugata and Hausmanns gate. On the 15th of February, the current stop outside of the former ''Legevakten'' was opened.
