It has two stops, Bjørvika and Middelalderparken. It runs along Dronning Eufemias gate and Bispegata, instead of through Schweigaards gate and Munkegata. [1] It is served by lines 13 and 19.

The section in Dronning Eufemias gate was constructed in the early 2010s, but the section between Bjørvika and Oslo Hospital, was only completed in 2021. The reason for this is the construction of the Follo Line project. [2]
