at the same time the end terminal in the city centre was not yet determined. by terminating at ilevolden, the company could choose any rolling stock, including the higher 1,200 v current used on the ekeberg line of oslo. should the trams continue they would need to use trondheim sporvei's 600 v, metre gauge and car width. however, trondheim sporvei had chosen to convert its system to wide cars at width. if the city chose to start the rebuilding of track from the current width, it would allow graakalbanen to buy wide stock. instead it was chosen to run the trams along the ila line to a new station at st. olavs gate. here, the trams would have their recovery time, and return to the ila line along a loop through dronningens gate. the loop was built by trondheim sporvei and cost the city nok 54,000.
