Passenger trains never served the station, and the tracks from Frognerseteren to Tryvandshøiden were removed in 1939. The signalman's house was not demolished. In 1993, 2004 and 2008, proposals were made to re-open the station so that it would be more convenient for Oslo residents to use the Tryvann Ski Resort. However, these proposals were all rejected by the operator Oslo Sporveier on the grounds that the extension would be too expensive. In 1898, Holmenkolbanen opened the Holmenkollen Line from Majorstuen to Besserud station (then Holmenkollen). In 1910–11, a recently established company named Tryvandsbanen planned to extend the line towards Frognerseteren and Tryvannshøyden. The company extended the line from Besserud to Tryvandshøiden station on 15 May 1916. The line was double-tracked to Frognerseteren and single-tracked from there to Tryvandshøiden, as only the first section had passenger traffic. The single-tracked line from Frognerseteren to Tryvandshøiden was long and ran in a curve east of Øvresetertjern. The extension was financed partly by Tryvandsbanen's equity, and partly by loans from the Municipality of Oslo. In the 1930s, the Municipality of Oslo made plans for making Tryvann the "Davos of the North", following the opening of Tryvann stadion in the winter of 1936. The Holmenkollen Line was planned to be extended even further, from Tryvandshøiden station to a proposed hotel with 200 beds. This never happened, since the skating rinks at Øvresetertjern were too cold and windy to become popular among Oslo residents. Even though Tryvandsbanen had prepared the Frognerseteren–Tryvandshøiden Line for an upgrade to double tracks, no action was taken due to a shortage of money. The line was therefore unsuitable for regular passenger service, and Tryvandsbanen considered it to be useless. The tracks from Tryvandshøiden station to a point some ahead of Frognerseteren station were removed in 1939. In the 1960s, the right-of-way was gravelled over and converted into a rail trail. In 1993, proposals were made to re-open the line to Tryvandshøiden Station, so that the Tryvann Ski Resort would be more accessible to Oslo residents.
