context_page_description: Hauketo Station is a railway station on the Østfold Line. It is located in the Hauketo neighborhood in the Søndre Nordstrand borough of Oslo, Norway. Situated 8.68 kilometers from Oslo Central Station, it features two side platforms. Hauketo is served by the Line L2 of the Norwegian State Railways's Oslo Commuter Rail, providing two to four services each hour.
  The station opened on 15 February 1925, after the Østfold Line had been moved to avoid the Ljan Viaduct. Its original wooden station building is now a pizzeria. The station has been unmanned since 1980. Eight Ruter bus lines feed the station.
context_section_description: When Østfold Line opened in 1879 it followed a more westerly right-of-way through Holm. The line passed over Ljansdalen on the Ljan Viaduct. The ground conditions were poor through Holm and the Norwegian State Railways therefore decided to build a new rote via Hauketo. This opened on 15 February 1925.
  The new route allowed the railway to establish a station at Hauketo, which opened on 15 February 1925. It initially only had a simple platform in each direction. A station building with a waiting room, post office and cargo ramp. Hauketo received some housing in the 1920s, but first during the late 1940s was there any large-scale construction in the former rural area. There were some condominiums, but the neighborhood consisted for the most part of single dwellings.
  The train had a major competitor in a bus route. Prinsdalsruten was established in 1928 and started serving the Prinsdal area. It continued past Hauketo and then drove Mosseveien into the city center. It took the name Oslo og Folle Busstrafikk in 1964. The patronage shifted between the bus and trains. Mosseveien was increasingly congested and the 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) could often take 40 minutes. On the other hand, the railway was periodically subject to severe delays and cancellations and without a guaranteed seat in rush hour. Some use the bus as a feeder to the train, while others took it all the way to town.
  Freight traffic to Hauketo was limited and mostly served a building materials outlet located at the station. The cargo annex of the building received an upper story with an apartment in 1967. The cargo handling was discontinued during the 1970s, and the ramp and cargo annex were both demolished. The station became unmanned on 29 September 1980, losing the ticket office. The station building was later converted to a pizzeria. The station area was gradually redeveloped and received bus station.
