Majorstuen Station is one of Oslo’s most important public transport hubs. Opened in 1898, it began as the original terminus of the Holmenkollen Line and today serves as the key junction where all Oslo Metro lines pass through, with tram and bus connections immediately outside. Unlike most of the shared metro stations in central Oslo, Majorstuen is above ground, which gives it a more open and recognisable appearance on screen.
Majorstuen Station appears in Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), the Netflix adaptation of Nesbø’s Harry Hole universe, which was filmed extensively in Oslo. The station fits naturally into the series’ urban setting, where streets, transport nodes, and everyday city locations are used as part of the story’s Oslo identity.
In Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), Majorstuen Station is used in the early accident sequence in which Harry Hole and a colleague end up on the tracks after nearly colliding with a tram. His colleague dies, while Harry survives. The location works well for the scene because Majorstuen is both a real transport junction and an immediately recognisable part of Oslo’s public space.
