Voldsminde was a tram stop on the Lade Line of the Trondheim Tramway. It was operational between 1936 and 1988 and was the site of a tram depot from 1913. Between 1936 and 1958 it was the terminus of the line to Lademoen.
History
[edit]In 1913 the tram line to Lademoen was extended to Voldsminde and a new depot was built at the terminus.
In 1936 a loop was constructed at Voldsminde, extending the terminal station about a block. Lademoen terminus was then located on Mellomveien, just behind the depot. It became known as Voldsminde terminus in 1972,[1] but continued to be shown as Lademoen on the destination blinds of older trams.
After the tram to Lade was abandoned in 1988, the 11 relatively new, 1984-built articulated trams were stored at the then-isolated Voldsminde Depot,[2] because the depot is located next to the Nordland railway line.
After the trams were relocated to the Gråkallbanen, the depot was converted to a skateboard park.
